Vertix or New Lift X 29.5

[lsummey]

I have a Mathews Vertix Now and Looking to upgrade to the Lift X 29.5. I shot the new Lift X and it did not seem to shoot any better than my vertix.... I Love that the Lift X is Lighter and Intergrations and easy Tuneability is better but I'm looking for a lighter Mathews Bow. Maybe I have already answered my own ? lol. Maybe get some different opinions on Vertix vs Lift X 29.5.

Had a vertix and went to the V3X when it came out and couldnt be happier.
But everyone is different

If you shot both side by side and didn’t think there was much difference, you answered the question. Now, if you want a new bow with some new technology, pull the trigger.

I don’t think you could shoot those two bows side by side and not instantly realize the differences between the two.

LMAO Well other than one is lighter than the other and the Vertix is Faster..... Sorry Buddy your mind is playing trix on you if you think that there that far apart from each other.

I’ve had both Vertix is a great bow. I do feel the weight of the lift and the tunability is an upgrade. It’s up to you if you’re ready to upgrade. I don’t think for me one shot better than the other.

No. Not at all. The speed is insignificant. The major difference is not only weight but the Lift is NOWHERE NEAR as top heavy as the Vertix. That to me would be reason alone to buy.

Seems to me the whole weight stack on the back bar for a hunting bow trend kicked into high gear with the Halon series. Halon, Halon 32, Triax, Vertix, VXR, were ridiculously top heavy. The difference is significant even between the Traverse and Lift 33.

But, I actually shoot the bows so whatever…buddy.

For one, according to ibo ratings, the vertix is not faster. 343 vs 348. Secondly, you clearly already have your mind made up. Stick w your Vertix and be happy w it

I agree, finally I got a cool commonsense answer. Thank you Sir! I am going to upgrade and still keep the Vertix!

So for transparency, I haven't shot the vertix. But I owned a V3X and I believe it was the same cam as the Vertix. To me there was a difference in the draw between the V3X (add vertix and whatever else used the SW cam) and the Lift X. Not much, but it was a little less dump into the valley on the Lift x. The weight is different for sure on the Lift X compared to the Vertix.

If you shoot them both the same, then I guess it comes down to how much you value the weight savings and the tuning/integration features? I have a bow press and tune at home so for me I value the ability to tune easily. The top hat system on the vertix, v3x, phase 4, ect...is easy, but needs a press and lacks the micro tune options that was notorious with the preset Top hat distances.

YES! I agree the weight being 1/2 lbs lighter is huge for me and I also have an EZ press at home to tune all my older bows etc. I am going to pick up a Lift X 29.5! Thanks for your Input and response!!
