I told my wife the exact same thing!.. She looked at me like I was crazy because we live in AZ...but said I could 👍🏼😂

@@michaelabercrombie5744 Missouri so a pretty decent trip for me as well lol. None of the shops around here take the time and set the bows up properly like he does.

Same here. Bought the atlas because of my 31" draw, no complaints, but this v3x 33 is tempting.

Addicted to Archery....I too owned a Traverse, and I too, was wondering the same you were inquiring about. So....I went to my local shop and shot the V3X in 33" ATA and here's what I got out of it. I used a wrist strap type release b/c I hadn't yet started my journey into handheld thumb button releases. Anyways, both were very very similar in the noise department....whisper quiet. Far as recoil, Traverse had a bit less, but not much. The biggest difference TO ME was draw cycle....and it, even though most notable, wasn't much. The V3X had a bit better draw cycle, but not enough to trade the Traverse off for one. That being said, had someone offered me a deal I couldn't turn down, then yes...V3X.

Speed wise they were within 3-5 fps of one another.

One last thing that's definitely, IMHO, giving the V3X the nod over the Traverse is the switch weight technology, "built in" machined into the riser places "in-line" for sites,quiver,& rest. And the SAS stay afield system.

the standard fudge factor that is forgivable to most is around 5 fps, but they do shoot bareshafts when rating and most folks on youtube use vanes i back calculated the ibo on my bowtech revolt by weighing everything, etc. and it was 320 fps ibo on comfort. it is rated at 335 fps on performance mode, which typically adds 10 fps. so, i consider that close enough that i don't have buyer's remorse yet.

People don't typically understand what IBO actually is. IBO standard speed spec is based on 80# (+/-2) Draw with 400 grain arrow with no specific draw length. Therefore, a manufacturer can crank it to 82# @ 33" draw, and record that speed. Its very misleading. ATA actually is closer to what we are used to, the typical 70# 30"/350. But there is no governing body really for either, so they can fudge their numbers as much as they want.

@@aldoraine9259 interesting. That makes more sense. Thanks for the information.

@@win300mag1 sure thing. Glad to help. Plus also consider that Manufacturers post IBO rather than ATA because the way IBO is set up, they can naturally get higher numbers, therefore this becomes a marketing gimic. This is why none of us can ever hit these stated speeds claimed by them.

We need a third party source that these manufacturers have to go through for speed testing so we can get honest numbers

But they removed Stone, which tastes aside had a better, less rough finish. I was this morning in a competition in which was 5 Mathews (a blue Conquest 4, two TRX 40, one TRX 38 and one TRX 36) and all the TRX were Stone, and for a good reason (dark gray matte shade which looks almost black under some light and smooth finish).

@@Buran01 I have a Stone that use for 3D and that’s the only thing I don’t like. It’s too close to black. Personally I REALLY dislike black bows.

@@drested1793 Well, seems that is more expensive to paint in Stone than in Granite or Ambush Green, so they removed it. I also don't understand why they are calling "granite" (which usually denotes a grey/white/blush rock) a color which si more like a military tan shade.

good point with the whisker biscuit...would be in order of 5 fps at this speed range...

@@WM-jy9dz Won't make you loss more than 2 fps, 3 if is a really bad one with frozen hairs in the middle of a storm...

Stone is gone

I’d shoot them all and pick which one feels the best at your draw length etc. I went and shot the ventum pro 30 up against the V3X 29 and the V3X 33 and honestly that ventum pro had slightly less vibration after the shot and the draw cycle seemed barely smoother. My draw is 28.5 which I’m not sure if it makes a difference. I’m debating on which one I want to go with, they’re both awesome bows!

I’m a huge elite fan but Most of the envy’s were 335-337ibo bows. You sound like postalrandy on archerytalk.

@@archer3181 Slowest Envy I ever came across was 342-343. Some were over ibo. Most of us Envy guys know or know of eachother as we swap or sell eachother parts and only about 330ish were made.

Haaha same i have the dovetail mount and knob with my black gold wondered if it would fit, i would think so but not sure. Id use a set screw not the knob of course, prob wouldn’t clear anyway

No it does not fit

@@joshjones6862 well thats disappointing lmao would you recommend not using a hamskea with this bow since its not the integrate style mount? Or shouldnt matter unless you want to use their new quivers..which honestly do look slick

@Aucustia yeah i usually take my quiver off anyway i dont usually spot and stalk im only a whitetail hunter at this point of my life

@Aucustia whats your draw length? Im at 30” and really want a longer ATA than ive been using and was prob thinking id either go 70 limbs with 80% mods or the 75limbs with 85% mods. My Rx-1 has 80# limbs now but very aggressive cams and draw cycle. 75 on these would prob feel like drawing my rx1 back at 80

I cannot comment on weather thats true or not

🤞🏻thanks. Keep up the great videos.

Fps

Seriously. That bow has been out for a month, and aside from Lancaster there are no reviews. Can't believe this shop has one and hasn't released a review video.

He said it would have to be an integrate style rest for the quiver to work with it.

@@-lovefromnh i heard him say the dovetail Sight not the rest

@@MikeyWoomer he said the sight and the rest.

@@-lovefromnh right on.. i just didn't hear him

I watched one by elk fit and he had a Hamskea on his V3X but I don’t remember if he had the quiver on it

lol

That’s the min not max

posting tonight!

@@podiumarcher3447 Will I be able to use the same 30.5” DL A mods for this bow that I use on my v3 31? Or will the DL be different?

I can assure you they did not try it. I know their video says they did but I just got done machining down the original dovetail black gold to make it fit. They only offer 2 options and neither fit. Think lancaster does a great job but they overlooked that 1 part

@@joshjones6862 thanks for clarifying that. I wish people wouldn’t claim things like that. How was I to know they didn’t physically try to install it? MFJJ is still the baddest MFer when it comes to breakdowns. Get rid of that stupid biscuit!! Lol

haha fanboy blabla 🤣😆

@@ochiAUT fuck no, just fair boy. I have pse xpedite and axius ultra 80#

Helix ultra. Yep faster.

@@joshsinglefooter i have axius ultra now, otherwise ventum 33 with 29" Mode so faster than 30" in real world haha mathews is stiff as fuck. Ive try 70#(73real weight) mode and was worst than my 82# axius

@@stasiekspasiek7250 ok I'm 32" and 80lbs. I love my draw cycle. I'm hoping hoyt rx7 is a good one. Or the aluminum bow is a 32" draw this year. I want to get away for the old yoke tuning thing.
