Shoot both if you can. I like the lift more than the v3x. I think the lift has better balance, but that is personal preference. Grip and strings are crap on both. The lift X is a better buy just for the tuning feature, or you can have B-Stick on here tune it for you.. Definitely money well spent. I’d rather have a tuned K-Mart bow than a new Mathew’s that’s out of tune.
