The new 2 piece quiver is extremely stable and hosts a sturdier foam insert at the top of the quiver. I originally intended to but another tight spot quiver to match the new Mathews V3 until I realized Mathews released their own quiver. The quiver that I had on my Mach 1 was a matching Kuiu Verde Tight Spot which I sold with the bow. For the accessories, I migrated my CBE Engage Hybrid 5 pin sight and Torrex stabilizer. I couldn’t be happier with my bows performance. With a 27 inch draw and the limbs maxed out, I am currently pulling 79lbs and shooting a blazing 300fps using the Victory Archery VAP TKO arrows. After selecting ambush green as my color I opted for the 75lb mods on my new Mathews V3 27. No reason in particular other than just because I wanted to. This bow can be decked out any way you want! I’ve always personally wanted to shoot an 80lb bow. From a custom build portal over at the Mathews website to a fully stocked arsenal of accessories. The new Mathews V3 system is littered with options. With Mathew's new two-piece quiver, shooting micro diameter arrows, sight housings made of minimal aircraft aluminum, weight is becoming less and less of an issue for us bowhunters. Clunkier sight housings, quivers that were not carbon fiber are all things of the past. As the weight of the bow has evolved so have our accessories. This makes holding the bow at full draw much less of an effort. But, the newly redesigned riser features an extended position on the lower end that really delivers balance to the overall setup. Fast forward to today where now the Mathews V3 comes in at a weight of 4.29lbs versus the Triax that introduced me to the Mathews brand which weighed 4.4lbs. I could not even fathom (at the time) holding that bow out in front of me for an extended period trying to keep a steady hand on a target while maintaining this beast of a bow out in front of me. I remember comparing the two bows and feeling how heavy the Triax was, to the point of me swearing off the Mathews brand completely. At the time I was shooting a 2018 PSE Drive X, Jake was shooting a 2018 Mathews Triax. In 2019 Jake and I had both drawn early archery bull elk tags. I’m not left trying to torque the bow left or right at full draw, it simply falls into place. I feel more in control as the bow sits perfectly into the valley between my thumb and pointer finger. This bow just sits better in my hand than other previous bow brands. Another design element that I believe has affected my accuracy on a positive note is the grip design. Coupling these two things together has no doubt made me a better, more accurate archer. Simultaneously while I switched bow brands I also went to shooting a Carter “too simple” thumb release instead of a trigger release. In terms of accuracy for the Mathews V3, I strongly attribute that to the dead in hand, zero vibration that you receive from the bow’s design. Now I realize this is probably a coincidence and not all bows will do this, but it was pretty cool nonetheless. To my surprise, almost all of the pins were dead on for each of their yardages. After taking the bow home I hit the range assuming I would need to do a full sight in. Arizona Archery Club did the general setup and tuning to the bow and got the bow on paper at 20 yards. In fact, after I had sold my PSE Mach 1 I migrated my CBE Engage 5 pin hybrid sight to my new Mathews V3. Those who don't shoot their hunting bows through chronographs on a regular basis might be surprised by that number, since it's so much lower than advertised IBO speeds.Right out of the gate this bow was extremely accurate for me. With a 6-inch brace height, 29-inch draw length, 60-pound draw weight and 420-grain hunting arrow, my HALON 32 clocked in at 275 fps on my Easton Pro Chronograph, which translates to 70.55 foot-pounds of kinetic energy. Again, this sounds complicated, but it just means that the rounded portions of the cams mimic enough of the original NO CAM design to create a very smooth feel while still generating excellent speed. Although this sounds complicated, it really just means that the wheels rotate at varying distances from the axles during the draw cycle in such a way as to maximize stored energy and system efficiency.įinally, the draw cycle on the HALON 32 employs a partially concentric payout. The CROSSCENTRIC system eliminates that torque by splitting the load on the cables evenly on the left and right sides of the top and bottom cams.Īnother significant benefit of the yoke wheels in the CROSSCENTRIC system is that they employ advanced vectoring. This not only makes it difficult to maintain proper aim on target but also erodes accuracy because the cams introduce sideways oscillation to string.
