MATHEWS LIFT X (unsponsored review)

[@TimConnor13]

What bow launch are ya’ll most excited about?

[@chris_f_eden]

So far Darton Sequel 35 ST2 but also still waiting on Bowtech (Nov 26 from what I hear)

[@dustinroberts3403]

I would like to check out the new sequel 35 and the elite exalt

[@Anton-Grim]

I'm curious about the new Bow tech

[@mule659]

I have a Darton Sequel 33 ST2 on order and am so excited to get it.

[@ZachCook-rm8zp]

Darton 31

[@NickyZee]

Tim looking like Uncle Tim who lives in a trailer on MFJJs back 40.

[@rattlinbucks]

He looks like he should be singing John Deere green at karaoke

[@jonahfinley]

The time Tim spends on the editing of intros and just creativity of formatting is unreal lglg tim

[@3fs557]

Thank you for a honest review and not a sponsered ad on channels like elkshape, Chris bee etc. It's a shame how people think that new is always better. Often innovations go backwards. Maybe the new tuning option is the right way but 99% of all archers can't even outshoot a 2021 compound bow. They believe they will be better with new stuff but a good archer shoots well with every bow.

[@codyspriggs6739]

The lift is a beautiful bow, I have one. The thing about the lift X that is supposed to separate it from the previous model is the tuning feature and that you don’t need a press. However, you can’t fully tune it at home without a press because if your timing is off, you need a press lol. It’s a great way to really micro tune it and get those left and right tears out. Neat feature for bow techs though.

[@Afio58]

I speak for everyone when I say that Tim is the man. The videos are rad but Tim himself is the most genuine dude. Thats why I tune in anyways!

[@KevinJunkans]

Take notes kids, Tims 3-way and non-turkey bacon negotiation skills are top tier.

[@Anton-Grim]

Hey Tim what's up 🤜🤛, I just wanted to thank you for getting back to me on a question I asked a few people but nobody but you answered me back Big Up to you for taking the time out and replying to questions.!!! 👏 It really means a lot to people more than you know. So I took your advice and pulled the trigger on the lift X 33 .. my first mathews, when I am done building it I will send you a few pics with my mathews for TAC & western hunting and my PSE for east coast hunting 🤙

[@TimConnor13]

Right on, I try to help when I can 🤝

[@juliusjames5577]

Mighty nice of you.

[@BespokeCarpentry]

The ol Tijuana TJ. Beautiful man. Just bought a lift about a month ago, now to archery, and had no idea a new bow was coming out. And have had a shitload of top hat tuning issues with my bow, so, I spent Monday violently sick after seeing the bow launch

[@toddwolfe1978]

You should add the new Darton to your list to consider, with their new tuning systems

[@jackbuendgen389]

I have a feeling everyone paying attention is going to be like "oo darton!!... I'm buying a Mathews"

[@adamredden2007]

​@@jackbuendgen389If they're paying attention? I think if they're actually paying attention, it might be the opposite.

[@jackbuendgen389]

@adamredden2007 haha I couldn't tell you. It's like that meme "this is nice. But I like this better". I tried out the sequels last year and they were nice. I'm eager to reshoot them!

[@CalebVernier]

He already did a video on them

[@MultiKtm300]

I bought the Darton Sequel ST2 for my son. It’s fast, quiet, easily tunable and will grow with him without buying modules. It shoots laser beams.

[@SWINGERINTO]

Brother!!! I really appreciate your videos, and love your perspective on things! Keep it going and I can't wait until your the top archery channel!

[@gawgum]

Good to see you back buddy, I started my bow hunting journey the same time as you (I’m 46 though lol) and I really your content along with the other guys of course but if I could ever make it out to the shop I’d like to shoot with you. Keep the good work and yes I think the entire country has taken a deep breath and exhaled lol

[@ValhallaHotBox]

High quality video Tim that was awesome from the goofy look in the mailbox to the business dealing at the end. Hilarious and informative. Not dropping that much cash on a bow holy smokes but I’ll be here as always nerding out on gear and living vicariously every step of the way.

[@Orr_s]

Your videos are hilarious, super knowledgable but yet the sarcastic twist and amazing camera work and editing is just all a top notch….”package”

[@TimConnor13]

Thanks for the compliments on the package

[@Orr_s]

@ ☠️👊🏼

[@robertstebbins1640]

Both Mathews and Hoyt have very exciting offerings this year. The mustache makes you look like Captain Kangaroo. 😄

[@whitetailsup760]

Hey can u buy those limbs and tuning stuff and put on last years bow ?

[@kylehowardOutdoors]

Wow great video man thanks! Also hope MATHEWS continues to make bow tuning more friendly for the consumer that wants to tinker on their own stuff!

[@sdcb27]

$1300 for bow $2200 for all the gear to strap on it if you get it all Mathews. Pretty hard to buy more than one so you have a back up bow.. they should have named it the Mathews Divorce. That's what's going to happen to lot of guys who buy one after their wives find out

[@TheJoeml85]

Just keep your older bow for a back up bow I don’t know anyone that buys 2 brand new bows just for one to be a back up 😂

[@James_Dean35]

Busch light and no turkey bacon, now that’s a pro staff team I could get behind. Great video 🤙🏻

[@ryan.b.maloney]

Your video editing and quality is top notch

[@CMac0517]

" No turkey bacon bullshit!" Freaking truth brother! Love the videos!

[@chris_f_eden]

MFJJ has been in more videos over the last 2 days than anyone else on KZbin

[@Anton-Grim]

😅

[@chrisfavorin1107]

who is the "FNG"? Welcome back Tim! Hope all is good. Glad to see you back to making a video, didnt want Brandon out doing you! NOT that you have to worry, he takes a lot longer between videos!

[@TimConnor13]

Oh yeah brandini! I’ll dust him

[@Bowsonthebrain]

Best review yet !

[@jordang94]

thanks for talking price Tim! straight guy here , you know how many pieces of meat i would put in my mouth for one of Mathews bows lol . i love them so much it hurts inside idk cant explain it !

[@Orr_s]

Can you do the new Darton Sequel with a full setup, tune process and overview pleaseeee!? Also is that new gray color and finish as sick in person as it already looks on video 🔥

[@TimConnor13]

Watch my precious vid

[@davidsimpson3583]

Good video. Liked the paper tuning.

[@josephfolsom2030]

Definitely looking at the Lift X. Especially with that new tuning system. I was going to get a Lift 33, I’m glad I waited, although a foot injury just before hunting season helped with that decision prolonged. You do know that you will become part of the hated group considering your choice. If you doubt that, just go over to Archery Talk and get some hate.

[@Mikesacco1B]

Solid content.

[@T-Mak-s7x]

Tim hired Tom Selleck to do his bow testing. What an amazing Bow. Might as well just give MFJJ the money now. Mathews guys are brilliant.

[@nativehuntinggear5491]

Hey Tim ,Iam an 3D/hunting Archer this system they now have of moving the limb across ,if the base of the limb is fixed and they are only moving the limb from one end that in my way of thinking would twist the limb being moved .just my thoughts .Cheers

[@DarkGuardian94]

Great video, I have a question about the tuning of this bow when it comes to broadheads. Would you still move the rest? Or could you use this system?

[@dislikedsteak]

I am a die Hard mathews fan. But darton blew my socks off. I will be buying a bow that is begging me to work on it at home, and be. Better archer. Darton is almost begging me to be better. The only thing missing from the darton is Mathews integration and mods system with 1/4 adjustment

[@minncrew]

love the video, I feel I'm going to have to look into a new bow soon. The bow I currently have is no longer available and starting to look around. Looks like mathews might be a lead runner now after the changes they made

[@mikeftball44]

Crazy speeds from that Ethos. I love my Ethos but had to use the performance mods to make it same speed at my buddy’s lift both shooting the same axis arrows. We both were mid 290fps at 70lbs 28.5 dl. I might be swapping to the lift x now if I can get my wife on board lol

[@-lovefromnh]

Busch Lattes and a three-way sounds like college days!!! ❤

[@kameronmerrick7078]

How would you compare it to the new Darton?

[@MossyOakFreak]

I hit the like button specifically because of the mustache

[@MikeyWoomer]

I'm anxious to shoot the RS in 70#. I'm a pa bowhunter and I love short ata bows for hunting. I think the RS is one of the most impressive bows Mathews built in awhile. Mainly because of the 2 different limb weights. And to have the tune ability also.. that one bow goes from like Max 40 ish to 80# and from 29-23 ish draw length. With switch weight mods. Wish it had more options for let off and had 1/4" draw length. But over all I think it's gonna be a big hit. I think the 5.5 brace will scare alot of guys. But for out if my climber or blind or my saddle or off the ground? I think the RS will be the best hunting bow in 2025. At least for us guys who hunt timber and Treestands and keep it 40 yards and under 90% of the time. That 5.5 brace will be nice when you need that arrow to get there quick! And bro... hard to take you serious with that mustache!! Haha just jk Timmy good video good vibes

[@richardganz9318]

Is Mathews going to send the new limbs for the lift , if someone has an issue with the lift limbs , the ARC limbs as replacement

[@blessedvetoutdoors]

Shoooweee 😮 35 hundo. I love my lift 33 though. I do think mathews did a really good job this year.

[@brockpeck7073]

700 is crazy for a sight.

[@newteqcreations]

In Australia, it's $1229

[@nathanmccutchen5272]

Especially one assembled with Chinese parts!

[@jeffmann1569]

Looks like Tim’s been eating good lately!

[@cpt_sweettooth]

LOVE YOU BRO!!!

[@relentlessraghorn]

That last call tho 😂

[@the_sharp_carpenter]

Best skits in the bow game,

[@Muskiehunter92]

Hey Tim, Curious what release you are using here. I can't seem to make it out. Thanks

[@bloodlinesarchery]

Love the cut scenes 😂. Be sure you get that real bacon!

[@TimConnor13]

lol thanks my friend !

[@robertculpepper1508]

What’s with the micro edits during the second tuning?

[@travisjames1490]

We appreciates you toos Tim😂

[@blakeharper5324]

Quick question- are you supposed to leave the limb legs on when you shoot or does Mathews recommend you take them off?? Just curious, I’ve never owned a Mathews but I’m seriously considering this bow

[@jbr9433]

Looks good but for me, living in Spain, Lift/Lift X is out of the question. If a limb breaks (which is not so improbable) I would be a long time without a bow... This year I will change from Mathews to Hoyt and see how the better adjustability (DL within an inch and letoff, hard/harder wall is a gimmick) goes. Or maybe Prime...

[@hugochef9885]

Where can I get a 5pin insert for the UltraView Slider as there seems to be in your Vid @1.14

[@jadebrecks]

My hunting style is broke. This bow costs almost as much as my car. :-P One day I will be able to realistically enjoy these bows. Until then I will enjoy the quirky videos! (Negative on the mustache grow a full beard. Just my $.02) I love the fact the move didn't remove you and MFJJ from interacting.

[@thomasjaroszewski3914]

Haha when’s the Party? Beers, Steak, and burgers!!! Let’s do Bows too!

[@DrewHoffs]

Killed me with the TJ 😂

[@sonsofarchery229]

Bro literally tries to ick people out. I freaking love it.

[@jessegillenwater]

Tim C... I'm 21 and you have a better flow and hairline than me. Probably from me buying that full frame lens you recommended. Unfortunately, you won't catch me posting a hatless video on my tube. That would really knock off some twigs and berries

[@ericeverson6822]

Does the 29.5 feel like a longer bow?

[@TimConnor13]

No I don’t think so. But I’d be curious what some stabilizers could do to it

[@ericeverson6822]

@ love your video conntent keep up the good work

[@braydencooney]

The pro staff offers three ways now?!👀

[@kip.k]

3 arrow TJ had me laughing🤣

[@MostlyPeacefulCombatVet]

3 way soon! I’m here for it Tim 😂

[@nophotography]

Is the sight western legal for those that don’t allow lights ?

[@CalebVernier]

Light pops off

[@mattlarson9010]

I haven’t seen anyone address timing on this bow. How do you pull the axles out if needed?

[@johnnewcomb5162]

Is it slower than the RS at 29 inches?

[@jordanpowell228]

Dan just did a video with the rs, it was only a few ft faster. If that's the case I would pass on the rs

[@JoelMartinez-us2ko]

Tim you don’t have to buy all the mods just your own size so that’s not a problem

[@wayneswendsen8310]

I have a thumb nuckle scar to this day from my Halon...MFJJ is not exaggerating

[@ErikMorgan-ue2ud]

Tim is hopping in the Mathews wagon again 😂

[@phoenixphilpot3922]

What thumb button is that ?

[@Gibsonlife573]

I guess you could look at it as it is their own way but it's kind of a spin-off just like apparently Athens did I didn't know that they 100% copied BowTech you know it's on a warm gear in there to move that limb back and forth similar to BowTech moving the cam back and forth which is a great thing it's amazing to see them go this way

[@donovanstockton7081]

You guys are killing me 12 months ago I bought the lift and the UV slider after hearing from you guys that it was the best thing around and now you’re saying I gotta upgrade 😂😂. I’m not even sure the lift is better than the phase 4 I have both and honestly don’t think the lift was that much of an upgrade. I have been told by an archery shop that’s much bigger than Spokane Valley archery tuning a bow with limbs is better left to the professionals so why would we commoners want that?

[@mikefutrell4224]

Stash is kicking. Mathews ought to use you 3 shot TJ as advertisement 😂

[@loganmilesMX]

That letter was legit, frame it! Wonder if you can intergrade the new darton tech into thi$ bow? Hmm come on whos doing hot rod mods on bows? Tim could be!

[@jeffreydavis4029]

You have great cinematography skills. I’m so happy you have decided to waste them on archery videos. Thank you

[@TimConnor13]

What makes you think I won’t do a feature film on this channel 🤝

[@adamredden2007]

I guess my biggest issue is what Josh said on the podcast I listened to yesterday. The bow is finicky to keep timed, and they still haven't integrated a way to do it without a press.....so this limb adjustment doesn't address the biggest tuning issue with the Mathews. Still leaning Darton after 20 years with Mathews. EDIT: ......but my lord is it fast and QUIET

[@RKeaton]

You can adjust timing with the SCS cable - can’t visually see which one you have to adjust like you can on a draw board, but you can do it without a press

[@crthejediknightninja]

4:37 Problems tuning Mathews? Funny, most of the current era mathews my shop works on are almost always close if not on, like I'd say a good 7/10 are pretty on/are tuned with a single shim swap.

[@FlyinFryman]

Simply NOICE 🎉😂😮,,,, lol excellent’e…! Great vid! Lucy Lucy,,, Luvit,, one of yours my favz,,, super sweet, blew my socks and crocs off.. hanging on to my berries lol ohhh and the bow is blazing too!!!! On my wish list,,, once get the bank account up there I’m down lol 😢😂😊 Like my Mathews,,, TRX-to-Lift,X

[@garretthabegger3227]

A real midwestern man needs paid in Busch light!

[@Anton-Grim]

Dude you're pup is adorable !!!! I can't say the same about your stash since you asked 😅 Just kidding !! I'm not one to judge a dude but I've see a lot worse and not a lot better so take it for what it's worth, keep posting vids my man 🎬 , see you soon ✌️

[@danadomnicai6513]

All of them...

[@BrianHYX]

700 big ones for a sight… I got my prime logic ct3 for like half of that on eBay 😂

[@zachniverson8816]

Apparently Chris Bee had a lot to do with the improvements on the slider 2.0 and helped the partnership between Ultraview and Mathews since he's sponsored by them and works with them both.. but the price point for Ultraview products are so out of touch with blue collar guys. It's ridiculous that the sights, a dozen arrows, and a release by Ultraview is about the same price as a NEW MATHEWS BOW. Like WTF! That's absolutely absurd. It almost feels like price gouging. Think I may look into contacting the BBB because that is a thing especially when the price of those sights are double the price of any comparable sight.

[@BrandonJones-cq7yu]

Not how BBB works with price gouging.

[@Gibsonlife573]

I will have to do a 100% hard pass it looks so like floppity when you get into that back wall yeah it might be solid once you get there but when you go through that Valley man it's like it's like the whole entire bow shakes because you drop into it it messes your grip up it can actually you know mess some other stuff up get you off of Target so much but that's what's great about archery is it's to each their own

[@MrMdowell]

Bro, you are silly! 😂😂

[@Doober560]

How about a new Hoyt review?

[@JohnEvans_BowHunter]

Hi Tim . I invented and patented a compound bow that does not have a cable guard. An arrow is nocked the same way an arrow is nocked on any compound bow.. View KZbin video "COMPOUND BOW NO CABLE GUARD". How can I get a review on my technology?

[@kokomo6754]

Mathews learned a lot from Bowtech.

[@richardfiske6311]

I've seen worse tears, from a Triax (repeatedly) for no apparent reason lol.

[@deanbrantley]

Where Mfjj says it rubbed his knuckle every Mathews ive owned sine the Feather Max the paint was rubbed off right there.

[@lawrencefranck9417]

$3500 for a bow kitted out is ridiculous.

A three arrow TJ. If you don't know what it is, you can't afford it! 😂
