2023 Mathews Bow Release - Phase 4 and Imagine

[spread5150]

I need a built in green or red (interchangeable) light. One that has the LEDS in the riser. The stabilizer doesn’t matter to me because I’m sticking a pig light in there anyways.

New limb design as well.

Ahh gotcha. Missed that

I think the platform of the V3X and Phase 4 now are great. I think the longer riser was a good idea. The bridge lock, switch weight/draw length mods are cool, but stinks when you need ones you don't have. In my opinion Mathews is just behind on the tuning areas and let off adjustments. It's really nice on say the Elite that you don't need a press for those things.

Just shot the P4 33 great bow feels lighter for sure. Of course it didn’t have my Hogg father sight on it either but definitely felt lighter no vibration at all and definitely a better draw cycle then the Vx3 29 ! The grid lock stab is cool looking no doubt but sure is pricey for a stabilizer.

It doesn't compare to my Switchback XT

Shot both the 29 and 33 today at Alvarado Archery (thanks Tony). Wow, it’s good. Very dead in hand. Couldn’t tell how quiet because I shot it at 3 yards at their chrono station not full 20 range.

In addition to the new limbs, the bridge lock stab mount is super cool. I bet those stabilizers do really well in the wind. And, I love that you can slide them into the middle of the bow when storing in the case.

I feel the elite Omnia is a step or two above Mathews right now

I’m planning on shooting the Omnia and the Phase 4. We’ll see if I like either of them more than my HeliM. Going in with an open mind. Elite makes a great bow, but I haven’t shot anything that just blew me away compared to the HeliM.

……… you serious?….. have you shot anything in the last 5 years. lol

I’m kidding… but not really




I reeeeeaaaaaalllyyyyy wish they would go back to a standard or testing specs. It gets so old getting hype for something that falls miserably short of expectation

Dead serious. I bought a V3 27 and it just never felt right. Sold it 3 months after I bought it, and bought my HeliM back. I shot it well, just didn’t like it compared to my HeliM.

Mathews added some marketing swag. 8limbs? That sounds like a solution to a non issue. A twist lock damper would likely do the same thing.

I think Mathews builds fantastic bows and I'll likely be after a traverse or v3x at some point, but its very clear they are milking the marketing game every year since the halon. Small incremental changes that are hyped as game changes.

I shot the HeliM for 10 years. Shot everything new from Mathews for 10 years and nothing made me buy new until the V3X. I am glad I bought the V3X as it is quiet with no hand shock. The draw cycle is different but I got accustomed to that very quickly.

I don’t want to buy a new bow this year but….my SIL may be getting a new bow to him!

I posted on several of their Social Media accounts asking about the new limb design with no answers. I personally don’t see a reason to add 4 more limbs and shrink them in size when the previous years bow was touted to have zero hand shock. I’m not an engineer, but my gut tells me with the abuse some of these bows get on a yearly basis, there will be alot of warrantee work going on.

I commend Mathews on trying to make their bow's as quiet as possible. My V3X33 is very quiet, I would love to compare it to the Phase 4. Mathews didn't play it safe that's for sure. Why would they risk doubling their limb count if they weren't serious about being the quietest bow out there.
