Man, if PSE and Mathews were able to join forces, you might have the ultimate bow. Combine a V3X 33 riser, including bridgelock, centered cable guides and parallel limb design and 6.5" brace height, with a PSE-style riser grip. Then throw on the previous PSE Evolve cam profile, with tweaks from the E2 cam that improve cable side load and efficiency. Whew. That bow would be perfect for western hunting through 3D.

Also, saying this because I am one of those guys who just can't get along with the "jumpy" feeling off the back wall for Mathews. I love the way the PSE Evolve cam draws and holds.

I think the deal with the higher 'weight' bows (including the carbons) these past few years are companies keeping track of these reviews and know they sell bows. Moving weight around the bow to better balance and absorb shock/vibes stripped down like you said. If I strip all the dampeners and stabs off my RX4 Turbo it's a completely different bow in those categories.

Watching that big hump at the end didn’t interest me at all. I shoot Elites so very smooth draw. The shop I was at had one so I thought what the hell.

@@Buran01 he’s saying the “slow” v3x is 97% accurate to its rating at 332/340 and the PSE is 96% accurate to its rating at 335/348. Those numbers are essentially the same, and the V3X would actually be faster. The end of the day it’s all personal preference to feel and everyone has a bias to certain bows. Both bows are fast and awesome, ones designed by one of the greatest shooters in the world and cost almost 2x the other. I will probably be building one of those bows for next season.

It’s weird because i agree that nothing wrong with 335 but that is very far off from advertised 348 IBO. All brands lie about speed. I only say that because the Mathews got 332 on a 340 advertised IBO only 8 feet off and he called that slow even though it was closer to IBO then the PSE. The speed difference between the Mathews 332 and the PSE 335 is negligible! You would never notice that. But he says one is slow and the other is fast.

It may be fast, and light, but hasn't everyone figured out that doesn't make or brake your hunt? A happy medium, a balance, somewhere in the middle....etc. has proven to be the best, most consistent bows on the market. There's a reason why Mathews is probably the highest selling bow in the country and they realistically don't change much year to year, other than fine tuning smoothness. Basically the same cam for many years now. And I'm now a Mathews shooter, but PSE even with Dudley, will never be the quality or consistency of a Mathews or Hoyt, and they want a fortune for that thing. If you haven't figured out you don't need a 3lb bow and 340+ FPS, go ahead and spend away.....just an opinion like everyone else's.
@Buran012 жыл бұрын
Mathews are the best sellers due despite their disadvantages overall they are still a nice bows with the best marketing, and a very good (albeit Apple level expensive) echosystem of accesories. But the three larger brands (Mathews, Hoyt and PSE) are lagging behind others in finish (Prime, Elite, Bowtech and Athens are way ahead) and lately also in tech (no rotating mods in the Mathews is a crime, albeit excusable to certain degree due they at least provide spare parts for decades).
