One thing I really appreciate about your videos is how candid and transparent you are. I don’t like other peoples videos because it just seems like they’re being paid to say things rather than be honest with their experience. Thank you for that.

Thanks for your insight on the bow. Great job as always,

Best shooting I have ever seen you shot. Love my 27

I love your reviews 👍🏻

I like when you get giddy about putting arrows in the middle....it's easy to see you love to shoot.

Another spot on review that’s why I watch all your reviews 😁 I’ve got the Mathews vxr and the only thing I can really complain about is the draw cycle I had a elite tempo before the Mathews and the draw cycle was worlds better but the after shot Mathews can’t be beat

I can't remember, when You shoot so many arrows with bow You reviewing Steven as this time, It looked like, this one from Mathews gave You very much fun ;) This grip looks a lot similiar to my factory grip on Halon X-Comp, and it is really difficult to use to it, for me because it's roundness. Now waiting for Shrewd M.A.G., maybe it'll change something. Thanx for your vids :)

Looks like an awesome bow, 🎯🎯🎯

The module system Mathews uses is the only system that allows you to shoot your bow from 60-75 pounds. With 75 80 85 % let off. All while keeping your limbs bottomed out which is what keeps your bow performing at peak efficiency. I really hope they never go to rotating mod system.

You’d love the V3x 33, it holds like a target bow similar riser length as the trx38

Just picked up the 2022 V3X 29, the after shot is amazing, so far very content....

I really enjoy your reviews Steven. I own two of the 27’s, a VXR 28, V3X 29 and still own my Traverse. Switchweight mods adjust draw length AND draw weight plus they still use the same top hats. It sure seems like you are starting to adjust to the draw cycle quickly. As you already know, once your muscle memory takes over on a particular draw cycle it just gets to be a non-issue. Too many people DON’T buy a bow just based on a couple of shots at a pro shop and that’s too bad cuz they are missing out by just not giving it enough arrows. If you think the 27 is dead in the hand, shoot the VXR 28!!!

This is such an ultra-short bow, but for hunting, perhaps suits many ! I'm shooting a Mathews TRX36 at present for target archery & it's such a great bow in so many respects. Didn't concern me re module swaps to alter draw length, as mine is spot on, but as you say Steven, rotating mods would sure make life easier for you retailers.

I have a v3 27. It fits me perfectly. I have a short draw length and hunt out of blinds. Awesome bow!

Do you think the v3 27 is better suited for a person with a shorter draw length?

The modules work across bows.

What is it that causes that wiggle left to right? I shoot a bowtech btx 28 and I get that every once in a while just not sure what it is or if it's something I can work on?

Steven you ever did a bow review on Mathews switchback singles cam

So I had the 27. First bow. Decked out. Sold it. Never derailed. But I could tell the peep was messing my anchor up. Had I been shooting for years I know it would been fine but maybe on down the road. Now the dreaded "bounce" I feel like that bounce is coming from trying to find that high anchor to find the peep. I'm sure practicing would fix it buy I did notice it. Loved the bow itself though. I have a x29 I got to pick up today. I'm a 28 inch Draw. So the 29 should put my peep a bit better. I strictly saddle and stand hunt and I'm 5'10 130lbs. Small dude. I can feel everything

Good Job

Thanks!

I shoot the v3-31 its epic. I think the extra length negates all the issues with the 27. I would love to see you shoot it.

Similar to my Vertix you reviewed! I didn’t love the draw at first but now I love it. I am going to say the PSE NXT 33 is much smoother of a draw. Love my Vertix and PSE. I have the issue with my Vertix 30” ata they had to bring my peep to the speed knock and didn’t tie in the top, but bottom and over the peep. My dads VXR 31.5 same draw length is 10x better

I shoot a v3 31 and in order to get rid of that wobble I have 5oz on a 15” front bar. If you get the 80% modules for it the. It helps.

I had the exact same bow. It’s true it can be easily derailed if you don’t grip it the correct way. Luckily I’ve been shooting compounds for a number of years and know how to grip it correctly. Never had a problem with mine and shot lovely It’s definitely a bow however not to buy if you’re new to the sport

I love my v3 27. I have a 26” draw length and no problem with my peep. I only started shooting in 2019, so I’m not sure about the assumption that it’s not a good bow for a beginner. 😉. I shot an avail for a year and a half, but my daughter is now shooting that… I wanted a higher draw weight and may have accidentally shot the v3 when I went in to a shop to talk about the cost of swapping the limbs on my avail last February and ended up addicted to it. 🤣

Will that stand fit a halon x comp stephen

With the issues you described with selling this bow I can see where you are coming from. Although I'm not much of a compound archer, those Mathews V3's and VXR's are a nice bit of kit. I realize that you own shop and trying to make a profit. However, if you purchased it for a good price perhaps you could just add it to your collection. I think I would just take that one home especially since its never been used.

If you wound that bow down 4 turns. It isn't 60lb. It is about 55 to 58lb.

I love mathews bows

Av you seen the Athens vista 31 stev it's very good

The mods work on everything from the vertix on up to the new v3x. Same mods, so they are not bow specific. So do the tophats for shimming.

I've never understood why matthews didn't have a rotating module like most other manufacturers BUT offer various modules with different poundages. That makes more sense. Draw length changes a lot, but most hunting bows are #70, so sell them at #70 and offer other poundage modules for people who need #60 or #80 etc (rather than selling different poundage limbs).

New for 2021

I’ve tried to purchase left hand Mathews, no one has em.

What price you want?

I have a V-3 at just under 80 lbs AND LOVE IT!!! my other two bows are bowtech's SR 6 and a BTX both on COMP mode the V 3 is very nice to shoot I find it strange that your buddy derailed the bow ??? He must be torqueing the S*%$T out of the grip ! I have never had that problem yes you can over grip it but not to derail it I do forget to put a stabilizer on it often it that dead in the hand I'm shooting a 378 gr Gold tip hunter Pro and I haven't chronoed it but i'm sure it's quick and PACKS A HELL OF A PUNCH I have noticed at 80 lbs it DOES NOT LIKE ANY DAMAGE AT ALL in nocks any or even think that there's damage change it or it will blow the nock up The only draw back is that the Zebra Strings are not good they will stretch quite a bit The bow is one of the best I have shot

Short bows CAN shoot too folks !

2021 released.

18:01 Exactly what my VXR 28 does at full Draw with the Stock grip & without a Grip, i had to Get a Custom fat Grip & that solved the issue, but i had to buy a mod to increase my DL However, i still Prefer my Cheap PSE Stinger max, i'm MUCH More Accurate with it

Fyi I'm shooting a V331 at current

Hi I just got brand new vertix from mathews for my birthday is the v329 alot better bow then the vertix

The 33 is even better

Half inch shorter draw length would be great

4 turns out is poor for a v3 performance wise. U need 60# SW mod instead. Mathews works best at peak dw, just gotta switch weight the mods😉

On time Stive, on time...

I test shot this bow thinking since my short draw (27.5) , it would be great . Shot ok , didn’t like the draw . Each shot was never the same ? I figured it was because of the short axle length. Ended up choosing the PSE EVO NXT 33. Totally love it . But I guess it’s like buying a new truck , some people like Ford , some people like Toyota . Whatever works for you !

Get some 60# mods and crank those limb bolts back to max and see what you think

I reckon a lot of derailing happens due to people who turn their bow slightly to the side when shooting and they learn this habit being self taught using stick bows etc. Pretty sure they don't realise a compound should be shot on the vertical.

Mathews, hoyts .. seem to have this whole owner attitude like its a Harley . They have to wear all the branded gear and only hang around other mathews owners at shoots . Would not own one because it . and the modules

since youve lost mathews, should replace it with oneida bows.

As someone who owns and shoots Mathews this has to be one of the worst bows they’ve made. Every Mathews bow I’ve owned or shot the grip was absolute GARBAGE. But this 27ATA is just absurd. You pretty much have to have a 25” draw length to be able to shoot it comfortably. Have the V3X and two biggest things I hate is the yoke system they use and the grip. Ended up getting a Hoyt Ventum Pro and love it! Enjoy your videos!

Paranoid as hell

The REAL reason you lost the Mathews Dealership was because you did a review where you tried to compare a Mathews bow to a cheap Chinese bow…..That got you unstuck & Mathews severed all dealings with you after that.

Hell sell it to someone who knows how to shot simple as that

Any body that would do that is a piece of poop man that's Nuys they just give them there money back I'm so scared of buying of ebay

maybe next time you'll take the bowstand off the lower limb too lol :D

I hated this bow. The draw was flipping terrible.
