im shooting a lift 29.5 fully rigged w Mathews overpriced accessories lol…

58#
29”
376gr BE

Bow shoots amazing!
Me too, and I was very much against buying their overpriced accessories, but a fully rigged bow feels like a bare bow in the hand, so I did (I hate QAD rests too)

I could have left with a fully rigged rx8 for the same price when all was said and done, but the lift felt so good when set up and much to my surprise, I liked the draw cycle and back wall on the lift more than the Hoyt, and the Hoyt cam is awesome

I had a new custom mbg sight sitting at home and ended up having to order a dovetail for it, but now it’s all done and I do like the bow, but mathews sure bends you over to use their clever accessories.

I had a bridgelock stab on it but I took it off because it aims better without, and I despise back bars on hunting bows…

The grip feels nice in the hand, but man is it fickle! I’m shooting off the riser with grip tape and like it a lot more. Kinda want to try the UV grip, but it’s stupidly overpriced as well, so I probably won’t

I have not liked a mathews since the chill r, but the lift is a really slick bow. I just hope i don’t have limb issues. I have 60&70# mods and think I will probably just use the 60’s because it draws so dang easy, and I think there is more value to drawing super slow in plain sight vs The extra few fps I get with the extra draw weight.

I don’t know what they did with the lift, but it’s the first switch weight cam I’ve liked.

Like 5 days after I got my bow, 2 people broke into the bow shop I use and stole all of the lifts off the wall, don’t think they have been caught yet (though I’m guessing they didn’t try very hard in this state)

Les took the Mathews Lift out into the field to look for a crusty old whitetail buck last year. Check out his review to see if you should consider this bow for your upcoming hunts.
