And just about any individual shooter can have a bad day. Just about any bow can shoot one-hole groups through a Hooter Shooter. Our accuracy and forgiveness test-where multiple shooters measure multiple groups from multiple bows over the course of several days-is unique to our review, but we believe it’s the most important part of the test. During that, we also subjectively evaluate the categories of draw cycle, fit and finish, balance and handling, and grip. Our shooting panel then evaluates the bows by shooting and measuring a series of 25-yard groups with each of them, using 340-spine Carbon Express arrows, cut to 28.5 inches. Next, we set up the 60-pound bows with drop-away rests, sights, and peeps, and then we paper-tune them. Testing the Mathews VXR for Accuracy and Forgiveness Bows are randomly labeled during this phase of the test so that when the results are in, we know they’re unbiased. Once that is finished, we take the IBO-spec bows to Stress Engineering, where we use their equipment and procedures to measure noise and vibration for each bow, in addition to mapping draw force curves and calculating efficiency. Testing the Mathews VXR for Noise and Vibration We use a Whisker Biscuit rest and D-loop for this procedure, so you can assume a loss of 5 feet per second, give or take, with those things added. Then we chronograph them with a bare-shaft, 350-grain IBO-spec arrow. We verify all the specs of the IBO bows upon arrival, and adjust them as needed. The other is set to 28 inches and 60 pounds, for hands-on range testing. One is set to IBO specs: a 30-inch draw length and 70 pounds. Per procedure for that test, we received two of each participating compound bow. We tested the Mathews VXR 28 in spring of 2020 as part of our annual compound bow review. Despite the compact dimensions, this compound bow is a shooter, and so even open-country mule deer and pronghorn hunters can find plenty to like about it.
It is built for bow hunting and this Mathews VXR bow has many strong features to help hunters in the field. It’s right at home in tree stands and ground blinds, but also plenty suitable for run-and-gun turkey hunting and elk hunting.
A short axle-to-axle model that’s comfortable to shoot with middle-of-the-road speeds, the VXR 28 is a hunting bow, first and foremost. It has the price to match, but expect it to offer years of service. The Mathews VXR 28 is a flagship-level (i.e., top-of-the-line) compound bow with a machined riser, cutting-edge technology, and premium components. Price: $1,099 What Kind of Hunting Bow is the Mathews VXR? For the all-around hunting bow that’ll work well for beginning and advanced bowhunters alike, the Mathews VXR 28 compound bow, winner of our 2020 bow test, is a perfect blend of quiet, easy shooting speed, maneuverability, adjustability, and good looks.
