Matthews Lift

Has any one tried or has the New Matthews Lift.

I didn't personally try one but I know the bow shop owner really well. He said that they are nice but they arnt that nice ($$$).

He said that in his opinion the new Hoyt is the nicer bow and that's saying something because he is Matthews guy.

Most years I switch bow brands... Last couple years i have had Hoyt, Bowtech, Pse..... Shot all the new bows for the year and the Lift 33 came home and thats the bow i am shooting for this year.

IMO it was the best shooting bow for ME this year.

It's a great bow. I couldn't resist, got one on order.

My son is an archery nut and he just chose between the Lift and the Bowtech SR350. Said he liked every aspect of the Lift except the grip. Took his sight off the RPM 360 he sold and put it on the SR350 and didnt even have to put a new sight tape on it, distances matched perfectly.

I shot 3 Bowtech bows wanting to pick one up, because they are so tunable. Then I shot the Lift. It was so quiet and dead in the hand, it was a no brainer for me. I also like how everything is so close to the riser on all sides. It will make for a balanced bow. You could say it could be too light. But I believe that will be just personal preference. Mines coming with 80lb mods, so I can shoot arrows at bigboy speeds.

I have a lift 33 with 80 lb mods. Still working on an arrow build so I haven't shot it through the chrono yet. But it is quick, and the draw isn't too different from my V3X with 75 lb mods.

I'll echo what Tank said. Its noticeably lighter, more balanced, and dead in hand than anything i've previously shot (I did not shoot own the phase 4 so cant compare to that).

I shot the Alpha X30, Lift 29.5, Prime RVX 32, all at 80# and the Elite Ethos at 75#. The overall winner was the Alpha. They were all nice and would be happy with either if it came down to it.

I haven’t shot a Lift, but I own a Phase 4 & a Triax. The Phase 4 is very similar to the Lift in design.
I’m going with my nephew to get him outfitted with his first bow this next weekend, so I will definitely be looking over the Lift.

It’s a shooter…Was waiting on a Fade to Black, but with Turkey season coming up and a trip in April…I could wait no longer

Earth and really liking the Black accessories to go with it!

I was in the market for a new bow this year after finally retiring my 21 year old Mathews LX. I shot the Hoyt Alpha, Bowtech, PSE, and Lift. I also shot last year's Hoyt VTM. I loved the way the VTM shot, but all the shop had in stock was the longer one, and I wanted the 31". Found a few I could order online from shops across the country, but wanted to give my business local. That's when I shot the Alpha and the Lift.
To me, the difference between the Alpha and Lift was night and day, in favor of the Lift. Picked up the 29.5 and love it.
