MATHEWS V3X 33 BOW BUILD

[@xXReLentLess99Xx]

First time Mathews shooter here. I always shot Bear bows and Hoyt bows. I picked up the V3X 33 yesterday and it shoots like a dream and draws good too.

[@TommyV8541]

I just test fired one and bought it. I have had a DXT, Z7 Magnum and a Halon 32. This is their best work. Do not hesitate to try one. God bless and good luck to all in 2022!

[@kykrazy6050]

I love to hear all these "youngsters" ,I've been shooting for 30 + years , say 33" ATA is such a long bow ,when back in the 90s a short bow was a 36" or 38" ATA and the norm was 40" ATA!!!

@@dieselpusher2548 Tex....??? Did you not see my picture? I'm pretty much as far from "tex" as I can get!!!! And I CAN run with the big dogs....just not quite as fast as I used to!!!! Me, personally I like a longer ATA bow because that usually means a longer riser, but in nowadays cases the risers are about as long as the entire bow. Don't have too much G fuel!!!

[@woolmedley]

Wow such a flex 😖😱😱

[@swamibr0]

I have a 29in draw (so 28.5 in Mathews mods!) and I LOVE my 33. Drives tacks and is so stable. It’s a sweet bow

[@clarkhoward420]

For a 6’4 dude who’s wanting to do all my deer & elk hunting and maybe get into 3D I think I might need a 33. So rad.

[@martygibsonsr5150]

Chris is so blessed to be able to play with all these Mathews bows, I'd do almost anything to just own a bow that nice, God bless archery

[@TSNOutdoors]

He is certainly blessed but I can’t even imagine how much work he put into getting here.

[@SirLadner13]

Save money up. With time an money, you can have it

[@joshsinglefooter]

Man with hard work you can do it too!. This isn't hard to do.

[@eggs69ing]

1200 aint shit save up and get one

[@TSNOutdoors]

@@eggs69ing right. I was just commenting to say he worked his ass off to get that sponsorship it wasn’t necessarily just luck of the draw 😂

[@stuartmorgan7946]

Just bought a v3x 33. Can’t wait til December 1st to get it. Shot the one they had in the shop and fell in love immediately.

[@bloodlines9610]

I've watched this video a few times. As a eastern bowhunter I've shot short bows for awhile. I shot the 33 and it was over. I'll deal with the length, the thing is a straight up shooter.

[@peteracero9408]

Thanks for the content bro. I went to my local archery shop did two lessons and after watching these videos pulled the trigger and just bought a v3X 33

[@jwild5360]

Took some snap shots and threw some measurements on them just to add to your post. String angle at your draw length is 74 degrees on the 33 and 69 degrees on the 29. For those wondering. Pretty significant

[@tjo-outdoors8514]

Gota deposit on that 33! Currently got a 28vxr and DL is 29”. I wanted something a little more forgiving so figured I’d try that 33 hope I like it in the woods as much as pro shop

[@molonlabe2nd244]

I just finished building my V3X 33 for elk hunting this year. Thing is an absolute beast!

[@Cantshred777]

My v3x arrives tomorrow. Been paying it off for a few months. It'll be my first new bow. I'm so excited like a kid at Christmas. Checking the tracking 6 times a day hahaha

[@1iving2di3]

I like the 34-36 ata bow over the shorter ones. Better draw, more forgiveness and stability.

[@dionysis84]

This looks like the perfect bow for 3d & hunting combination. By the time season rolls around, it would be $$ for accurate on that big buck

[@jeauxgoubeaux6264]

SO HAPPY they made a 33! Was debating on switching to the V3 from the RX line the V3X 33 is incredible! Shot it yesterday got it on order couldn’t be happier.

[@tragikk03]

I use my traverse as a hybrid hunting/3D rig and it does great; I'd imagine the 33 will as well

[@steve8828]

I have a TRX 34 and love it. I hunt with it too. You say the V3X 33 doesn’t feel like the TRX 34, but you also say it has a target bow feel. I am curious? I agree, that new color is sick.

[@paytenblevins3401]

They have completely different cams with way different let offs so the 34 will be more aggressive as he states, the riser is what he is referring to as it feels like a target bow

[@jacobsnider844]

love the reviews and bow build videos. watched your reviews on ultraview hinge release. ordered one online and was able to get my first kill with a bow and kill my first buck this year with it as well. keep up the great content.

[@chompo9135]

The 33 is so sick. I shoot a Traverse with a 30" draw and it fits me perfectly.

[@ericgmathe]

I am a 27.5” draw. 33 for me all day every day. I am a tree stand, and ground blind hunter. I do hunt open country out west as well. There is no advantage in a sub 30” bow.

[@richlininger4349]

That comment is completely backwards and makes no sense but shoot what you like

[@ericgmathe]

@@richlininger4349 It makes absolute sense, even with a short draw length a longer bow is still more stable and forgiving. Compact bows are ok, but accuracy is final.

[@TheXanex24]

Same here, 27.5” draw and shoot a traverse. It’s money

[@Outdoorbowhunter]

They are both sweet looking bows. Just not enough change for me to switch from my V3 31.

[@garrettheapy7254]

I bought one yesterday!! Can’t wait to get it on Friday!!!! Hahaha I love it I pretty much ordered the exact same stuff for mine! Thank you for showing my bow being set up 🤣

[@dr1822]

I literally couldn’t wait for this video. Lol. I’m a big fella so I need the big bow.

[@dristonlouis]

Such a sweet bow, really like seeing how each bow this year shoots, good stuff dude.🤝🐝

[@jonathonrenard6521]

I was planning on getting the 29 but ended up going with the 33 due to my 30.5 inch draw length

[@bounty446]

Great job buddy. I'm at 28.5 draw so glad you are too. Make's the comparison prefect for me.

[@fosgatenut03]

They even got the drumline out for you early in the AM! LOL Hear that snare rollin away! LOL 25:55

Nice job demonstrating what looks to me like an awesome bow.

[@jeffgenchi5863]

I rock thee V3X 29 Granite color. Love the bow

[@GhillieFrog]

Thanks Chris for putting out these videos. Super helpful. Do you know if the performance and efficiency of the cam is lost on the 33” model if your draw length is shorter? I am the same draw as you at 28”. I know this is a factor with hoyt cams. Thanks

[@dakotacornell233]

Best editing on youtube. Love your vids man keep it up.

[@danehale8637]

My v3 with the same rest is 0 out and was shooting perfect bullet holes. Paid more for the rest but ease of set up and not having to tinker was worth the cost.

[@wcwcgarner2717]

After buying a bow. The next thing you want to spend good money on is your rest. That shoots the arrow. I tell people at the shop all the time. Get a good rest. It pays off in the end.

[@brandonszpurko1257]

Thanks for the reviews Chris, great job as always!

[@UncleJedi21]

Seems like there should be a “common”/“general” rule for stabilizers to get the bow closest to balanced. Obviously it’s dependent on what you are running in the bow. Looks like he set both up the same for stabilizer weights and angles? Any idea where I could find that info?

[@calebleonard209]

When you say dovetail mount for the sight, does that mean most modern sights will go in the frame? Will the EZV match up with this?

Traverse 2.0

[@davidkoeppel4109]

Chris, you mention in the video of adding moleskin but didn't show how or where you added it on the bow....did you just put it on the shelf for sound deadening of the rest and arrow?

[@michaelvstheworld3680]

Traverse was 33", but I guess that was not what they considered "flagship".

[@kykrazy6050]

Nope, but IMHO, its THE best all-around shooting bow Mathews has put out in some time.

[@danielmckenzie30]

I have ran out of adjustment to the right with my Ultraview 3. I’ve already moved the block all the way to the right also. Is there anything else I can do to get some more adjustment?

[@clint18181]

Hey Chris, tuning question for you. I started off setting up my bow with the sting and arrow level and running through the berger hole. By the time I was done tuning (paper, bareshaft, and broadhead) I had moved the rest down a fair way. So now the arrow is a few degrees below level. Should I be concerned or just roll with it? Timing and axle to axle are perfect.

[@julianisrael6451]

Super interesting what they did to the V3X. Keep up the hard work Chris!

[@nicholasgirouard2907]

I also a v3x 33 with a fast eddie xl, but with the bridgelock system, my sight seem to be too far left? Did you use an adapter for yours?

[@byronjohnson4819]

What let off do u run on your hunting setup or your v3x 33

[@romanracela]

Awesome video, Chris. I shot both of them and I cannot pick which one to buy. I already have 4 Mathews bows (V3 31, VXR 31.5, Traverse, and Vertix) and I don't want to end up buying both versions of the V3X. LOL. They're both good shooting bows!

I have a few bows but I'm looking for like you said a hybrid bow to shoot 3D little Target I have a short draw 27 in draw what do you think about the 33 for it out of all the new bows out cuz I can't make up my damn mind

[@Roytheboy23]

wish they made a 31 to split the difference between the 29 and 33. i love my vxr. perfect ata for me

[@klajoye481]

Same, the 31.5 is such a sweet spot for me.

[@boyinahat3770]

What are some good bows with a thicker riser a lot of bows that I’m finding are really thin I’m shooting a pse spyder set at 50lbs and a 28 inch draw I can shoot a 70 lb bow easily with no problems and it feels like my current bow should I go for more poundage more into the 75 lbs range

[@thomastometich6767]

The 33 sounds a lot quieter from what I hear on the video. The 29 has a resonating sound. Actually shot the 33 today at my local shop And,,,,,I bought it !

[@liquide64]

Hi Cris, for 3D competitions where the maximum distance is about 45 meters or 49 yards which do you prefer V3X 33 or TRX 34? thank you if you want to answer Stefano (Italy)

I want your old VXR the shorter one, you know since you have all those new ones!

Great review/video as always man! Funny... since when did 33" ata bows become a "long" bow lol. That 33 has my attention for sure!

[@andrewdelvalle4622]

It's a really long riser for a 33 bow

[@toddwolfe1978]

@@andrewdelvalle4622 33" ata is 33"... lol doesn't matter if it's all limbs or all riser. The maneuverability doesn't change.

[@Allwayssalty]

Man I’m really thinking about switching to this bow…I’ve shot PSE for 18 years

[@phobiarg]

Them Victory arrows!

[@Orr_s]

This is the 75# limb setup you said? Do you know what it was actually drawing at peak weight exactly? It looks smooth as hell pulling back. Im shooting a 75# RX-1 with 80# limbs at nearly 30” draw and that thing is aggressiveeee. Wondering if i should drop to 70# or stick to 75/80# limbs for my new rig because i know the new cam systems and setups are much smoother and more forgiving. Now im wondering if this bigger ATA bow i wanted to get into would be bad for us who saddle hunt, any thoughts on this? Im still new to the saddle game and yet to take a deer from it so wondering how manipulating this in the saddle would be

[@smau990]

Would be interesting to know how ½" more brace height affects forgiveness of the bow. Like does 33 have better accuracy with fixed blade BH when you're cold, stiff and shooting in odd angle. Can you do like saddle shooting comparison between 29 and 33 with a fixed BH.

[@andrewyoder88]

The difference between shooting a 29 inch and a 33 inch is how it fits you. For example a person with let's say a 30 inch draw that's shooting the 29 inch bow won't have as much forgiveness for him as the 33 inch bow. The string angle would be steeper for him on the 29 inch therefore it might not feel right at full draw and also the nock travel distance from point of release to point of leaving the string would be a little further. Now an experienced archer with maybe a 28 inch draw could shoot both bows and you would see minimal to zero difference in the shot groups. There are other people that can explain this better but this is my take. As far as saddle hunting the 29 inch bow will be more maneuverable

[@smau990]

It doesn't matter if person is 28" or 30" draw higher brace height will be more forgiving to errors, question is how much. Just as well, would be interesting to see saddle shots with 33 and where the size limits useability.

Chris what kind of hunting arrows do you use

[@yfz450rider39]

I need 32"+ bows for my draw length. Anything smaller makes the string angle a bit weird for me.

[@Orr_s]

Could you ever do a video on how to get your field points real close to where your broadheads are hitting? I always feel like my heads are inches off at like 30/40 yards to where my field points hit and its frustrating for practice in season. I always end up just adjusting and setting up for the broadhead groups

[@tactic__ghost__2088]

I had the same problem with mine but all I did was move the rest in the way I wanted the broadheads to go, but only move it in very very small increments because you don’t want to move where the field tips are hitting. There’s a few videos on broadhead tuning that I found that were a huge help. My broadheads were hitting about 3 inches left at 40 and I moved the rest about 1/32 to 1/16 of an inch to the right and they started touching the field tips. I hope that helps.

[@Orr_s]

@@tactic__ghost__2088 and your field points still hit in the same spot too after moving the rest? I know its more dramatic the movement with broadheads vs field tips but just curious

[@tactic__ghost__2088]

@@Orr_s yep they shot in the same spot and moving the rest pulled the broadheads over just enough to touch the two at 50 yards in the bullseye
