I have never owned a Mathews. I typically shoot a bow for many years so after 12 seasons with my Bowtech Sentinel it was time to try some new bows out.
I shot 2 Bowtechs, a Prime and the new V3 Mathews in both lengths

My archery shop suggested I shoot the new Mathews. I’ve never liked a thick grip and that was always my beef about a Mathews. I agreed to shoot them after holding the V31 and was pleasantly surprised how good it felt.

I was shocked at how smooth, quiet, easy aiming and fast it was! I wanted to buy another Bowtech. But I had to admit that the V31 was all around better bow compared to all that I shot. I shoot 27” draw at 65# with a 530 grain, 28” Kinetic. The V31 was actually 64# and was faster than everyone else by 5-10fps.

Les you are spot on with your review! My new Mathews should be in my hands by the end of March. Can’t wait!!!

I shot it with just a rest and sight attached, great bow but that short bow still scares me. I’m trying to like it but if I buy the shop will have to put a quiver and arrows on it So I can see how it feels. The adding stabilizers to a bow to counter balance is absurd.

I posted about how the VXR is way too top heavy for my liking. It would be nice to see the V3 at say 34-35 inches with a 7 inch brace height.

The V3 bare bow was very nice, no comparison on quietness of the shot, vibrstion etc vs the 3 hoyts I shot all at the same time.

If you're a longer draw (29.5+), you should check out the Mathew's Atlas.

I’m 29 on the draw so too short for the Axis. The bow I shoot now is 41 inch bow from Mathews a 2000 era bow.


just crazy how they don’t offer a mid 30s ATA bow for the general population.

I was thinking of a new bow, but I’ll most likely just hold off.

I have always shot a longer bow. So I was surprised how that 31 shot. With that long riser and larger cams. This bow does not feel or shoot like a typical short axel bow. In my opinion I think people will be surprised if they try it.

I donated my 2017 Obsession Hemorrhage to my 15 yo son so I could talk the wife into a new bow this year. I went in thinking I’d buy a Hoyt but after shooting it, it just wasn’t for me. I was disappointed in how it shot and it didn’t meet my expectations so I went back a shot the VXR and the V3 31” and was instantly sold.

I’ve had my V3 for a couple of months now and it’s a shooter. Dang quiet, smooth draw, back wall feels comfortable like I could sit there all day. I have the #75 mods and despite the weight, it’s very smooth and easy to draw. It’s a good looking bow too

I am a 29 draw as well. The V3 27" shoots perfectly for me.

Sweet looking setup

Recent got a V3. Love the bow but hate the factory strings. Just bought some GAS strings. Hopefully they get here soon. The anticipation of how badass this bow is gonna be is killing me.

 

[jingalls]

What don’t you like about the OEM strings?

 

[GNUOY]

I’ve had peep rotation several times. Perhaps it’s just me being picky but I also feel like they aren’t the same quality as some aftermarket strings. I upgraded the strings on my last Hoyt Carbon Defiant and noticed a huge change in consistency and and feel. Just my opinion. The Zebra strings come on Mathews bows for a reason. They aren’t bad just want something different.
