hi guys Dan Pickar here with Eastmans' Bow Hunting Journal today we're going to
take a look at the Mathews of vertex
this is a flagship for 2019 you'll see it looks a lot like the Triax of last
year it's just two inches longer axle to axle through our 30 inches axel axel
still the six-inch brace height you'll see the riser configuration is still the
same with the harmonic stabilizer they say it's 20% quieter this year probably
what my guess is how they did that is that you have a longer axel axel bow you
don't have such a harsh string angle and that string is gonna slap a little less
aggressively the vertex 20% quieter so that is something new for this year as
well as the engage grip which is also new what is actually pretty cool this
year what to do with the mod system is made this bowl available in five-pound
increments so 60 65 70 and 75 and that's all controlled by the mod up here so
there's no loosening the Lim bolts or anything like that to adjust your draw
weight bows are most efficient and performed the best when the limbs are
maxed out or screwed all the way down something else that's new for this year
is the qad Matthews integrate rest attaches by a dovetail right here on the
back of the riser so there's no rest bolt anymore you see this little plug in
there and that just makes it a little more streamlined and I kind of like it
so that's kind of cool that's also new this year man nothing much else to talk
about with this thing other than it's a great shooter so let's knock a couple
arrows we're going to shoot it and we're gonna see what kind of speeds were
getting also new for this year is the cue light quiver this is a two piece
quiver carbon rods 7 ounces you can't beat that it's my new favorite quiver
I've always been a fan of two-piece Quivers I just like two points of
contact on my arrow very spread out so obviously the top and then way down at
the end I like how it just it's tight to the bow there's no rattling or vibrate
of the arrow so I'm really a two-piece quiver guy and man this has become
quickly my new favorite now this is 29 inch 75 pound mod on it 85 percent lead
off this is a bloodsport evidence 350 I think it's cut to 27 and 3/4 I have a
20 or a 125 grain head on there so this arrow is 488 grains so that's pretty
heavy arrow and we have a 75 pound bow so let's see what kind of speeds we get
I'm pretty excited I haven't chronograph this yet so we'll see what we get all
right turn this on all right 488 grains let's see what we can do I mean you can
tell it's a noticeable difference it's 75 pound pull but it's not uncomfortable
well it's a little more than just pulling the normal 70 pounder 292 pretty
fast 488 grain arrow man that is crazy if you think about it
for how much heavier of an arrow that is for five pounds that's pretty fast you
don't really want a hunting arrow going much faster than 300 feet per second
anyway because you just get broad head flight instability at distance and so
anywhere in the 290s I think is pretty fast for a hunting arrow alright let's
do another one
294 - what's smokin darn near a 500 grain
arrow going 294 that's a buffalo crusher and we'll do one more 293 so I
think that's pretty consistent 292 293 294 out of the 75-pound 85% let off
29-inch draw matthews vertex can't complain about that pretty darn quiet
bow this is what i'm gonna be hunting with this year so make sure you guys
