Mathew’s vs. elite

[Derek mannens]

I have an elite terrain 2023 and it’s a great bow however I am a big podcast listener and everyone is speaking very highly about the new Mathew’s lift x
I’m an elite guy through n through… is there anyone out there that has shot elites and has switched over to Mathew’s?
Or for the Mathew’s guys what are your thoughts likes and dislikes about the new lift x?

I have owned many Elites and many Mathews bows. So as to “switched over”, no. Even though a couple of my Mathew’s bows are on my list of top 20, namely the Traverse and the V3X 33, as to each company’s whole lineup, in my opinion and based on my personal preferences, Mathews does not hold a candle to Elite. I am aware that I am in the minority there. As to the Lift, I can’t and won’t comment as I have not personally fired one.

The Lift X 29.5 and 33 are really good bows and even a decent value when compared to some of the newer carbon and magnesium riser bows. In about two week, Mathews will be releasing their 2026 hunting bows with what appears to be new sizes (31 and 34).

That said, it's best not to become an "X-brand" guy. Just shoot as many bow brands as you can and pick the one you like best. We are in a golden age of compound bows. We have really great options from Mathews, Hoyt, Bowtech, PSE, Elite, Prime, Darton, Bear, etc,

I shot Mathews for awhile, then bought an elite. I have 3 Elites now and 0 Mathews. Check out the enkore as well it’s a great bow.

Remember to sift through the podcasts and figure out which ones are getting paid to speak highly.

Not saying they’re a bad bow, just lots of paid reviews and praise anymore.

I have had both Mathew’s and elite and like both brands. No doubt Mathew’s has to have the highest marketing budget of all brands. This summer my cousin was in the market for a new bow I went with to the bow shop he was fairly certain he was buying a lift x 33 we walked around and he asked about an elite I told him y I liked them so he shot both and ended up walking out with the elite. Moral of the story most all compounds are pretty dang good these days and the power of Mathew’s marketing is real.

If Mathew’s sent me a bow every year and selling them was or is how I paid my bills I might shoot one in private ….
