As a retired veteran, I just wanted to thank you for what you do for my fellow vets!

I'm running the SS34, so I was pulling for that to take the #1 spot, but Hoyt is for sure a shooter. The speed is definitely an advantage over BT SS34, without the sacrifice on draw cyzle...Great review Keep up the solid work!

Agree 100% with your review Hoyt and Elite for 2023

Love seeing our hat again! 🔥🔥 Great video as always. Awesome to see an in-use comparison of the latest bows 👍 keep up the great work! 🙂

That's why I moved to bowtech 5 years ago. It's just the smoothest bow. Most ppl hunting aren't looking for the fastest. I mean tons of ppl shoot recurve and kill deer. You don't need to be fast, you need to be Accurate and quiet.

Nice review and comparison. Personally, the adjustability and tunability are extremely important to me and should have been given more merit. Keep up the good work!

As someone who wants to get a really nice beginner bow, do their more entry level models correlate to their flagship models?

When you have to grunt to get it into the valley like that Darton.. no bueno. Bow technology has come so far you shouldn't have to deal with that on new bows at 70 or even 80. I've been following your channel for years now and when you and your partner (can't recall his name) started, it was just like some kids testing bows. It's a 1000% improvement. Your reviews are my favorite on youtube now. You def deserve more subs. I almost walked out of the bow shop with an SS34/350 this year. That draw is butter, but I guess you do sacrifice speed.. it is what it is. I actually rated the SS34 the best for 2023 after shooting all the new brands extensively at my LBS and I'm a longtime Hoyt and PSE fan.

Can't believe that, in 2023, people are still stuck on, and chasing speed? Pretty much every compound bow brand have been hitting speeds high enough to get the job done for like a decade now. I think this insane speed war has caused people to lose sight on what's most important for a bow. It's accuracy dummies! Actually 1st Comfort 2nd Accuracy 3rd Consistency 4th Speed I put comfort first, because if your not comfortable with the bows feel and weight and grip and draw, then your never going to make it through the rest of the list.

And now for 2024 new bows Mathews has the new Lift 33 which is blowing them all out of the water.

I went and shot one a month ago and ordered one, it’s suppose to be in the shop next week! But you know what’s gonna make that hoyt vtm better? Me shooting it while wearing that bow hunting shirt with the Haxen flag in the background! 🤙🏻💪🏻

Come on...I love Hoyt grips so much, wide and soft I feel Hoyt has the best grip, both on recurve and compound (I have both and I absolutely love them) Plus Hoyt products are very durable. I dry fired my recurve twice plus dumped well over 5000 shots, the limbs still perform like new. The 80lb VTM doesn't draw like 80lb at all. It's more like 50lb for me. Extremely smooth and I draw effortlessly.

What is the let off on each bow and what mods, like performance or smooth (comfort on Bowtech )?

Great comparison

Good opinion piece.....

Elite also has quarter inch increments in draw adjustment too.

As a veteran I want to thank you and is the chance to win a bow still going on? I’m really wanting to get back into bow hunting I’ve been a die hard bow hunter for 20 years but lost everything during my divorce after the war

Why did you grab the slower Mathews but the faster Hoyt?

were the draw weights checked before the speed tests to make sure they're all 70#?

Do you have the Elite with Smooth or Performance Mods ?

The elite Omni’s speed didn’t match my test. It was one of the fastest bow I shot!

To me I like the elite and hoyt

In my area you’ll see more mathews or elite dealers than most others.

Elite kinda looks like a prime bow

The VTM was the fastest? I’m a Hoyt fanboy and I wasn’t expecting that

Don't the arrows gain speed with distance?

Soooooo I’m a veteran

Wow that bowtech is slow

Hoyt homer chooses Hoyt. Hmmmm

Mathews easily makes the best bows on the market

Haxon the the Mathews hater

In no particular order... 1. Mathews 2. Mathews 3. Mathews 4. Mathews 5. Mathews

It is all opinion and nothing about hitting the target, which is the important point.

The obvious winner wasnt even in the shoot out..no need to compare. PSE wins gold

Over the past 30 months I have been fortunate to own and shoot the following bows: V3 31 V3 27 V3X 29 V3X 33 Phase 4 33 Image Ventum 33 Ventum 33 Pro VTM 34 RX-7 Ultra Prime Black 3 Prime Black 5 Prime Inline 3 Prime Inline 1 Prime REVEX 4 Bowtech Solution SS Bowtech SS34 I know, that is a lot of bows, but legit I have owned all of those and shot them and sold most of them in Ebay or traded them at my local shop. The Bowtech SS34 is EASILY the best bow of this group and 2nd place is a distant second and that would be the V3X 33. I know, it is totally personal and different for all. I just wanted to share that as someone who has had a chance to really shoot a lot of bows - the SS34 is just incredible. Pros - smoothest draw with no competition, zero shock or vibe, Deadlock system is light years ahead of all other cam lean systems, solid velocity, very forgiving, highly accurate if you do your part, excellent and highly repeatable grip. Cons - crappy factory strings (serving separation on cables in less than 50 shots), no decent 2-piece quiver options, no integrated sight option. Thanks!

All you’re doing is giving your super biased opinion. Mathew’s makes some of it not the best bows on the market. Every video you make you just talk shit about Mathew’s and it’s exhausting.

Your scores on the Mathew’s easily destroys any credibility you have. I have shot the bowtech ss34 and it’s junk. I have shot both the Mathew’s phase 4 and the vtm. If you think the vtm has any better draw cycle or settles better than the phase four, you’ve lost your mind lol.
