Great vid! We need a comparison between a MID-PRICE bow ($600-$900 bare bow) and a flagship bow!

It's funny, because we always say, "It's the indian, not the arrow." But what happens when both sets of equipment are shot by a world class archer? Theeeeen, it just might be the arrow!

Lot of people get hung up on this. The budget bows these days shoot just as nice as the "flag ships" 20 years ago. Just get what you can afford, and practice with it. Just getting people into the sport is what we need, and letting them know it's not as cost prohibitive as they think helps.

Be interesting to see the mission with a good rest to see the difference between a brisket and a fall away.

If this was with equal sights and equal arrows this would be a gritty versus!!!

Mathews: Chris help us sell these budget bows. Chris: on it!

Chris Bee being stung by a Bee is pure gold. Awesome video.

Very nice video. Yeah - I shoot in the ballpark more or less as good with my Monsterbows Phoenix (leverbow) as with my Hoyt Defiant 30, at least up to 30 m. Haven't tried seriously to shoot the Phoenix at longer distances, because I use it as my 3D bow, with 4 pin sight and the Hoyt I use as my target bow, now that I since January have my Phoenix back. If I should really try to shoot a 50 m round with the Phoenix, I'd have to change the sight between the 2 bows. I use the same arrow rest on the 2 bows (NAP Quiktune 3000 Micro). But the 2 bows - more or less the same scores, with the Phoenix maybe a tad lower scores still at least on target, not so much in 3D, but still improving it. But then the leverbow is not really a budget bow - it's just shorter (at least shorter riser).

Another cool test. I really like that you do all the crazy stuff the "serious" "Professional" archery guys wouldn't do. 👍

I would love to see this video done for a company like bear with their version of a flex ship versus their cheapest bow, which is like a difference of $1000.

Good comparison Chris. As you say, the less expensive bows shoot well and may help to get more people into archery.

Great comparison Chris. It really shows that you do not need to spend thousands of dollars. Its not the bow its the archer

Bee reel catching the real bee hahaha

Gday mate. I enjoy these reviews more than just flagship bows. It proves that a decent archer can still shoot good groups with a basic bow.

I have the mission switch and it's a decent budget bow. That being said, I REALLY want a higher end bow. But it's nice to know that you can still shoot well with a budget bow

been watching your content for a while now, and as a videographer I appreciate your videographer and some of the stylistic shots he takes. Just wanted to give him a little love on what could have been a monotonous video.

Good to see you back to making videos like this

Aye congrats to the winner!🤙 Great video once again Chris

love this video. Really enjoy your content. Keep up the great work.

Great vid bro. I have had good experiences with a budget bow. Miss it actually. Loved my budget Bowtech fuel. Simple but accurate.

They are very close. You would need to do a series of these under different conditions to determine which is better.

No video of the bee attack??? That would be some award winning footage! Good vid as usual.

It would be so awesome to get to go down to New Mexico and hunt with you brotha !

Great Video...I will buy my first bow next year. what would you buy for the first bow: flagship bow with cheaper equipment (sight, rest ...) or a cheaper bow with the most expansive equipment on the market???

Thanks for the content. Just got a budget pawnshop bow Elite Ritual for my first ever bow. All in for Less than $500, only shot 12 today before a work trip and I’m hooked. All on bag from 20yrd but I have not sighted in yet, just shooting to learn technique and form.

Love your content bro please KEEP IT COMING

So what we saw was that a 400$ bow brought the meat home every time and saved you over 2 G's, And the biggest take is practice makes perfect so get out there and fling some sticks. Nice job great vid

Question….how does the Whisker Biscuit handle the 4 fletch? Seems as though the bristle configuration would mess with the fletchings as it passes through.

Pretty sure that we’re I first seen you three thing not to do and subbed ever since haha great vid

Chris I'd like to see you do a review on the dragon X8 from sanlida and get your opinion on it I have that bow and I like it it's my second bow I've ever owned the first bow I owned was a bear lights out

I went from a mission hammer to a phase 4 and the difference is crazy there is a reason the phase 4 cost so much and it helped my shooting a bit

I've had issues trying to shoot while the sun is out heating the ground. I believe the thermals created by the sun affect the arrow flight, then when its behind a cloud the affect is much less. This is not a proven fact, but when I went to a shady spot for the 40 yard dial, all the shots were consistent

I love my mission bow got it when I was about 10 and since I cant afford a new one it still works great hopefully after college can upgrade

Imagine, chris "bee" stung by a bee 😂

Chris bee gets stung by bees 🐝🤣

Good video... love your all your videos I've learned a lot from you already keep it up 👍

You should do a hunt with the hammr that would be awesome

It would be cool to see you make a video killing a deer with the mission this upcoming season.

Love the videos Chris

Would arrow performance be affected trajectory wise against a brush arrow rest vs a cheap fall away arrow rest like a trophy ridge? It’s still on the budget side

Awesome vids man your the best

Thanks for the video chris

Not enough gap for the dollar difference!!!

Great video. I used to shoot a mission and went to an avail when they came out. I love the Mathews products. Does the bee real grip fit the avail? My son just put one on his V3X. Keep up the info coming.

chris bee your my favorite youtuber.

I bought a brand new Mathew’s v3x 33 with everything new on it was about 1800 total at the archery shop shot about 100 arrows and just dident like it and got rid of it. I’m begging to wonder if it just wasent the guy setting the bow up that made it not shoot right. Guess I’ll try hoyt next

Great 👍👍! Video Sir! "it's just amazing! That We can find Such a Beautiful Collector Combination Bow! When You could See the Original Wood Grain, On them,! Built with a Sence of Pride! 👍👍! And the Great Part is it's Fully functional! Just like it was just Made! Replacing the Strings! I would not even Add that to the Cost! Just maintenance! Rember that old saying" You don't have to be the Biggest! Just the Best!". I have the High Country Safari combination Bow! A "40" year old Bow! Just needing Strings! Beautiful! The fun part is Never Sell Old Dependable! If You want a Faster, lighter Bow! Just Buy it! But keep the Collector! People love Seeing them Too! If You are lucky enough to find an Older Combination Bow! Especially af a low price! "Buy it! Because if You leave & come back it's probably Sold! 🤣🤣😂! Oh Yeah! Don't be thinking about the Weight! Especially if you are Hunting!:: even Wild Hogs! If You get One attacking you! You may have to Use that Bow as a Club! 😂😂! That Lighter $2,000 dollars bow probably will be damaged 😂😂! So there's a Reason Why They have the Weight Folks! They built " Antique Bow's too Last! & with Pride & Quality!! I just Love the High Country, Safari, Camo color with Real Wood Grain Grip! You just don't have that will the New Designs 😂😂! But You can still get the same job done 😂😂! Great video Chris! It's Wonderful You're educating The Younger Generation that thinks they Have too Go for that Expensive Bow Up front & They Don't have to! In fact They find a great bow like Yours! They may never want to 😂😂👍👍

Love your videos bro. Learned a lot from them

Probably ought to optimize the stabilizer setup on budget to give optimum comparison

Do you more favor a single pin compared to a multi pin? I’ve shot a multi pin but looking to try to get into a single pin. And see what I’d like more.

Chris....what portable bow vise can I use on the Mathews bows and other beyond parallel bows?

The old range!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!

I’m looking for arrow rest I’m new to archery and my Trophy Ridge broke. I was shooting about 20 shots a day over a month to get some practice in. Now I’m looking at QAD Ultrarest HDX RH Black or a Hemskea Epsilon which is double to $. But as a new archery hunter and not a competitor would I even notice the difference? I’m shooting home grown Canadian APA Mamba M6 if anyone is wondering .. thanks for the feedback

To be a more consistent test both bows should have as close as possible set up. Also were both bows paper tuned before the test? The less variables the better the comparison, but overall a good video.

You should partner with McDonald’s and sell a Chris Bee Chicken Sandwich. Food for thought

What a difference in sound between the 2 bows

I still shoot a bear 2012 legion that I am very happy with. Just changed strings to gas and am having problems with the stings not lining up on the servings to bow SURPRESORS and the cams on bottom. My shop says they will fix it since only been two months. 12:58 Already tried on cams to splice with no luck and when I put string SURPRESORS on really had problems. Glad I bout from a reputable shop. H 12:58 ope they can fix after 12 years just changing strings and don't know what has went wrong

I think his comparison are okay. Too many factors that are different and ultimately can be a big reason one performed better. It’s tedious but here is the list (same bow string, same arrow, same poundage, same (axle to axle) if possible, same sights, more controlled indoor range, same rest) and then I’ll consider these better comparisons of expensive and cheap bows. Tbh for what the cheap bow had, it did very well. But I’ll say, the bare minimum should be same poundage, same arrows, and same rest. That should of been all the same to make a better and more accurate test.

4 fletch out of a biscuit is gonna be all over the place.

Such a staged phonecall lol 😂

Can you do a budget bow build hunt. I built a bow I guess you can call a budget build off your videos. I did the same way you did and I killed a deer doing it but a video would be absolutely amazing. Your fan hunterdan

Thanks for the comparison, Are the cheaper bows out of China as good as a Missiom, How would they stack up ?

It would be interesting to see if you shot the same arrows vs .001 to .006 and the same poundage? Also I haven't watched the entire video yet...

I can clearly see there is no reason to buy a "Mathew's Phase 4" when a budget bow shoots as well. I could hear it in the sound of the arrow release to target. A little longer sound wave on the Hammer but really close. Since Mission is owned by Mathew's and probably built in China, I would like to see a comparison between Diamond, Dragon X8 and Mission. Beans to Beans. Great Video otherwise.

Do a hunt with the budget bow

I like videos like this not everyone can afford a expensive bow

Love the video, are you going to Metropolis for the ASA tournament.

You shoot very well.......👍👍👍

it is the Archer ... thats a fact, for sure is your equipment high level the Archer usually shoots better

great stuff...

I've noticed Chris' left eye is always more closed than his right eye - I wonder if this is because he's constantly closing it bc he's constantly aiming/shooting his bow....?

Hey mate..just got my new bear legend xr..olive..abbey archery in Australia..fantastic customer service..hats off to them..stay safe brother..keep them vids going..🤪👍🇦🇺

Just shot 189 out of 200 today and got 5th place out of 100 and some people with my mission hammr.

With a fall away Rest the Mission were as good as the Phase 4

What binos and harness are you using?

Nice I’m from New Mexico what unit are you guys going to be hunting I also have an archery elk tag as well

Do I see you take the mission hammr into the woods???

Why is the not titled bee real vs real bee

BEEREAL. 😂

Yes stony lake I’ll be that way tomorrow

What sight is on the nicer bow?

I have a hammr, and it is quite the bow for the price.

Thata why I get bear archery bows, affordable and I love single cams.

Accelerated sight and ultraview scope is a budget?

I think the problem on the budget bow is the cheap 🫏 whisker biscuit! Use a better rest and I bet it would’ve done waaay better!

Just sighted in my xr..pretty happy..

Hey Chris, if you see this comment please respond, how can I fix peep rotation? It’s annoying me and I can’t have peep rotation whole hunting.

Could you do a full gear brake down for the 23 whitetail season

What is and where can I get those big of a target?

Trade pink slips to a lucky subscriber who doesn’t own a bow yet

What is a good budget arrow to build

Hey what is the sight that you are using?

What brand are those targets?

Love how your showing people that you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars to get into archery

What target back stop is that

Not spending much money. Gamechanger

Everythings about mathews 🤭🤭🤭

Trx 40 vs trx 38?????

The flagship bow is better!...well just shush that the budget bow scored higher lol

I have a mission ballistic thaat i paid $350 for and it shoots great!
