First look at the all new Mathews atlas!

we are taking a couple shots with the atlas and seeing what kind of speed 30" will get with a 350 grain arrow.

[@jeffreypatrick5641]

I am the mentioned Sasquatch bow shooter I guess........I own this bow and have a 32.5" draw length. I love this bow! I have only had it a short time but it fits me fantastic and it shoots so smooth!...........I shoot uncut 32" Victory Vap shafts.

[@garrettcurran3291]

Funny you say that, I also shoot uncut victory vap shafts at 32.5” but with a bowtech BT-MAG X. Got it a little bit before the atlas came out. Would have been interesting to be able to compare the two but I’ve shot bowtech all my life so there’s probably a bit of bias.

[@calbosard3815]

Thanks dude, finally legit review on the bow built for us big dudes

[@kevindaniels6]

I love this bow..im a 34 inch draw length and have always had issues with finding bows with this length option..this year I had two to choose from the hoyt and mathews both are great bows

[@ChilleDxFighteR]

BowTech as well with the Mag

[@brandonfalis6855]

I love my atlas. Shooting 32.5" 73lbs 80% letoff. 310fps using 465grain x impacts

[@drested1793]

I think in November we see a new cam for this that hits the standard d.l. range. Maybe 26 to 29 or 29.5 inch draw. I think, and hope I’m correct that we get a V3 33 or 32.5. Sort of a Traverse 2.0. That happens, I order immediately.

[@Buran01]

Hopefully. I was expecting a 35" with SW modules and the Atlas delivered... Until I saw the minimum dl (29.5" which usually with Mathews means near 30"). I shoot compounds around 29"-29.5" so was a bit sad to see this falling just out my range. I'm on the search of an hybrid 3D bow and currently undecided between the Remedy, the Nexus 6 or just to wait fall of this year to see if PSE releases a Mach 1 in 35" or Bowtech releases a new BT Mag with the Deadlock cam system. I hate how the market moved towards tiny axle to axle bows in the hunting department. Their string angles feel unnatural and we did successfully hunt with 70" longbows for millenia, why is every brand obssesed with sub 34" ata compounds for blind? That's more like fishing with dynamite in a fishbowl than propper hunting!

[@anthonymcknight9462]

Hello great review. Lol I have 33 1/2. D/L and I have tested the Atlas. My test used full length Beman ICS 100 GR. POINT for total weight 423. The 70 lbs mod. didn't have enough speed for me to consider the purchase for a 2021 bow then I tried the 75 lbs. Mods. and then the speed jumped to 316 fps. My new choice of arrows will be GoldTip hunter XT that come in at 414. This bow will be hitting 320 fps. Needless to say I bought the bow. Thank You!!

[@Trifecta_Handgun]

Anthony which spine are you using to get a total weight that low? Seems like your draw length would make that arrow a wet noodle.

[@anthonymcknight9462]

Hello, the Bemans are 300 spine.the GoldTip arrows are 300 spine at 29 " to throat of nock

[@brianthurber2713]

I'm that guy. Ordered mine January 13th and haven't aee it yet, I have a 32.5 DL and will be shooting the bow with a 520 grn. arrow at 75 lbs. Can't wait

[@SWINGERINTO]

I'm only a 28" dl, and shooting 502grn arrows into my targets with 75lbs is destroying my targets! Lol, you're going to be impressed, and then have to replace all of your targets in rapid succession.

[@The_Rut_Funnel]

I need some advice! I have a Mathews V3 and a TRX G2 for 3D but I’m thinking it makes more sense to have a back up hunting bow I can use for 3D and target snd with that brace height I’m debating trading out the TRX for the Atlas. Thoughts?

[@jauonerm8449]

I pick mines up soon. 34inch draw length for me!!!

[@michaelyanni4422]

That was GREAT !!!!!!! Thanks so much

[@StanielP]

From experience and having the bow for a while that “residual vibration” (residual tuning fork vibration) can be taken out with Monkey Tails on the cables and on the string if you are willing to have extra weight on the string. The VXR‘s had monkey tails when they were sent out the Atlas did not idk why 🤷🏻 it makes a big difference

[@Piledriver2235]

My Mathews Atlas 32in draw 75# 80% shooting Axis 260's with 150gr up front = 544grains at 273fps

[@GmAn-vo8cf]

Fingers crossed that Mathews brings back a bow with traverse specs. I love my traverse more than my vxr

[@SarcasticComments23]

I’m the opposite. So it depends on how many people feel how you feel. Whatever sells is what a company will make

[@fatchazz1982]

MFJJ what’s your thoughts on the Nexus 6?

[@darrind8697]

Great review . Though no longer new is there any chance you could review the Revolt X ?? Do you still think it runs with the big (more current ) dogs ??

[@heathhenry6083]

Lurch approves

[@danefox4523]

Great review I’m looking at buying a set of your strings and cables for my vxr31.5 I wanna make sure I get the ones you make do you have a link to your strings so I can order

[@bigwestreviews4933]

If anyone has more speed tests they want to put in the comments I’d appreciate it.

[@ctreece7506]

I shot the atlas just the other day at a bow shop. At 32” draw 70# 458 grain arrow I was getting 289 fps

[@jamesjubber2242]

The duO 1 means duplicate reading. So the current reading is the same as the last reading

[@steveburke3]

Correct!

[@mickpetulla6060]

Hey mate Reflex measurement? Preference between the highline and atles?

[@jamieganderton]

Im 32.5 inch draw with wrist release. 34 with hinge. How much speed do you gain from 30inch to 32.5 to 34?

[@caseywise7348]

Hi Josh my is Casey if reach you ask you a few questions I have a atlas. At 33dl. Trying to decide on poundage and letoff

[@harveygalloway3965]

It would have been great if you could have found someone in that 32-34 in draw length to have shot it for you....

[@jeffreypatrick5641]

I own this bow, I have a 32.5" draw. I love this bow!

[@miked8227]

Shaq endorsed this bow after they cut the draw length down for him

[@ThatJamesGuy88]

I can’t afford brand new flagship bows... But I’m hoping we get a 32” ATA Mathews for 2022. That way I can afford one in 2024.

[@mustang268]

Judt get a Halon 32

[@ThatJamesGuy88]

@@mustang268 When the budget allows, I’ll be hunting a new old stock Halon. That’ll probably be a long time, by then there will probably be a new flagship 32”.

[@mustang268]

You can get used Halon 32 in great shape for under 400

[@miked903]

Good review! What kind of knocks are those?

[@joshjones6862]

Nockturnal fit

[@SWINGERINTO]

Silly question, but wouldn't the bow be faster @32-33"?

[@chancelong8622]

It certainly would be.

[@gabuckeye3398]

I’m offended. I have a 34” draw (Im 6’6” and wear 36-37 sleeve shirts). And I’m NOT a “Sasquatch”. I’m a Wookie. There’s a difference 😡

[@jeffreypatrick5641]

You can hang out with us, Big Man!

[@J.A.Stewart]

Wookies are just space Sasquatch 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@andreweverett6925]

For a person with a draw board measured 32.5 inch draw length do you recommend this bow over a Mathews traverse or an rx5? The rx5 seems to measure at 32.5 inch with the 32 inch modules. Do you still think that this bow is the best of the long draw bows?

[@andreweverett6925]

Thanks!

[@andreweverett6925]

How do you feel about the bowtech by mag x?

[@arttrumbo9496]

@@andreweverett6925 I shot one for a year and a half. It was silent, well balanced, dead I. The hand, and shot very accurately. Unfortunately in that time I broke 3 different sets of limbs due to no fault of my own. I would recommend staying away from the BT Mag X. Apparently they are notorious for limb issues.

[@metro9636]

why do you always draw the bow without an arrow? Dont you think the dloop could fail or your hand slip?

[@James.712]

What would the " true adjusted IBO speed" be for this bow if shot at 30 inches?

[@bigwestreviews4933]

I haven’t calced it myself but according to the internet it’s around 310. It’s really not made for shorter draw lengths just like the new V3’s wouldn’t be fast at 26” draw.

[@Thedudeabides803]

I shoot this bow at 29.5. I don’t care about speed. It’s just a joy to shoot and I’ve never shot better.

[@repentant]

Your review is right on the money It’s perfect if your drawl length is over 30.5 and you want to shoot a Matthews or the real benefit comes from someone it was drawling at about 31.5 or 2 inches in on up I don’t really think I need it to be called a Sasquatch but I am not butt hurt about it laugh out loud

[@James.712]

I think Mathews screwed the pooch here to a fault. If you are the average Joe (28 to 29 inch dl) that wants an ATA hunting bow greater than the V3, you need to squeeze and pay up for the TRX 34 ("converted target bow") I shoot 30 inches and test shot the Atlas alongside the V3 31 on Friday. After a couple of hours of due diligence at the shop, I drove home with the Atlas.... In my hands shooting blank bail at the shop, it just felt more comfortable than the 31 for me. I couldn't justify even looking at or putting the TRX 34 in my hands due to the price difference. I took the price difference between the Atlas and TRX 34 and rigged it out with quality accessories.

[@jthetruth6454]

Tbh if your 6’3 or I’ve this is the bow for you if you’re in to the sport sorry if your short 😂
