This year, I'm stoked to finally upgrade to the new Mathews LIFT 33. Let me tell you, this bow is a game-changer and Mathews knocked it out of the park with this bow. At just 4 pounds, it's unbelievably light for a 33” bow. The new cams on the LIFT 33 shoot like butter. Smooth, light, and fast—my 440 grain arrows should be clocking in around 290 feet per second. It's a beast. If you're gearing up for elk season and looking to step up your game, I highly recommend giving the new Mathews a test drive. Head over to Mathewsinc.com or visit your local dealer to see why this bow is making waves in the hunting community. If you know me I don’t get a new bow often, this is only my 4th bow since 2002, but this bow I am excited to start hunting with this year.
