With an even longer riser to axle-to-axle ratio than the award-winning VXR, a completely redesigned limb and limb cup, all-new patent-pending Centerguard Cable Containment system and the new Nano 740 Damper, the 2021 V3 is a stealthy, agile rig that has never met a situation it can’t handle.
Offered in 27-inch ATA for ultimate agility in tight spaces or 31-inch ATA for maximum stability, the V3 gives hunters a compact rig without compromising Mathews’ industry-leading accuracy. Both have a 6-inch brace height and deliver speeds up to 342 fps.
“The geometry of our V3 platform opened up a new threshold of capabilities, allowing us to increase the overall riser length while keeping an ultra-compact frame with unmatched stability,” said Brad Treu, VP of Sales and Marketing. “Paired with our new harmonic damper for ultimate stealth and Centerguard technology for perfect timing, the V3 27 and 31 give hard-core bowhunters more function than ever before. It’s our most advanced hunting platform to date.”
CENTERGUARD CABLE CONTAINMENT
The new Centerguard system places the roller guard in the true center of the bow, resulting in optimal cam timing to maximize tunability while also adding additional vane clearance.
EXTENDED BRIDGED RISER
Stability is key to accuracy – taking a strategic approach to the riser design led to a platform that cut weight while maximizing length and rigidity in critical areas. The V3 sports the longest riser to axle-to-axle ratio we’ve ever built.
NEW LIMBS AND LIMB CUPS
The all-new deflected limbs and past-parallel geometry, paired with a redesigned limb cup, cut weight while increasing performance and efficiency.
NEW NANO 740
Stealth remains a top priority on the V3. The new riser platform and limb geometry increased cam efficiencies and enhanced the effects of 3D Damping for less noise and vibration than ever. The V3 deploys the all-new Nano 740, which is calibrated and tuned to the specific harmonics of these models. This new extended position also provides added balance at full draw.
SWITCHWEIGHT TECHNOLOGY
Allows shooters to change peak draw length and draw weight in 5-pound increments via the cam’s module instead of changing limbs. Available in 60, 65, 70 and 75-pound peak weights, each set of mods are programmed for an incredibly smooth draw and maximum efficiency. Mods are available in 80% or 85% letoff for further customization.
SILENT CONNECT SYSTEM (SCS)
Introduced in 2020, the Silent Connect System (SCS) is compatible with the V3. This optional kit enables hunters to attach Mathews’ Genuine bow rope and bow sling in the field quickly and silently, and is available in stores and online.
Mathews is also offering two new finish options – First Lite Specter and Under Armour All-Season Forest. Along with two new finish options, there are six other solid and camo options.

In addition to the V3, Mathews is excited to release two other hunting bows – the Prima (women’s) and Atlas (long-draw).
At a just 3.93 pounds with a 30-inch axle-to-axle frame and speeds up to 321 fps at a 27.5 inch draw, the Prima gives women superior performance and an unmatched shooting experience. Featuring Mathews’ new Centerguard Cable containment system for optimal cam timing and the all-new Nano 740 to drastically reduce post shot noise and vibration, the Prima give serious female archers the ultimate hunting rig.
Built with long-draw archers in mind, the Atlas boasts draw lengths up to 34 inches and features a forgiving 7 3/4-inch brace height. It’s powered by the award-winning Crosscentric Cam technology, producing speeds up to 350 fps, while the Switchweight modules offer maximum versatility. The Atlas deploys the EHS+ damper to reduce post-shot vibration to give long-draw archers a feel unlike any other bow to date.
