With even less noise and 20% less vibration than the award-winning TRIAX, a completely redesigned grip interface, and our all-new, patent-pending SwitchWeight Technology, the 2019 VERTIX delivers an unmatched shooting experience. The new Engage Grip interface was designed to ensure consistent hand placement, reducing torque and increasing accuracy. The VERTIX features 3D Damping Technology that works to control the three perceived axes of vibration stemming from the grip. The patent-pending dovetail mounting system was designed to attach the all-new UltraRest Integrate MX by QAD. This compact, micro-adjust rest allows for quick and easy set up while providing precision tuning both horizontally and vertically.

"When you look at bow design over the last 20 years, it would be hard to argue that any brand has contributed more significant ideas to the marketplace than Mathews. SwitchWeight technology is the latest game changing idea from the minds behind Mathews Archery. Adjusting poundage up and down during the season is not a good idea, but my bow preferences change from early fall elk hunts to late season deer hunts. In the past, I've had to settle for a 70-pound elk bow that doubled as a deer bow in November.

With SwitchWeight technology, I can transform my elk bow into a 60-pound deer bow simply by swapping out some modules. Granted, I'll need a new sight tape and I may need a slight tuning tweak as well, but I definitely don't have to buy a new bow nor do I have to live with the brace height difference and other compromises that happen when you adjust your poundage with limb bolts. I'm in love with this idea, and after putting a pile of arrows through this thing, I'm convinced it is the smoothest, quietest bow I've ever shot. Also, in spite of the 6" brace height and 30" axle to axle, I feel like it aims as well as the two much longer Halon X's that have been my pride and joy for years now. I'll gladly welcome the extra 13 feet per second of speed, and with the new Engage Grip, I can't get this thing to slap my wrist with any string contact when I deliberately try. If you haven't shot this bow, get to your local dealer and give it a test run!" - Jerrod Lile, Huntin' Fool CEO and Hunt Advisor
