So you are talking down reflex on this bow but PJ Riley did a video on this bow and it won a 2024 comparison against longer axle to axle bows. There is supposed to be something on the bow that recenters you and/or doesn’t allow you to torque the bow. They were getting good groups at okay distance for a short bow. I’d love you to add in some distance shots to your reviews!!!!

You should start measuring STRING ANGLE at FULL DRAW with all new bow reviews!

wish you gave some points for being the only carbon riser made in AMERICA

Wow these 2024 Bows are awesome. I appreciate you taking the time to do great demonstrations.

That is the quietest bow I have heard shot in a long time!

Thanks for another great detailed review! When they make a 36"+ levitate I will be interested.

Would love to see a 2024 Bow review special. Think of it like a NFL gameday highlight reel. Going over each of the bows specs one at a time. Show FPS and then give the data for each bow. Then Vibrations, etc.

Been waiting for this one ever since I saw that sneak peek!

Smashing out the reviews!

Have you researched limb angle much? You are harsh on reflex but don’t take into account how much forward facing limb angles counter torque. I completely agree longer risers are more stable, but at the same time if it takes a flat beyond parallel limb to get there you loose every ounce of benefit. Hence the reason most target bows have forward facing limb pockets with risers relatively short compared to over all axle to axle.

I've said it before... but gotta love the "Eagle Hardware" yard stick. PRE Lowes here in SpoComton

Man that's one cool garage.

Great review even though I would say that some of your scoring seems to defeat the purpose of "measuring" to see if the bows measurements are according to factory stated specs. If you score based off of your opinion of the specs then why even measure for the specs in the first place? Other than that i enjoyed watching the video. Maybe somethings you can add is how stable the bow feels at full draw, like does it feel like it torques easy or does it feel like it just wants to float, etc. Maybe see how easy it groups at 40yds or so incomparison to other bows. These are just some ideas because at the end of the day, the question we all want to know is, why this bow and is it the one for me according to your thoughts and opinions. We want a practical take away which you somewhat already do, but if you can be more clear and intentional with your conclusion in being consistent with all your conclusion that would be most appreciated by im sure most if not everyone watching.

Hey Brother. I'm with you on this one. If the riser was a couple inches longer, it would definitely balance a little easier. Very nice bow, otherwise.

Josh slow down mate,your going to blow a boiler at this pace,appreciate what your doing.Wish we had a shop that has a 3d bow range included. 👍👍

Great stuff!

I dig these reviews. Any plans for xpedition xlite bows?

This bow destroys Mathew's nonsense of "specific modules provide better performance across all draw lenghts". Mathews uses mods because loves selling 180 spare parts to shops, and that's all...

Looks like a good bow just can’t get over the looks personally

If a bow hits the advertise weight and draw and brace height, and other specs, I don’t see why it wouldn’t get all fives. I don’t care about your opinion anymore than you care about mine, but you are starting to gain a large following I believe because of your truth telling. It would be nice to award bow companies for their truth, whether you like the specs or not. As soon as you start giving marks for opinions more than truth, on the advertised specs you become just another, KZfaq quiver sniffer with a camera. I believe you’re having success on here because of your honesty not just your opinion. So whether you like it or not truth is truth.

This bow looks great. I understand the reflex issue and agree but the weight and speed look great.

What release is that, I would like one with an option to set travel the click I’m hearing before the shot goes off seems ideal

I want one! I love my pse carbon!

I don’t understand all the haters of the reviews. He gives you the numbers so you can decide what’s important to you. The scores are just his opinion of what he likes to see in a bow. I like that I can find an apples to apples comparison of most of the major manufacturers in one place.

Have you checked out PJ Reilly's Outdoor Life review of this bow . Worth a listen

Thank you for doing these reviews.. what I like about your reviews is they are honest you tell it like it is.. and I respect that cause that's a good trait but unfortunately one you don't see much anymore.. lol

I've been shooting PSE carbons for 6 years. I have a short DL so the vibration has never been an issue. Plus, I shoot a lot of stabilizer.

What one would you choose that bowl or the new Hoyt RX8

Nice video! However, why is the 2023 Mach 34 lighter than the 2024 Mach 30?

That's smoking fast on the EC2 cam

Do you have any plans on reviewing Xpedition' Xlite 31 or 33? Would love to see how you'd score it.

Will you be reviewing the Nockon 30? Just curious with the different cams that come with it.

@MFJJ - have you considered doing a ratio of reflex to brace ht? Would that not reflect the net-shootability/torqueness?

That's the slow cam... 😂. Can't wait to get the E2.

Would the other cams you referred to be better?

You can special order it with the S2 cam, I really want to see those speeds.

@podiumarcher what bow scale was that? My H4S is not that consistent...

Pj Riley on the Outdoor Life channel called this bow " The Most Remarkable Bow We've Tested " Right behind the Hoyt RX 8 HBX

What’s the best budget friendly carbon fiber bow that’s pretty light?

How do you give them a 4 for axle to axle and brace height being exactly what is advertised?

I may have missed it, but what was the letoff set at?

The number on vibration right after shot was 6 twice and 8 and jumped when you moved. I’m not saying that because I love pse I shoot a prime but was just noticing that.

You worry way too much about reflex and hand shock.

I wish you would keep a list of scores on each bow and we could see the winner

Needs to be a 5 outta 5 for cost being made in USA!

I find it humorous that the Mathews intentionally attempts to address vibration and with their rubber sandwich limbs, and fail to produce the best results in that category. Thanks for the honest reviews. Ever consider a way to measure riser flex?

I'm currently shooting a Phase 4 33. I'm looking to go more compact. You going with a Lift and switching over accessories or is the extra price of the Mach 30 worth it? Keep hearing how this bow 'floats' on target. Any comment on that?

So "currently" there is only the 34" and 30" MACH, how do you feel an in between size would fair in comparison to this 30"? I don't think I want to go up to a 34" for myself, and hope something in between comes out. Thoughts? (Enjoyed meeting you at the TAC in Colorado last year, "Florida Boys".)

It might get the Hog nod... Shorter axles stay out of the saw grass in the salt marsh. Bow hunters do more than just "Out West" / "tree stand" or saddle. I hunt hogs from the ground on foot. All you do is walk... or wade. The whole time you wish your bow was lighter and shorter. Like a kid on X mas with the Podium Archery reviews. Thanks!

Is there anything majorly different from the 30 to 34? At 6'3" and 30" draw, which would you choose?

Alexa turned on the bedroom light and woke me up at 5:20 AM. I checked and saw that this video was posted two hours ago. I wonder if Alexa knew this video was there and wanted me to see it. He's reviewing at a marathon pace. Wow!

What are all those extra holes for?

What is the significance of having a large reflex?

Only time I wish I didn't live in Australia... we won't see these for funking ages.. love ya work

Do they make left handed bows?

Would you get a 31-32 draw length if the E2 cam was installed?

Is the PSE Mach 30 Carbon Axle to Axle = 30 ???? what important information, we need more such measurements like this in every video)))

So in 18 years bows have only gained close to 15fps? We were shooting 215-225 in the 90's @70lb and 5gpp. I thought more gains would happen in that amount of time.

Hey Josh! I trust your opinion and wanted to ask a question about your review. You made some comments about the extreme reflex on this bow for good reason. But the PSE marketing material makes a point of the “Full Draw Stability” system, and says something about the string angle at full draw on this bow being equal to the string angle of longer ATA bows. I’ve also heard your comments on the fireside chats with Tim about how the exit angle of a string from the cam at full draw contributes to positive or negative shooting characteristics. So two questions: first, is this marketing claim true? Does this bow indeed have a string exit angle, or whatever you call it, that is more desirable than you’d expect from a 30” ATA bow with 3” of reflex? And 2. If so, how are they achieving this? Appreciate your time, thanks! I’m considering this bow really seriously, because surprise surprise, my RX-7 isn’t tuning and I’m tired of the 1990’s , which is where my bow’s tuning system seems to be stuck.🤣

The master

not a carbon bow guy but if I was this is the one I would want I like a 30 inche bow and its fast

What! how can you give them a 4 on brace height if it matched what the specs were? same with riser length ? are you giving points based on what you think or based on how factual what they advertised was? I know this is my personal opinion but i feel if a brace height and ATA match exactly as they advertise it that should be an instant 5 , you cant fault a bow for personal opinions. With that being said i do HIGHLY respect you and very much enjoy your content, thanks for what you do.

Using a whisker biscuit is not giving you an accurate speed. That rest slows the arrow by 2-4fps. I tested this using 2 different bows.

i shot bowtech for years now been shoot hoyt for years-looks to me that bow is the best hunting carbon bow ever made -its light, fast ,low vibe, so very quiet , usa made, hits all the specs and if you get the other fast cam its a 350fps beast it just needs true yokes cant stand that kind of yoke shit

Hey Josh, I'm watching Mike's archery review, and he said reflex of 5.5. What is he measuring to be so different?

Come on, giving a 4 for a 30" length that is 30 inches, giving a 4 for a 6 1/8 brace that is 6 1/8. I thought you were reviewing the bow not what you want!

You're scaring me Josh, every time you draw a bow back like that. You're breaking your number one rule. 😂 jk buddeh

if i could get this in a 34 inch platform , i would like a tiny bit better , but overall nice bow !!!

Heard a 32 is coming soon.

The website shows ibo at 338

@MFJJ Would you be willing to do a review on a brand that's not a top dollar bow? Like obsession or bear someone along those lines? 😅

Grearheads carbon risers are made in the U.S.

i’ll take my carbon one

What do you mean by "torquier"? Not sure what the big deal is on reflex, never really heard of that outside this channel.

Overseas carbon manufacturing is sketchy. Hopefully the bow industry learns from the bike industry and actually QCs their tolerances. Glad to heat that PSE is doing that here in the US.

If it woulda had a Mathews label it would a been best bow Eva. Enjoy the reviews but once the grading starts it's comical. I own a Mathews too.

Bruh, thx for all the cool videos and I know it's super busy with archery season but your work area is trash! Lol get it together

it looks great but why have a carbon bow that weighs the same as an aluminum. Whats the point of the carbon for 1000$ more?

Nice! Bow rated at 338 fps and shooting at 334 so only within 4 fps

PSE "parts scattered everywhere" lol

Pretty mf cool

He bias toward mathews. The vibration ran lower than mathews. Cant take him seriously.

Cool video! The moaning into the mic after the draw is tough to listen to though.

Bow is 30 inches, measured at 30 inches and you you marked it down because you think it should have been made in a longer. Smh. Tell me you’re a PSE hater without telling me you’re a PSE hater.

I like your reviews. However, the BH and ATA were spot on and you still gave 4/5. Come on man!

1900 dollars? Why

Hmm, 0.2lb less and 1fps more than LIFT. Also doesn't go snowpiercer on your fingers in 0F late season sits.

If it ain’t Bowtech it’s Low-tech according to MFJJ

PSE dominates the carbon bow world………

450 with an iron will at 300fps is going to pass through everything, except cybertruck lolol

Heavier and 3" of reflex? Guess I'll buy a used Mach 34 instead.

You said speed was within 6. It was 16 fps

We need a video where you shoot deflexed vs reflexed. I’d bet the bows geared toward hunting you can’t shoot the difference. Some I’d even bet past 60 you won’t even see a big enough difference to justify your incessant need to point out reflex.

$2k for a bow?? It’s all bullshit hype every year. Got a bowtech experience in 2013 all setup for $600 and it still shoots fast and accurate. Would not change it.

Can you do a review on the nock 30

That bow looks like the developer just got real lazy and said the hell with and put two holes in the upper and lower frame and called it day. Ugly.

First lol

Hearing you moan every time you pull bow back in my ear kinda freaks/grosses me out

So a bow is advertised as a 30" ATA bow.. It measures at a 30" ATA... So you give it a 4.. because you dont like short bows. Thats retarded. It gets a 5 of 5 on ATA because it hits the advertised specs. Speed- this is closet to hitting its advertised speed than any other bow tested this year... and thats on MJFF's slow arse chrono... I dont like the reflex either. But are we scoring bows on what they like? Or whether or not they are hitting advertised specs? Josh jumps around like a leap frog- Why try to use specific measurable standards for scoring when you factor in your likes and dislikes into some categories that are supposed to be measurable and graded on accuracy? Why not just tell us your opinion and throw out standards.

Well what do you know another bow with a longer brace and a published speed that is under the MATHEWS LIFT but coming in faster. The MATHEWS fanboy lightest fastest bow ever made is complete BS
