Friendly Correction bro. Kellen Morgan (inside out precision) Garrett Weaver (OnPoint) Love your content!

[@KnightsoftheApex]

Good catch! Damn I love both those guys too. Appreciate the heads up!

[@steven_farmer89]

I bought the 32 a few months ago, still on back-order though. Its my first Bow so i am pretty excited, i was looking at the embark but with my bad shoulders i thought this was smoother. This just confirms my purchase. Great video

[@jamesunderdal8976]

Absolutely love mine have had many different bows over the years by many different manufacturers and the PSE Evo EVL is by far my favorite. Its damn fine bow in my opinion.

[@lucas.5am639]

Just got my EVO EVL 34 and I'm blown away. It shot bullet holes right out of the box, so we didn't need to mess with the shims or yokes. My very first set was at 55 yards and had a 6" diameter group. It holds freakishly steady.

[@joshdennis8841]

AJ that EVL 32 is a dream of a bow. First bow I’m confident I can pull 70+ back on

[@monkeyhusler]

It's going to be my first 80lb.

[@Chriis_Perry16]

Man. Old video but I’m looking for my first bow and I think you’ve sold me on the EVL. I’m excited.

[@mikewassa4747]

Man your channel is BADASS!!

[@jordanpowell228]

Im still digging the nxt 31. Haven't quite figured out its most forgiving format but I know its there.

[@KnightsoftheApex]

Sometimes you find a bow and it just works. Loved my 31 too

[@rafibenavi4772]

I bought the 32" EVL a couple of months ago, same color with a 7-pin sight at 80#'s and 90% let-off and Absolutely love it! Shoot Easton FMJ 5mm-250 spine Match .001 with 11.5 gpi and pin tennis balls @ 80 yards...I'm good! 😆 Lol...

[@stevepav8604]

The Inside Out Precision guy had a good video today on excessive wear on the stock cable guard. I checked my EVL 32 this morning and I also have wear grooves in the carbon guard. I ordered the TAP replacement.

[@KnightsoftheApex]

I have started to notice some wear but it’s been purely cosmetic. What’s interesting is my Xpedite and NXT31 never showed any signs of wear. I would definitely make sure the screws that hold the rod in place haven’t backed out any.

[@stevepav8604]

@@KnightsoftheApex thanks for the reply

[@daracsteel]

Classic great video as we expected from you! But the room, man, that looks great! Real man cave ! Please give some more info about that paper holder for paper tuning.

[@KnightsoftheApex]

Thanks man! I actually don't remember the name of it but Lancaster Archery has them on their website. I think it's called a Sure Shot or something.

[@michaelamoruso2262]

Love your build. What color are the strings? what color is the cerakote?

[@novascotiapsearcher4497]

Xpedite NXT all day long for me. Great video.

[@paulshumate2904]

Love to hear your comparison on the EVL to the nxt 31!!

[@KnightsoftheApex]

Little faster, little quieter, little better balanced, easier to tune.

[@oliverqueen6775]

Great review as always! Is the cable guard rod position a new thing for the EVL? Seems to be set at 5 o'clock instead of the usual 1.

[@KnightsoftheApex]

It's been adjustable for the past few years.

[@oliverqueen6775]

@@KnightsoftheApex oh, alright. I just haven't seen it set like that before. Thanks AJ

[@KnightsoftheApex]

No problem Sir. Yeah it will depend on your rest and vane setup whether or not you can get away with it at that position.

[@wcwcgarner2717]

The cable guard on the evl are breaking a company called TAP sells titanium cable guards to fix the problem.

[@tools4spoons]

Do you have any issues with the cable rod, does your cable rod have a cant from the cable tension?

[@mitchwells4990]

I'm really trying to get my first really high-end bow how do you decide there's so many choices

[@Scjon03]

I just got a Evo Evl 34 and the archery shop I got it from does the initial setup and tune. However when paper tuning it they said it had to be reshim. The rest had to be on the far right just to get a bullet one. They couldn’t do it that day and had the option the leave it. I told them I’ll take it to do it myself. I do have my own bow press equipment to tune and setup a bow myself. They told me that in order to do it I had to completely remove the strings and fully relax the bow. Remove the limbs from the pocket vs doing all this from the press. What a pain in the ass. I had to do it twice to get the arrow down the middle of the rest. The shimming is a pain. I can’t stand it because I got spoil from the Elite SET system. It took me like 30 mins to completely setup the bow and tune it because of the SET system Elite has. But anyways, overall the Evo Evl is nice. No other issues other than the tuning of the shims sucks. Still going to take it back and have them check over it.

[@KnightsoftheApex]

I hate to break it to you man but the shop was wrong. There is no reason you should have to shim an EVL if it is setup properly and your grip is correct.

[@kylemacdonell1450]

@@KnightsoftheApex So are you saying all bows EVL's come with cam lean correct for all variations of Limb poundage and draw length ?? If you believe that I hate to break it to you, BUT you are INCORRECT !

[@hammerdesigns7152]

What color are these strings? I am trying to order them from a3 in a similar style. What color are the serving strings as well? Thanks@

[@billmcstay194]

Of all the bows I tried... The Expedite NXT really felt like it wanted to kill things.

[@KnightsoftheApex]

I agree with this statement 100%

[@ad-archw1582]

Awesome content as always

[@ilive2h]

I’m trying to decide between the evo with 80lb limbs and the xpedite with 80 lb limbs. I shoot a stupid heavy arrow and want to flatten it out some. Currently have a bow tech destroyer 350. I think I have a 30 1/2” DL but the destroyer only goes out to 30 and have been shooting it for a little over 10 years. I want to get a bow that I can target shoot out to 100 and beyond so that when I go hunting I’m confident with the longer shots. Any advice? I’m leaning towards the evo for a more “shootable” bow but I just have a hard time going away from the possibility of more speed. Thanks

[@KnightsoftheApex]

Hard call but you have to decide if based on your needs if that 5-10fps is more important than comfort. That will be the right call.

[@Bassinwithjesse]

Let’s get one of these videos on the xpedite nxt

[@KnightsoftheApex]

It will be a boring video. Nothing has changed and it's still my favorite bow ever. I'll discuss it more when I do a Levitate first impressions vid.

[@Bassinwithjesse]

@@KnightsoftheApex I just got mine today! Cannot wait to shoot it. Turned it down to 56lbs

I've been waiting 9 weeks for my evl I ordered then I called yesterday am they say 4 more weeks. Thanks for the content.

[@algonquin4837]

Do you have a video on you thought on best self healing target block?

[@KnightsoftheApex]

The Sevr HD and Matrix targets have been my favorite.

[@00_ELECTRICWIZARD_00]

I have a EVL 32 and I also run a front and side bar. Do you see any difference running the front bar in the lower hole? I’m running mine in the higher hole and never tried it lower. What’s the thinking with the lower set up?

[@KnightsoftheApex]

I have preferred the lower setup on all my PSE’s. It lowers the overall center of gravity below your hand so the bow sits a bit more steady. I find I need less weight up front with that lower setup as well which in turn means less in the back and drops the overall weight of my bow a few ounces.

[@00_ELECTRICWIZARD_00]

@@KnightsoftheApex awesome, I’ll have to give it a try, thanks.

[@traviscroft91]

Can you elaborate on you paper tuning holder

[@KnightsoftheApex]

I believe it is called the "Sure-Shot" and was purchased through Lancaster Archery.

[@Kgsoloman-ou6wm]

In my opinion, the NXT was a much better bow than the EVL. Very similar speeds, considerably more vibration, and hand shock than the NXT. Is it a real problem? No, but when you're paying top dollar for a bow, and there are better options out there... It just doesn't make sense to go with the worse option. The NXT felt more stable, and forgiving. The EVL just has an unfriendly feel to it. And dead in the hand is not a term that can/should be used to describe the EVL. Mathews are dead in the hand. The NXT was almost dead in the hand. The EVL is absolutely not dead in the hand, and you can tell just from watching it during its shot.

[@TruffulaSteve]

This has been my experience with the EVL too. I prefer my NTN and even my Xpedite NXT to it. Not a bad bow by any means, but I honestly feel like the 2020 bows were better for almost all of the big manufacturers. I do dig the bloodline fibers strings though.
