[@travisterwilliger8952]

Can't wait for my lift 29.5 in granite to come in!! Looking forward to it. I currently shoot a V3

[@leroyjones769]

For the life of me, I cannot understand why other bow manufacturers do not put out content like this. This is the kind of stuff bow hunters are watching and love.

[@MathewsInc]

Thanks for the kind words Leroy.

[@GunnerKing-bg4qk]

It’s the kinda stuff that motivates you, you don’t need motivation to do stuff you love

[@louisholtzhausen7436]

[@MathewsInc]

We appreciate the kind words! Thanks for tuning in.

[@the_every_day_hunter]

The storytelling is pretty incredible

[@Shane_Screams]

I've watched this about 3 times and day dreamed of getting a Mathews Lift. And my company surprised us with a little spot bonus. Used that to purchase my first ever flag ship bow. A Mathews Lift. Unbelievably stoked

[@MathewsInc]

Welcome to the Mathews family, Shane. We're stoked to have you!🤝

[@MarcusTroyer]

Mathews proving ground videos are next level 💯

[@donotgoquietlypodcast]

I just started bowhunting this year and hunted the Phase 4. Was lucky enough to get a great 8 pt in Illinois as the highlite of my season. Had a cam issue 2 weeks before I was supposed to leave and Mathews rushed the cam to my bow shop and it was ready to go on time. I’ve always heard Mathews customer service was next level. I can attest to that. Waiting on my LIFT to come in for next season & my first Elk hunt next fall. Thanks guys for making a product I’m excited to shoot every day and that I trust implicitly in the field 👊

[@rfcorreiaiv]

That was really good, you guys have your A game on with this bow and the proving ground series.

[@MathewsInc]

Thanks for the kind words Ralph!

[@Baptistbowhunter]

Couldn’t afford a lift but I bought a phase 4 29. No regrets!!!! Best bow I’ve owned!!!!

[@MathewsInc]

Stoked you're loving the Phase4. 👊

[@shawneckenrode5916]

Excellent video. The passion of the whole crew was evident. Making memories that will last for ever.

[@whitetail.roots.89]

Bucket list hunt.

[@MathewsInc]

It's one that deserves to be at the top of the list, absolutely.

[@alaskafishin2429]

Cool to watch having lived in Kodiak my entire life, people talk it up a lot but for me it’s just a normal hunt lol

[@steveplantz7199]

Who makes the Bino harness with the Mathews logo?

[@reneavila9601]

What is that watch in the beginning

[@Canadianwildlifecams]

Why is the edit in the beginning of the video good, than towards the middle we don’t even get to see any kill shots! 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@leroyjones769]

That deer looked like it was dumping body parts. What broadhead was that?

[@shaunpgee]

Looks like a Rage Trypan.

[@user-xo7zs7hw7j]

Hi awesome film , what different packs are you using

[@MathewsInc]

Thanks! There is quite the mixture of packs throughout this film-- Mystery Ranch, Stone Glacier, Sitka and Exo Gear.

[@user-xo7zs7hw7j]

Thank you for getting back to me I’m just suck between mystery ranch and exo for a 6/7 tahr hunt in South Island nz 🙈

[@dm9856]

Where is this in the world?

This was filmed in Kodiak, AK.

What boat charter service did you all use?

[@MathewsInc]

Homer Ocean Charter- an awesome crew!

[@torreyintahoe]

A forty minute video to show two desk jockeys shooting a couple deer. Boring.

[@philipentwistle]

I could watch videos like this all day long...as a matter of fact I do. 😂 Love seeing these adventures and they're so much better than the short 10 min videos. Something about a great storyline hits you in the feels. Really enjoyed this one and great editing. 🫶 Hoping Santa brings me a Lift for Christmas. 😅

[@MathewsInc]

We appreciate it Philip. We hope Santa comes through with a LIFT this Christmas.

[@philipentwistle]

@@MathewsInc Santa brought me a 29.5 Lift in Earth and Mx2 rest with the bow stand. 😁
