WHY THE VXR SUCKS - What to do to fix it - this will change your accuracy guaranteed - | HAXEN HUNT

[@NONC_CASEY]

Same problems here.

[@ryanmattox396]

I’m having the same problem with my peep on my V3 31

[@maxjordan8484]

Buy some side plates for the grip

[@maxjordan8484]

I have the focus grip on an old no cam and I had the engage grip on my trx 36 and I shot so much better with the side plates and the focus grip

[@jacobsmall9109]

I bought a used 2020 VXR 28 and I can't even get it sighted in at 20 I've tried everything. I'm left handed shooting a right handed but I was taught shooting right and been doing fine but I'll try removing the grip

[@aaronward3882]

Change your nock point to change the feel of the grip.

[@HaxenHunt]

That’s the thing with the VXR is it performs best in the shot with having it dead center so you’re not really suppose to change the nock point on them

[@Civicfa5king23]

When I bought my vxr, and that grip was the first thing to go. Hate that grip. Once you get it off and run side plates it's a great bow!

[@reaperbmanb5893]

Get the inserts ditch the grip they are called engage

[@pfv3462]

What strikes me most is that "Almost all pro shooters" immediately replace their bowstring after receiving it from the dealer and because the original ones still stretch so much in the first months! As Podium Archer MFJJ points out they don't have the time to stretch the bowstrings on new bows, this is too costly and not feasible. Chris Bee also immediately replaces the handle because they are so damn good! I think you can improve any bow, or adjust it to your colors. I only regret that they cut back on their compound bows and that the customer immediately has to incur additional expenses!

[@haydenyandell1520]

The fast Eddie does not have a first axis adjustment, so if you have any problems with the left and right past 60 yards the sight is the problem.

[@ericolds1410]

Run the side plates, made the grip so much better

[@HaxenHunt]

I’ll need to pick some up! It’s unfortunate that you have to buy new stuff on a new bow though haha

[@ericolds1410]

Haxen Hunt go with the ultra view side plates they are half the price of the Matthews brand ones and really work well

[@HaxenHunt]

Oh they make side plates? I’ll totally have to look into them!

Nothing right now, just the bare riser

The grip was the only reason I didn't buy a Matthews this year and I switched to prime and honestly best decision of my life

I’ve seen a pattern with people that switch the prime. They say they won’t ever shoot anything else😅

Yea I just can't spend that much on something I don't like and there's not much difference between it and the vxr😂😂

It’s the same grip...some people love it! So maybe give it a chance and see how you do with it?

[@thereaper3575]

@@tommybrown3786 it's the same grip man I guess you could change it but why spend 1100 on a bow and then have to change the grip kinda silly if ya ask me

I was having similar issues, removed the engage grip, wrapped it with tennis racket tape, now it feels perfect. Havent had major issues with my zebra strings. Had some peep twist, got it fixed. No other issues so far. I've been shooting it like crazy since I got in march

Try the beereal grip by ultra view archery

[@HaxenHunt]

I really need to try it!

[@humanperson4132]

Twisted X are great strings. Those or Gas strings, you can't go wrong. That said, my zebras stretched 6lb in a year before settling. I couldn't wait to get them off. Watch those yolk saddles, the bus cable just pulls straight through that half moon one day without warning. Keep an eye on the loop where it's hitched around the plastic.

[@vinshanestrickland4179]

I will put my 1cent on this I just got the mathews atlas they tried to sell me a v3 31 first then a 33 v3x but don't listen when I tell them my draw length is 32" I'm 6'3 thev3 shots well the v3x shoots better the atlas is king there is no replacement for length in riser when it comes to accuracy . The grip on mathews has always been shit I have shot hoyt , bowtech ,pse , there is a great and they know what there doing company named shrewd that makes great grips for alot less then a marketing queens

[@kadenjameson1764]

I totally agree, I’ve got the same sight and bow. Been dialing it in over the weekend. Usually shoot with a lanyard over the wrist. I’m not a huge fan of the grip, but I’ve also been able to adjust my form and grip slightly and my groups have been so tight that I don’t shoot the same spot so I don’t bust an arrow.

[@kadenjameson1764]

A grip would make it much easier and less of a worry tho. The bow is crazy accurate and smooth, grip isn’t the best tho

[@gregpeterson6790]

I have the VXR 31.5. So far no issues with the grip or the strings...yet. I expect problems from the Zebra strings, considering everyone’s take on them. We’ll see how it goes and great Video!

[@elisamuelcuadrado2144]

I love the grip and have zero issues with it but I do hate the peep rotation from the Zebras. No serving separation and I have over 2K shots on it. I’m changing the string after I go hunting.

That’s good to hear! Some people it fits really well! Others it doesn’t haha and that’s with every bow for sure! Thanks for your input!

[@garretbellah8615]

The new PSE grip was the only one I really felt comfortable with.

[@HaxenHunt]

I’ve held it but haven’t shot that one yet!

[@garretbellah8615]

Haxen Hunt I actually have shot Hoyt for the last 15 years or so I tested all of the flagships and I’m really impressed with the draw cycle especially, the grip was my favorite of the flagships. No hand shock or vibration. So I was excited to make the switch to the EVO NXT 33, you should test it out my man.

[@claybenton8657]

Glad I found this video. I got the VXR 31.5 and was shooting this morning and constantly thinking how much the grip didn’t feel right. Also having arrows be perfect vertical but fly left for no apparent reason. For me I just can’t seem to get a good feel for the grip. Gonna get side plates this week. I also never fired a shot with factory strings. Had custom strings put on when the bow came in.

[@joshdennis8841]

My zebra strings blew up on mine a month after I bought it. Peep sight shredded my string. Bought some Gas high octane strings and they rock so far.

[@HaxenHunt]

Dang sorry to hear that! Glad to know it didn’t kill ya when it blew up!

[@joshdennis8841]

Yeah I’m glad I didn’t get hurt from it either. Bow was completely fine just string damaged. My bow tech tried saying I dry fired it but I told him what happened. He still doesn’t believe me on it. I have to take my bow over an hour away from my house to get worked on now.

[@HaxenHunt]

Geez!

[@b3brasil]

100%

[@justinvzu01]

So, the grip really is a personal thing. I'm just a target archer, so I haven't any bows with actual grips, I shoot an older PSE Xpression, but I can tell from experience that any grip does work. You just have to adapt yourself. That being said, just get a Beereal grip on there and you're done. lol. Besides that I would like to point you to your draw cycle. Never pull towards your chest. It makes the bow feel heavier, increases risk of injury and adds steps to the process of anchoring. Drawing towards your chest is often seen with bow hunters, hell, Donut Operator did it too in the latest Demolition Ranch video. But it's often an indication that your draw weight is too high. For hunting anything 50lbs or higher is good, so you're much better off just lowering the draw weight and working on a proper draw. Hold the bow high, get your elbow in a straight line with the bow, and lower the bow onto target while drawing back in a fluid motion. That'll bring you immidiately to your anchor, and acquires your target.

[@jasonbarnes3188]

I have shot Mathews since 1997 by a new bow at least every other year. Right now I own seven models never had a string break ever and put thousands of shots on a set of zebras before replacing. My vertix that I hunted with last year had probably 3000 to 4000 arrows and were still running. I change strings every year regardless but the factory strings and cables still had life. I have had way worse luck with Hoyt and pse factory strings.

[@ernestodelao1601]

I’ve shot tight groups at 60 but I hate the grip I miss the walnut grip

[@connerford4140]

Would you rather shoot a Mathews or a Hoyt because both are really good

[@BOOMER-rs5qn]

Buying a Mathews then having to pay for new strings and cables is about price equal to buying a new truck and having to buy a new engine. Makes no sense to me.

[@HaxenHunt]

Honestly I kinda wish I bought the Hoyt AXIUS ultra this year😬

[@johnnyboi5661]

I rather shoot the new hoyt Torrex xt than the vxr 28 or 31.5, it has a better and smoother draw cycle. For the Vxr about 3/4 of the way, on the draw there’s a very hard ridge you have to be able to pull over to get to full draw. It is easy to hold at full draw, I’ll give it that but that draw cycle is something else even at the same poundage as my own bow. Hoyt probably has the best draw cycle for bow but for Matthews I would say their bows is good for speed and the holding time at full draw.

[@strawnoutdoors]

I ordered one last week and I am super excited about it. I was watching your video when you were at the total archery challenge and got nervous because you weren’t happy with it but thank you for the great advice!

[@ozpain1]

Don't be nervous. The bow is excellent! Love mine. Just make the bow yours like anything else on it (sights, stabilizer, etc.).

[@vernproksa5902]

Don’t let one bad review curb your enthusiasm. As far as I’m concerned it’s a Great Bow and I love Shooting mine. The only thing I changed on it was the strings and I use the old strings as back ups. The grip on the bow fits me just fine.

[@MrJPW76]

I hate that grip as well. i went to the side plates and its night and day. im shooting the Vertix and its super easy to torque. If my fingers touch the front of the grip at all the bow torques. ive really had to clean up my grip because of it so its probably not a bad thing.

[@TyrantExterminator1776]

The REASON ANY company uses a particular ANYTHING is because of COST. If they get it CHEAP and can sell it to you for the same INFLATED GOUGED price that is what they do.

[@briantrimboli2192]

I bought my vxr shot about 40 arrows through it and axel to axel grew a qtr inch... Mathews fix was “twist the string”.... yanked them right off the bow and put a gas ghost string on it and it’s a million times better.

[@HaxenHunt]

Yeah the aftermarket strings make a big difference!

[@absaloncabrera1709]

I had the same issue the damn strings suck so I just got me some ABB strings and I took that grip off installed the side plates and used grip tape on the front and back of the riser

[@buckkshott6613]

Cool channel. I shoot a VXR 28 and really like it, I was hitting a decent group at 50 yards which is kind of my comfotable range with my current sights. Whenever I was off it was mostly in the way I was gripping. I also have a problem with the peep twisting but I'm at the point I need to change the strings. Bow definitely doesn't suck though. Lol

[@bigrainbow25]

I will change that... then agree with the guy on the last post... it's not the bow it's the Indian shooting it...what a great bow...

I have three other Mathews Bows...they all have the Focus Grip and my grip is consistent. I bought the VXR 28 and found that they don’t make a Focus Grip for it.

And the way you stated at the beginning of your video that there were so many problems with the VRX you made it sound like the bow is crap. When really The only problem was the strings.

Sorry bub. Blaming your equipment for bad shooting is a rookie move. Doubt if youre as a good as you think you are. Unless something is broken or way off, any bow in the right hands shoots well. New grips, properly tuned equipment and arrows only tighten up groups. Groups like the ones you claim are bad because distance magnifies bad shooting.

I was buying a Axius Ultra this year. That was it. Done deal. Before my Hoyt I owed a Mathews. So I watched you shoot the Bowtech Revolt and Revolt X. You were blown away by the draw, how dead in hand it was and how it held on target. I went out and shot one. The Revolt X is what I shot. I loved it!! I didn't buy it right away. I never do that. I looked at all of the big dogs, Hoyt, Mathews, Prime, Elite. Bowtech Revolt X was it buddy!! That bow is amazing!! Smooth as a mofo!! The valley? Oh man is it something! 85% let of with 70 lbs limbs. That's like 10.5 lbs holding weight. I could go on and on but I will just talk about one last thing, the grip!! It's the best grip I have had my hand on!! Dude you should have went with that first thought about the Revolt. You were worried about the limb pockets or something about it being plastic. There are certain plastic composites that are stronger than steel or aluminum. Take bowstrings for example. That's plastic do you think it's strong? I did not even mention the cam lock!! Dude the Bowtech Revolt is one badass bow!! Thank you for your video because it got me to try it. Btw..Mathews grips have always sucked!! Check out Rattler Grips maybe he can make you a better version of what Mathews put on the VXR. God bless.

Heck yes dude!! I need to actually commit to a bowtech once and see how I like it at far distances and long periods of owning it! Thanks for your input!!

Where’s your clickbait of the new V3? Dweeb

[@HaxenHunt]

Haha

[@andyw237]

It is sad that manufacturers are STILL putting dumb cheap plastic grips on otherwise good bows (Mathews, Bear, Hoyt, PSE etc)! grips cause torque, any bow with a cheap plastic grip on it always handles better without it. take the grip off and shoot from the riser, accuracy will improve. it would be nice to see more bow makers use a riser grip instead, like Prime, Athens, Obsession etc. those bows all shoot great with very minimal torque problems.

Damn, I'm still shooting zebra strings after like 3 years. Guess I lucked out lol. And why get the 28 over the 31.5? The longer ATA will help with shots past 50 yards.

[@HaxenHunt]

For sure!! I wanted to try and test it out haha

[@Kgsoloman-ou6wm]

I bought a vxr 28. Was okay, ended up selling it for the 31.5 because I thought maybe it was the shorter axle that made me shoot iffy (I have a 30” draw). Got the 31.5, kept having torque issues. The strings kept twisting peep, would set the poundage to 70 within 2 days it would be down to 68. Sold it. Bought a pse Mach 1. Instant bullet holes, no vane clearance issues on the cables or riser like Mathews( even with rest at centershot), set the bow to 72 lbs. a month later still at 72 lbs. shooting the pse made me realize how jumpy Mathews are off the back wall. Needless to say, PSE is my brand now.

[@corypina5110]

You’re out of your mind. That bow is awesome. You just can’t shoot.

[@HaxenHunt]

Haha you’re right.. I can’t shoot😅 hahahaha

His form is garbage

[@perrybeede9498]

He couldn't shoot it the way he wanted until he took the grip off..boom ! So easy trolls..

[@HaxenHunt]

Heck ya! That’s good to hear! Some people it works really good for! Some people it’s a little harder to work with but I’m glad it works good for you! 👊🏽

[@Jonny-wn1fl]

Bought mine with custom strings because you are correct zebra strings suck

[@HaxenHunt]

Heck ya! You love it with your custom strings?

[@Jonny-wn1fl]

@@HaxenHunt yeah and mine are not ghost strings or anything of that quality but they are for sure better than zebra my next ones will probably be hogwire or ghost

[@HaxenHunt]

Dude you should try twisted X! He makes some killer strings!

[@Jonny-wn1fl]

@@HaxenHunt i will look them up for sure

[@billybobb1448]

Without watching the video: Change out the Zebra strings!?!

[@HaxenHunt]

Hahaha yup

[@billybobb1448]

@@HaxenHunt With all the positive reviews on the VXR, I thought about shooting one. So glad to have shot the Xpedition Xcursion 7 HD first! The grip is the riser and the stock strings are GAS. Fantastic draw cycle, rock solid back wall (limb stops) and so accurate that I'm a better shot! Oh, and since it was last year's bow, killer pricing. Good luck with your hunts! Thanks for the great content!!!!

[@HaxenHunt]

Heck ya man! I really need to try to shoot the Xpeditions! Thanks for your input!!👊🏽
