Mathews TRX 36 Review!

[@xsamitt]

Finally will have mine in about 3 days........I ordered this bow and a vxr.....Can't wait!!!!!

[@DownLow0099]

Thanks for all your vids man! I've watched almost all of them now. Very helpful! Myself, wife and 2 boys are just getting into archery and there is now 4 bows ready to go under the tree.

[@xsamitt]

love it...!

[@stephenmartin7949]

I found it interesting to hear you talk about draw length in association with stability and how little changes make a huge difference. I added an inch to my draw length and seemed to settle down my shot exponentially. As well as improved my posture at full draw, and in turn improved my shot more than I thought possible.

[@InsideOutPrecision]

Yeah draw length is critical to proper form. Makes a huge difference

[@HouseBladeDesign]

Yes finally a bow that you can truly shoot back tension...I pull hard against the wall..70v would work for me

[@joc6117]

I love this bow.how does it compare to the halon x.what bow would you choose if you could pic only one and why

[@theHammr88]

As part of your bow reviews, may I suggest that you add a 3-arrow shot sequence. Seeing how it shoots would be beneficial and I think it will help you bring up some additional points. Just my suggestion. Great video! 🎯

[@Buran01]

Thanx a lot for the video, I think this is the very first one which describes the main differences in the draw cycle of the 80% and 70V mods, and the teaching about the accesories selection was very insightful. I have one question: how the TRX 36 stripped feels compared to the PSE's Evo Nxt 35? I known that the Nxt 35 has a very neutral balance, with both the bottom and upper sides of the risers weighting pretty much the same, and retains the vertical stance sitting in your hand after the shoot. I recently bought a PSE Supra Focus XL LD and albeit lighter than in the specs (weights only 4.96 puntds or exactly 2249 grams instead of the 5.2 pounds advertised) is clearly designed to be used with long front stabilizer, due is top heavy and drops inmediatly towards your face if you let it fleely sitting in your hand. Related to the potential success of the TRX 36 in the competitive landscape this year, I think that will have hard time compared to the TRX 38 and TRX 40 in 2019. Levi Morgan was pretty much forced to use the 40 due his wingspan (the TRX 40 and Halon X Comp were the only Mathews with 32"+ draw length, and the HXC was a bit small for his heigth). Reo Wilde is now shooting the TRX 40, and I guess that if archers as Broadwater or James Lutz ditch their TRX 38 would be for the TRX 40, not the 36 (not sure about Gellenthien, which was using the HXC). The TRX 36 has also some important drawbacks compared to the competition: is msrp is $ ~1,800, in the line with the Hoyt Invicta or the PSE PerformX (which are more expensive to cnc due their pass through risers), but the Bowtech Reckoning 38 ($ ~1,500), Elite Rezult ($ ~1,450), PSE Supra Focus/XL and Prime Black 9 ($ ~1,200) and Bowtech Speciallist II ($ 750) do all offer adjustable draw length whithout the need of aftermarket mods or the use of a press (also the Reckoning, $ 1,400). Most of these bows are close enough in IBO to the TRX 36 while having more stability due larger axle to axle and longer brace heights, and price wise the difference is huge. Even worse: I think that as crossover platforms both the PSE EVO Nxt 35 and the Prime Black 5 just murder the TRX 36 in specs, while saving $ 700.

[@kevinwright8955]

Thanks for the review. I almost bought the bow, but decided on the Traverse as a one-in-all bow. Awaiting delivery. What is the web address for Precision Academy?

[@InsideOutPrecision]

We are in the process of building the website and making sure all the transaction software works. I'll make an announcement when it's up and running

[@thomashood3748]

For a purchase of a TRX 38 used on ebay, can i after purchase easily change the draw length to my DL by swapping out the cam? Or does changing the DL require a new string and cable length?

[@msh441]

All you need to do is swap out the module and put in the one for your draw length, and desired letoff %. Very, very easy. No bow press required, either. New modules cost about $70-ish, but can be found used for $40-50.

[@troywesley4064]

Your comment on peep height being different from bow to bow is incorrect because you don't shoot a bow at static. The string angle doesn't matter as the distance from your jaw to you eye doesn't change.Try measuring from center of the arrow to the peep at full draw. If you anchor the same, the measurement will be the same no matter what the axle to axle length of the bow is. Therefore you will have the same amount of sight bar to play with on the long shots....providing the arrow speed is the same on both bows.

[@ashmerch2558]

Prices on the Percision Academy?

[@eduardoguillen6385]

HI, great review, would this be a good bow for a beginner shooter just for targeting but looking to get into 3D, I had a PSE carbon 34 and most recently bought a bowtech rs350 with a #70 limbs that I couldn't draw back, I am 55 year old and I am looking for something easier to draw I found a TRX36 that is in excellent conditions on eBay and the person stated that DW can be adjusted to any desire weight is that true ?, I understand that most of the bows are 50 to 60# and 60 to 70# and so, are mattews different? please help

[@InsideOutPrecision]

You should have been able to adjust your sr350 down to 50#. On Mathews the draw weight changes 5lbs with one turn, and you can safely take 5 turns out of the limb bolts, meaning you could take a 70lb bow down to 45lbs if you had to. I

[@InsideOutPrecision]

The TRX is a high end bow and would do anything you wanted to do with it

[@eduardoguillen6385]

Thank you some much, then I will probably get it and go from there, I am glad that you responded very quickly.

[@randallsmith4349]

Do you have any mods for a 36 ?? Looking for 29-29.5 “ mods

[@xsamitt]

Question for you if i may ask............If a person wanted the new Ambush Green on this bow would Mathews ever do such a thing?

[@InsideOutPrecision]

Maybe if you were a staff shooter, but I dont think they do it for everyone! Too bad, cuz that would look sweet!!

[@k.strickland]

How would you compare the TRX 34, 36 and 38?

[@InsideOutPrecision]

The 36 holds better than the 34, and the 38 holds better than the 36. Other than that they all shoot the same

[@mathews2088]

What arrows do you use for 3D?

[@HouseBladeDesign]

What did u have on it the 70v or the 80

[@definitelynotjess]

Hey! What's wrong with Cabela's?

[@InsideOutPrecision]

They don't know jack when it comes to archery.

[@InsideOutPrecision]

Or anything else for that matter haha... Worlds Foremost Idiots

[@ObelixCMM]

Your peep height is same on 36" and 40" at full draw(vertical distance from peep to shaft), and that is only number that affects arrow clearance. Distance from peep to nock at rest is just set up number.

[@InsideOutPrecision]

If you move your peep further up the string, the distance from peep to shaft at full draw increases. Therefore a lower peep height at rest means a lower peep at full draw

[@ObelixCMM]

@@InsideOutPrecision I disagree and challenge you to try it. Think about it, does distance from your anchor point to your eye/peep changes with longer ATA bow? If answer is no, your vertical peep height from center of the shaft to peep shouldn't change. If answer is yes, in my opinion you are doing something wrong. Please see this video from John Dudley for better explanation kzbin.info/www/bejne/emWWcplpp82Viqc

[@InsideOutPrecision]

@@ObelixCMM so with my triax I had a 6 ¼ brace height, my halon x a 5 ⅝", and with my 36 a 5.5". Its a triangle man. If one of the legs lengthens or shortens, the others will change too. On a bow with a short ATA, the string angle is very severe. Thus, distance from the nock to the peep has to increase to reach the same level as my eye at full draw. It's really basic math actually

[@InsideOutPrecision]

@@ObelixCMM Sorry, that's sounded really rude! Insee what you mean by the distance from the arrow to the peep armful draw wont change, but the distance from the nock to the peep definitely changes with different ATA bows

[@ObelixCMM]

@@InsideOutPrecision I didn't see it as rude, just a discussion ;) Yes location of the peep at rest will change on shorter ATA bows, but that does not affects sight-arrow clearance. Only thing that will affect it is vertical distance from arrow shaft to peep at full draw. So if we have theoretically identical bows except ATA you would have same clearance between arrow and sight. Problem is that longer ATA bows are usually slower so you will run in to the clearance issue sooner on them. Looking forward to some preview/teaser videos for your training course. Are you planing to do some online/phone support or just video?

[@stasiekspasiek7250]

Is it beter from prime black 5 ?

[@msh441]

I have a Black 3, and a TRX 36. I would compare the Black 3/5 bows to the Mathews Traverse. Draw cycle and hold on the TRX is a completely different animal, altogether. With the 70/70v mods, ir feels very similar to a recurve draw cycle, with all the weight of front, tapering off to a solid back-wall (were you need to keep some respectable back tension and pull through the shot). The 80% and new 75% are a little more familiar, with a tad more drop into the hold. But you don’t get anywhere near the forgiveness as the Traverse, or Prime Black bows. It’d a dedicated target machine. If you’re not ‘on-it’, it’ll expose your faults. Definitely go shoot one, and report back what you thought of it.

[@xsamitt]

What Color is this ? Thank you!!!!!

[@jhenrylee3798]

Do you need investors?

[@InsideOutPrecision]

At this time, no.

[@Life-of-Bluegrass_Music]

Wow charging for knowledge. That is why pro shops cant stay in business. Buy thousand + from a pro shop and they charge you for installing accessories and set up on the brand new bow you just bought.

[@Njjb122]

Charging for content isnt the way to go in my opinion follow dudleys lead

[@olehemlock]

C’mon, 24 minutes and you didn’t even shoot it.

[@InsideOutPrecision]

Yeah I hear you. The speed on a target bow isn't really something that matters IMO. For outdoor you shoot very light arrows at a known distance, so I'm more concerned with how the bow aims and shoots over how fast the arrow gets there

[@cmonkey525]

soooooo kind of like Dudley did with the School Of Nock, but we need to pay for it?

[@Thedudeabides803]

Dudley makes his living off of endorsements. This hard working dude you’re watching doesn’t.

[@InsideOutPrecision]

Dudley does a good job explaining how to use Hoyt bows and Carter releases. Never really touched on how to tune other bows or use different equipment than what he uses.

[@InsideOutPrecision]

He definitely knows his stuff, but our goal was to make a series anyone can follow. I don't have any big sponsors to back me, soni need to make my bottom line somewhere!

[@Impossibly-Possible]

a 200 dollar stinger will shoot 300

[@InsideOutPrecision]

Yeah in the right hands it certainly can! But there are definitely advantages to the materials and technologies used in higher end bows.

[@Impossibly-Possible]

@@InsideOutPrecision do you sell your personal bows

[@InsideOutPrecision]

@@Impossibly-Possible I have a halon x for sale. But its left handed
