Video: Dry-Firing a New Mathews Lift X Bow — On Purpose!

In the 6-minute YouTube video below, you’ll see Josh Jones (known as MFJJ to his YouTube followers) dry-fire a brand-new 33-inch Mathews Lift X — on purpose — twice! MSRP for this bow is $1,496. The bow is set for 29.5-inch draw length and 70 pounds draw weight.

MFJJ runs an online archery store called Podium Archer, which is affiliated with Spokane Valley Archery (brick and mortar store) in Washington state. FYI: MFJJ recently announced a new pro shop called Nashville North Archery in Ashland City, Tennessee (just north of Nashville).

In my opinion, MFJJ conducts some of the best compound bow reviews on YouTube. Even though he sells many bow brands, including all of the biggest names, he isn’t shy about sharing his thoughts and results when testing a bow — any bow. For that reason, he has a dedicated and loyal YouTube following.

MFJJ’s video description sums up perfectly what you’re about to see: “We did the unthinkable  . . . we dry fired the brand-new Mathews Lift X, and the results were absolutely INSANE! This is one of the most dangerous things you can do to a bow, and the consequences could be devastating. Will the Lift X survive? Or will it be completely destroyed? Watch as we push this bow to its absolute limits, breaking the #1 rule in archery! You won’t believe what happens next . . .”

I’ll admit that I was shocked by the test results.

P.S. MFJJ correctly provides this important disclaimer: “DO NOT try this at home! Dry-firing a bow can be extremely dangerous and may result in injury or equipment damage.”

GULF SHORES, Ala. — TCU’s Daniela Alvarez and Tania Moreno came from behind to win the final match Sunday as the second-seeded Horned Frogs wrapped up their first NCAA women’s beach volleyball championship with a 3-2 victory over No. 4 seed Loyola Marymount.

TCU (32-5) is the first school other than USC and UCLA to win the title. The Trojans won the first two and the previous four, and the Bruins won two straight in 2018-19.

Alvarez and Moreno, who took a year off to play in the Olympics, returned to finish unbeaten in four years as a duo. Alvarez and Moreno dropped the first game 18-21 to LMU’s Michelle Shaffer and Anna Pelloia before rallying to win the final two 21-15 and 15-6.

The Lions (38-7) eliminated No. 5 seed USC in the quarterfinals and top-seed UCLA in the semifinals.

TCU threes pair Sofia Izuzquiza and Allanis Navas earned a point with a 21-16, 21-13 sweep.

Fours pair Anhelina Khmil and Ana Vergara also swept their way to a point with 21-14 and 21-19 wins. The duo finished 21-0 this season.

The Olympians finished off the championship as the Horned Frogs won 12 straight to end the season.

LMU twos pair Chloe Hooker and Vilhelmiina Prihti earned a point with a 21-16, 21-17 sweep. Fives pair Tanon Rosenthal and Giuliana Poletti Corrales had the other point with a pair of 21-16 wins.

This story has been edited to correct the spelling of Landen Cordova.

The Pueblo South Colts co-op boys volleyball team has for the first time ever advanced to the state tournament as regional winners. 

The Colts took on Gateway and DSST on Saturday at home after earning the chance to host regionals with a regular season record of 18-5. 

The Colts took care of both teams with 3-0 victories.

“It’s a little bit of relief,” coach Ramon Arriaga said after the Colts won their first regional tournament. 

“We are just blessed and grateful for this opportunity. These guys have worked hard since the beginning of the year, playing club, open gyms, lifting weights, and they deserve this,” Arriaga said. “They’ve played so well. I’m so proud of these guys. No one’s worked harder than these guys, and we showed it today by representing Pueblo, our town. I couldn’t be more proud and more thankful.” 

The key to the victories on Saturday was the emergence of one player — Landen Cordova.  

Cordova had never played competitive volleyball until this year, and his growth and development all season long were on display in the regionals. 

“You get someone like Landen, he’s a once-in-a-lifetime player, in my opinion,” Arriaga said. “You got someone like Landen who can learn from our seniors, and that’s how he learned how to play the game of volleyball. He’s the most coachable kid, most likable kid, hardest working kid, the first one in the gym, and the last one out of the gym. You get those attributes with the senior leadership that we have, they make him better, and players like our seniors, and Landen make me a way better coach than I am.” 

With the regional behind them, the team now focuses on the true test, the state tournament.

“We’re going to celebrate this,” Arriaga said. “We’re going to preserve this is a big historic moment for Pueblo. But our next goal is to go 1-0, on Thursday that’s the first thing we have to do, is get ready to go on Thursday. It’s anyone’s game from here on out. We’re excited to be in the dance, and we’re going to go represent Pueblo very well.” 

The state volleyball tournament begins Thursday through Saturday, May 8-10 at Fountain-Fort Carson High School in Fountain.
