LIFT X vs LIFT RS - A Shoot Off!

[@blackbeard0323]

Looks like the RS is a good addition. However, UV can suck a D until they match products to realistic pricing!

[@dwayneallen3539]

I'm I'm 73 and been bow hunting since I was 16 years old I think you have the best hunting channel out there Keep doing exactly what you are doing 😊

[@mikevagedes4833]

Good to here form a 73 yr old! I will finish Mo bow season at 69. Jist had my rite shoulder rebuilt in July. Been a short season for me. But been doing this bohunt thing longer than I been a parent...can't give it up!

[@jwild5360]

If anybody is interested the difference in string angle is 5 degrees between the 2 bows at his set up. 29.5 is 71 degrees RS is 66 degrees. Significant.

[@spiceyrollgaming7069]

That Lift RS is a little fire breathing dragon. I’m outside of the draw length but I am super happy for those that are. They can really gain some good equal numbers and have a broader range of arrows and components.

[@RobertBentleyJr]

Appreciate the fantastic video. I ended up going with the Lift RS. 95% of the hunting I do is whitetail deer. Most of my shots are inside of 40 yds. Since I'm sitting at a 27" draw it was a no brainer for me. I absolutely love the rig. The RS is a whitetail killer!!! Your video was very insightful and helped me in the decision making process. Thanks!!

[@nehemiahcoble]

That uv slider price is insane, you can mount just about any sight with an inline bridge lock mount, arguably some better sights that cost less.

Have you thought about running the back bar on the front stabilizer screw hole? I saw that’s how Chris bee was running his if you wanted a back bar!

[@xdivineHART]

He is using an offset bracket for his front bar, which is supposed to compensate instead of using a back bar

[@seantimmerman2360]

Jeff! You’re killing it behind the scenes! Dan your killer, keep it up guys. Hope to see y’all soon

[@sarcazmo]

Gas has a video showing they twist the loop end of the cable to regain peak weight. I’ve started doing that on my yoked bows and it seems to hold weight better

[@CalebVernier]

Yea I think the issue is match cables

[@jacobstodden1107]

They were gas strings he said​@@CalebVernier

[@CalebVernier]

@@jacobstodden1107 strings yes but match cables

[@NorthEastPursuit]

I’m a 28.5” draw length…I’m right in the edge but I’m gonna try the RS and see how it feels

[@rwittman9932]

Instead of twisting cables, twist the cable loops to get your DW back up to 80#. It does work!! Also, if using cable driven rest, you won't have to remove rest cable to twist the cable

[@innovativecaveman]

Don't you need to remove the cams to twist the loops?

[@98blower17]

Not sure why people are saying twist the cable loop ends. That's the only thing to twist I think they are repeating what they heard, and don't realize thats the only way to twist a cable is to turn it by the end. But no you don't have to remove the cams either way. Simply take the tension off the strings/cables. His for instance was 76lbs I would start with 2 twist in each cable for a total of 4. Then you will need to check tuning/timing to reset it or verify it stayed the same. But at the end of the day it's 4lbs it's not that big of a deal if the bow is already dialed in the results bumping it up 4lbs is frankly non existent..

[@Alnelon]

@@98blower17 for the 4-piece cables they're talking about twisting up the little short yoke pieces that the cable attaches to, not the whole cable.

[@andrewcrosno]

Always love the data collection. Thanks for being cold for all of us!

[@STIHLFIRE437]

Great video Dan. Love the process. I’m currently debating on the X and RS and this video helped a lot. Thanks!

[@slabuda1970]

Ordered the lift x @ 25"-65lbs. The 5ish fps was outweighed by the hopefully more stable platform. I have a 10 year old chill sdx with 12/10 stabs 3 oz/6oz front/rear b-stinger stabs. I'm hoping I can drop a few oz on the stabs and go with the fixed low pro quiver and lose a bit of weight on my setup for elk. Shooting axis 5mm @ 381 grn. Will look at new axis 5.0 around same weight (370-380) with way more foc. Also hope the lift x can get me about 15 fps more too

[@raynerussell7998]

im 5 ft 2. currently using a phase four at 25.5 inch draw. the upper back and my draw shoulder get all wierd after alit of shots. the draw length is just too long for me but i pull the phase 4 at 75 pounds. ordered the lift RS at 24 inch draw and 8p pounds. will be nice to have a bow that fits. cant wait!

[@NickNewman-j8n]

I liked the video, i have been debating on which one to go with. we are similar in draw length. I appreciate how detailed you are on all your videos. i was wondering about long range and this is what i figured! thank you!

[@jongriffin96]

I ended up getting the rs. It was definitely the most enjoyable to shoot out of the two for me.

[@timcurtin8553]

Love the channel! Waiting for any SW Florida shop to get the new X in 33 lefty. Tough to swallow cost of sight though. Thinking Axcel driver or Pruf. Keep slinging down range

[@CandeeBear]

I love the sight, if you take into account that it comes with a light the price is comparable. But if you don’t ever use a light then you may want to look around.

[@Sterling410]

As long as the light on the new one actually works. I have had to replace the light on the original UV Slider twice. The first time I thought I might have gotten in wet in a light drizzle in the stand. The second time it was literally just condensation

[@greggthompson2842]

Great comparison. Exactly what I was looking for in shopping these bows. At a 28 draw length I think I’m going to try the RS. Thank you!

[@shiney1966]

Be nice to see a summary of all the data, draw weights, arrow stats, velocities, etc.

[@garrettaguillard]

Great value add of the parallel pros durability! Seeing Bodie Turner and other professional archers proves the accuracy. Seeing the proof of durability is about to turn me from the budget arrows I’ve been using and taking extra time to tune.

[@nicholaskonze3506]

I've been going back and forth for a couple weeks between the RS and the 29.5" X. I'm a 29" draw so I'd be maxed out on the RS. Got a little nervous about that. Loved the feel of it but ended up going with the X today, along with the new UV slider. Went from a 20 year old Q2 to a Lift X. Hopefully this one lasts another 20 years!

[@jordanjohnson4937]

Exactly what I was looking for I just ordered a rs and was wanting confirmation I made right decision I shoot a 29 v3x right now ! Thanks for video

[@jordang94]

love both of those bows man ! man what a time to hurt myself , hurt my back at work , and no ig , im still going to try and sweat tho !

[@thestretchdoc]

Good video on these, thanks for always sharing great info !

[@theWoodrow82]

I have a RS on order. 60 at 28. I ordered standard limbs as I will bump up to 65 mods at times. I loved the V3 27’s I had. Currently running twin Mach 30’s set up identical. Love the EC2. The RS will be a fun bow.

[@SagittariiOutdoors-ql1oe]

I don’t line the sight because you still can’t adjust the pin gap on the vertical. Which is super dumb

[@donaldsmith6404]

I have a lift 33 and love the draw cycle. I got to get my hands on a RS and check it out

[@JasonConrad-vn9ox]

So I have GAS on two bows. One thing I had to do is put twists in the cable throats to get them back to ATA and weight specs for the bow. Was quite a bit of movement in the stretch of the strings. Haven’t got enough shots in the bow with the match strings to see what kind of movement is there.

[@JasonConrad-vn9ox]

Also, I like the UV stuff. That price is over the top!

[@dimitrihorning4718]

Awesome comparison. Ended up ordering the RS 26.5” at 75lbs

[@Scottyman99]

Being left handed, hardly any bow shops carry bows I want to try out. Is the Lift X the safest gamble for me? Smooth, forgiving and quiet are my priorities w/o giving up too much speed. 28" draw. The 29.5" or 33"?

[@jeffgenchi5863]

These new Matthews are so tempting. But dang I have my bow press from MFJJ and I can tune my V3X 29 np. So hard to upgrade when what I have works so well. I love the 28 size RS with the limb adjustment. But the cost to change over is just not worth it.

[@critter852004]

As someone that’s 26 1/2 inch draw length, and wanted a bow that can go past 70 lbs DW. I guess I’ll have to switch from bowtech to Matthew’s.

[@juliusjames5577]

And young skywalker is coerced to the dark side….

[@critter852004]

@ 🤣😂 tbh the new limb shift technology and the speeds it’s producing. It’s too good not to. The drop for bowtech was so blah this year. I was close to grabbing the lift 29.5 last year. But my shop locally doesn’t really put in the effort to help with tuning and asking them to swap the top hats is like pulling teeth, and asking my buddy to help would feel like a burden. I just stuck with my Solution SD since it’s easy tune and shoots darts. Even though it shoots great. The draw cycle is rough and I really don’t practice with it until like 2 months out. Have guys at my club that shoot it, then believe it’s on performance when in comfort. These guys are drawing 72-80+ lbs, think it because their bows are much smoother even at a higher DW. Plus in bottomland it looks sick.

[@brockpeck7073]

The 80 pound bow is pulling 75 because the strings broke in and lost poundage. Twist the cables up equally a few twist. Will bring poundage back up

[@fulldrawassassins]

Dan already knows that. LOL There is no way he doesn't know how to fix that issue, especially when his close friend is FMJJ. If I had to guess, he was just testing his viewing audience. Nevertheless, you are absolutely correct, and I sincerely hope someone reading the comments learned from your sharing of bowntuning 101.

[@CryptoHuntinDad]

You guys can take any sight bar and bow into CNC shop and they will cut out your bar to fit the mathews and bowtech center sights. Any sight besides carbon. That won't work

[@douglasvaughn9530]

Run a back bar off of the front stab location on the RS and it will be more compareable.

[@dboots1421]

Great comparison.. just what I was looking for. X seems more stable for sure. Tks

[@Millersgunandsupply]

Last chance scales are pretty good but by just pulling with different pressure on a finger I’ve seen weight change by 5 pounds

[@coltongibson7519]

Noticed the same thing on my gas strings on my lift. As putting them on i was only at 78ish lb. Had to put around 4-5 twist in them to get 81ish lb. Got the next lift x and the match strings were 81.6. Only have about 50 through it so far though

[@stokermeister3]

[@extremesam9]

@ I have gas ghost on the 80 and match on the 70. I have twisted them back to peak weight multiple times. They are at the correct ata as well but they won’t keep their weight.

On the lift 29.5 How much weight are you running on your front and back bar?? Thanks in advance.

[@CryptoHuntinDad]

I'm really surprised your not shooting the new Mach 33 and Mach 30 since you love to shoot long range. I've always been a mathews guy and bowtech guy but PSE got me with their speed and easy draw stability cycle. I can say past 75 yards I do shoot better with the PSE with the full draw brace height getting longer must work. I never thought I'd shoot a PSE but I feel they did build the best bow and it's lighter and not cold. The paint on the PSE is better than I've ever seen but I found out why. They are hand painted in the USA.

That being said if you guys where to advise an experienced hunter that puts in the time on the other disciplines but has now decided to buy a first bow with absolutely no experience what would you advise. I know there going to be comments try them all get a pro etc agreed… but general direction should be looking, including bow, sights, releases, arrows all of it. What is needed more than just extra/advantages that a newbie don’t need and what is more than good enough first year.

I personally just can’t get over the look of the lift. I went out to tryout the new Hoyt AX-2 29, PSE mach 30DS and the lift X 33. The lift was smoother than the other 2 the PSE looks better than both but the HOYT shot better than the PSE so I’m ordering the new HOYT. To me aesthetics play a huge factor in selecting the right one.

[@BadKarma.-]

It definitely does, the top brands are so close now in performance that it's really just aesthetics, fanboyism and small things like easier tuning that make people swing 1 way or another
