Switching from rifle to bow! Heli-m bow
« on: June 28, 2013, 04:01:39 PM »
Wanted to see if anyone uses the Mathews Heli-m bow. Read alot of reviews seems like people like it alot. I know its spendy especially for a first bow, but want to get something nice right away. Any thoughts on that bow?    Thank you.

Buy one used on ebay to save the money. I did and LOVE the bow a lot. Super smooth, light, quiet, and a great shooter. You won't be disappointed.  :tup:

Love my Heli-m.  Very smooth and shoots great.  My hunting arrows are scootin out at 305 fps.  It groups great too even out around 60 yards!

If you can afford it buy new , you will get the warranty . My experience with Mathews is they are great shooting bows , but at some point you will need the warranty . :twocents:

My fiancé shoots a HeliM she loves it Its super smooth and quite the only complaint I have ever heard with them is that Mathews made them so light that some of the 70# bows are hard to tune but I wouldnt mind having one I just cant part with my hoyt  :chuckle:

Which bow is absolutely a personal choice, I have been with Mathews since their beginning, had a Bowtech for a couple of seasons, went back to my mathews jusst because it felt better in my hand.
Here in Kitsap?Mason county you can go to Penisula Pro Shop on Highway 3- Talk to Charles, He sells most of the Brand name bows.

Yep Penisula is the way to go, try out a few and see what feels right.  I love my Mathews z7extreme.

Shot one last year, but have set up MANY here at my shop. Several in stock, located in Wenatchee. Great bow, easy to tune and very accurate!
