We weigh all the bows we review! The goal of the channel is to collect as much objective data as we can so that people can make the best possible choice(s) of equipment for their intended purpose.

Oh man - that is really kind of you to say! We're working hard on the bow reviews to ensure that they're as objective and useful as possible! Glad you enjoyed it.

@ApexArchery keep it consistent and it will cultivate a following. C_Does is an optics reviewer and the evolution of his reviews is a good model to follow. Because he has a script he sticks too he can reference and compare past reviews into his future reviews. Check him out and maybe you will find something useful. Cheers

@@jacobspath4793 Appreciate that tip - I will check it out!

Don't worry - we are releasing about 4 more bow reviews in this longer ATA series, then we are going to do an episode where we compare all the bows based on the objective measures we get! That will be the best way to get the full "data dump" all in one spot!

@@ApexArchery subbed your channel and waiting patiently for that :)

Thank you for the comment! I agree - they are really nice looking bows, and the weight is truly impressive, especially when you consider the riser length. There is a lot to like about the Xpedition line up. I'd also be curious about the feeling of the magnite riser on a warmer day.

Back in the day when bows were magnesium i never heard of a magnesium breaking or cracking but seen a lot of pulled or strip threads for sights and rest mounting. With that said they were solid risers and did not have cut outs in the riser. Time will tell .

@@olehemlock Yes, I totally agree!

Interesting! Personally, I love a 75-80% let off, so the Xpedition came in perfect for me. Very cool to know that you can easily adjust letoff with a slight change to the mod position though.

As a general rule, I am removing the lower stabilizer weights that come with bows such as the PSE, Hoyt, Xpedition and Darton. This is because their primary purpose is as a weight/stabilizer to lower the center of mass of the bow. To be fair and compare bow-to-bow across brands, I would rather see what the realistic system weights are than worry about minimal changes in vibration. The Xlite 33 is the lightest bow we've had on test - but it would not have achieved this honor without removing that lower stabilizer. In my opinion, lower system weight = more bragging rights than less vibration would. This is because vibration is going to be radically reduced by adding accessories to the bows anyway. Actually, of all the lower stabilizers I have seen, I am least convinced that the Xpedition version would do much for vibration. Where some of the other companies are offering versions that mount the actual weight to some rubber/elastomer (which would reduce vibration as the bow seeks to transfer energy to the suspended weight), the Xpedition version is a solid weight wrapped in rubber. I don't think this design will reduce vibration any more than simply adding an equal weight stabilizer.

Really appreciate the info on that! I did think it was odd that there was no published speeds on the website, especially because it's a really nice site.

Yes! I am working to get my hands on an Prime RVX 34 right now! This is easily the most requested bow I've had this year.

Good deal. I will look forward to that review. I have a REVEX 34 and it is a very solid bow. Prime take a bit to get used to with the center grip (which really changes the string angle) but if a person gives a Prime some time, they are among the most shootable bows out there in my experience. @@ApexArchery

PSE Mach 34 with the EC cam review is in editing currently.

It's a fair critique - I would guess they will add in-line sight mounting options in the near future. That said, one of the big selling points is the weight - this thing is coming in nearly a 1/4 lb. lighter than other (already light!) bows on test this year. Overall, I am rooting for these boutique manufacturers, and I think Xpedition has come a long way in the last 2-3 years.

@@ApexArchery I just subscribed to your channel a couple of weeks ago. You do very thorough reviews. Keep up the good work

It’s going to be interesting to see how xpedition builds on this platform. I’ll be buying a new bow in ‘25 and have my eye on this. Hopefully they’ll follow a Mathews style bridge lock rather than pic. To me, it seems like a pic mount still pushes your sight out far from the riser vs a bridge lock.

@@brentbandy3566 Keep in mind that this may not be possible. I believe the Mathews Bridge Lock patent is going to include inter-riser design for conventional and specialized dovetails. Unless Mathews is willing to license it (unlikely) and other companies are willing to pay those licensing fees (driving up the cost of their bow), I think its unlikely to happen.

@@brentbandy3566 Also, we have a video coming out that specifically compares the Xlite 33 and Mathews LIFT, because their riser geometry and cam system are SO similar.
