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.
 
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.

Has any one tried or has the New Matthews Lift.

So I finally got my Lift a month ago. I didn't buy a stabilizer, and I am not sure if I will add one. I did put a Bee Real 2.0 on, and I did not have one on my old Halon. I instantly noticed that even my +65yrd groups were consistently half the size of my previous bow.
I found that without the stabilizer, my groups were still tight, but did have more vertical variances.
I'm not sure if the Lift is that good, or if the new grip is reducing my torque. I'm still the same trigger puncher I have always been, but this bow has made a difference. I'm curious about what others experience has been?

I’m shooting my Lift way better than I was shooting my V3. Something about it makes it much easier to shoot for me personally.
 
Shooting mine better then my past Hoyt Carbon bows for sure.
The stabilizer made mine even better but if you don't need it then don't add the weight. IMHO.
 
I switched from a RX1 Hoyt to the 29.5 Lift. I currently have 75lbs mods on it. Love the bow so far, I may go back to the 70 lbs mods as I think it was a little smoother.
 
I've been a hoyt guy all my life and wanted to upgrade this year. I shot the hoyt RX8 and the lift. My experience was the draw cycle is a lot smoother on the Hoyt and I liked the grip better. The Lift was dead in hand and noticeably quieter. I ended up going with the LIFT and I'm very happy with it. I think it really just depends on personal preference...I shot them both a lot at the shop and had a hard time deciding.
