MATHEWS V3 31 - FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SMOOTHER DRAW? - | HAXEN HUNT |

[@toddlymburner5783]

I think it’s important to state that in the past 3 years the top companies have really hit a level where the bows are so good and elite level that there is not going to be large jumps at this point. It’s not from a lack of creativity and innovation it’s from the bows are almost as good as they can get. The top companies are now staying on their already successful platforms and making small improvements every year as that’s all that’s left to do.

[@HaxenHunt]

That is true

[@flyfishermannick3632]

I got the v3 just because of the draw cycle. I love it. Tunes better than any bow ive ever shot.

[@HaxenHunt]

Draw cycle is smoother!

[@flyfishermannick3632]

@@HaxenHunt like butter. Best ive ever drawn. Dont even notice any ups and downs just straight back to peak and slow drop into valley.

[@steve8828]

I have no doubt it is a nice bow, but I have a VXR 31.5 and I am staying with it.

[@090faller]

Nice clean cut video man!!

[@ifyouridelikelightningyour5163]

Great review keep it up! I'm ordering mine soon but i'm not sure between 28 and 28.5 inches draw, what is your wingspan ? That'd help me choosing seeing how it fits you!

[@darrind8697]

Kindly do a head to head on the Mathews V3 vs the Revolt X !!!!

[@HaxenHunt]

If I can I will!

[@BuckingFastard]

Picking up my v3 tomorrow. Haven’t had a new Mathews in 8 years since I haven’t bow hunted much. It’s way better of a bow for me.

[@HaxenHunt]

Heck yeah that’ll be a great upgrade!

[@Hydra70964]

I shot the Nexus 4, Hoyt Ventum, and this bow today. Ended up purchasing the Mathews V3 31” in OD Green. It is difficult to purchase a bow with so many great offerings.

[@HaxenHunt]

Congrats on a killer bow!

[@patriotref7536]

What was the deciding factor? I’d love to hear your thoughts on each bow. I was supposed to go shoot all those bows today actually but didn’t get there. I’ve shot the V3 31 already and loved it

[@Ninjamovesbeh]

Thanks for the unbiased review, love it. Saves me some money lol

[@HaxenHunt]

Thanks for your support!

[@joshuasanders7805]

The riser length is the longest they ever made compared to the ata, why does nobody mention that?

[@andrewb276]

I know you do mostly flagship bow reviews but could you compare some mid range bows? "Bowtech amplify vs mission mxr"

[@HaxenHunt]

If I get access to them I’ll for sure do it!

[@mikethadeeter]

If I buy three hats do I get three entries for the “giveaway”?

[@robertblair5831]

What length are you cutting your arrows to with that rest. I am going to get a 28.5 draw length and want to order my arrows ahead of time. They come pre cut and I need them to tune the bow.

[@JonGunnerOutdoors]

New subscriber here. Like what I see on your channel. I am still shooting the Mathews Halon 6. Each year I look at specs of the new bows and my Halon in weight and speed is if not faster and weight I see no reason to upgrade to a new Mathews. Love my bow so why change to the latest when the specs have not changed.

[@HaxenHunt]

Thanks for the support! And yeah totally agree!

[@rorynelson7548]

What is the click noise when you draw

[@kenpiper7524]

Biggest complaint I have heard for the new Mathews is where the cable guard is. My pro shop said it makes mounting the rest a PITA.

[@HaxenHunt]

Yes.... for instance the hamskea trinity doesn’t fit totally right

[@ashleyman83]

@@HaxenHunt it doesn’t fit ? I believe Chris Bee has one on his set up said it’s close but it still works

[@HaxenHunt]

It fits, but you don’t have any adjustment toward the riser if you need it

[@ashleyman83]

@@HaxenHunt oh I gotcha I went back and watch his V3 set up video again

[@richandkidarcheryandoutdoo4372]

@@HaxenHunt basically sounds like you can't torque tune the rest. Not ideal. I run my rests further back.

[@Angel.Custodio]

Mathews 2021 strategy is if you didn’t by the VXR last year, here’s a little reason to get its offspring. Hopefully in January they have something in the 33-34 ATA to go.

[@HaxenHunt]

Yeah that’s true!

[@MidwestBowAndArrow]

get a Traverse

[@Angel.Custodio]

@@MidwestBowAndArrow is the TRX (34) the new traverse?

[@MidwestBowAndArrow]

@@Angel.Custodio not really. the TRX is a target bow and costs a lot more than a Travese.

[@Angel.Custodio]

@@MidwestBowAndArrow ill see if my shop has one, im not sure if they are around

[@crickratcrossbowhuntingand9321]

Still waiting on that hat Can't wait to get it they are nice looking hats. Keep putting out good videos!

[@HaxenHunt]

Thanks for the support!! Hopefully they get here soon so I can ship them out! They’ve been back ordered from Covid delays I guess

[@crickratcrossbowhuntingand9321]

@@HaxenHunt No worries, This Coronavirus needs to end fast it is effecting everyone and everything terribly, Stay safe and healthy and keep putting out the vids.

[@pahuntnut]

so if you had to choose the 31 or 27 and hunted out of a saddle which one would you perfer?

[@HaxenHunt]

I’d probably go with a 31 just knowing how I like to shoot when I’m not hunting. If I’m strictly shooting from the saddle and not going for any shots past 40 I’d probably go 27 just cause of how small it is

[@pahuntnut]

@@HaxenHunt thank you

[@jsmitty2047]

So, it's a VXR witha new roller....I mean CENTER GUARD....haha

[@HaxenHunt]

😅

[@jaguar_af_outside]

@Mike Tyson that good huh?

[@TheIceman101]

That bow will tilt forward with the sight on it but naked it is balanced.

[@HaxenHunt]

The sight that’s on it weighs nearly nothing but yeah I totally feel ya!

[@lancewoody6294]

Love my v3, best shooting bow imo

[@garretcarden1]

Mathews said longest riser to ata length, not the longest riser. Supposedly it's the same size riser as the 31.5, according to the Chris bee video at mathews he posted a few days ago.

[@HaxenHunt]

Yeah that is true

[@ponce1521]

I saw on another video that the arrow vanes werent anywhere near the center roller guard. Weird that yours are touching. I feel like Mathews would have that figured out and not drop the ball on something like that. I wonder if its gonna be a case to case issues and some will rub and some wont? Thats lame if thats the case!

[@HaxenHunt]

Yeah that’s what I’ve noticed too, also it makes it a nightmare to install some rests too

[@ponce1521]

@@HaxenHunt yeah doesnt seem like a well thought out idea but we will see. Awesome content as always! Hope to some some VS videos soon with the new bows! 🤙🏼

[@HaxenHunt]

Thanks so much!! Yep! I’ve got the V3 vs VXR series comin!!

[@HaxenHunt]

Listen up bud, it shot through paper perfectly. And I hit the target but ended up hitting a metal band that holds them together. It’s not sighted in at all but it was shooting perfect

[@dockrutan5293]

So if you was buying a. New bow this year would you get the vxr 31.5 or the v3

[@HaxenHunt]

V3 31, if I was paying the same price for thwn

V3, VXR, or prime black 3?

I’d choose the nexxus but that wasn’t an option in the question hahaha

[@the_sharp_carpenter]

@@voxpopuli905 they don't need to do a bridge riser, they just use stiffer aluminum than the competition. Have had 80# and 65# option for years.

[@the_sharp_carpenter]

@@voxpopuli905 I actually purchased a brand new 2017 Prime Centergy shot it next to the black 5. Just felt amazing. Really want to shoot the Nexus 4 I think they revamped the items that pushed me to the Centergy over the B5, I'll have to shoot the V3 alongside it, to see where they stack
