2009 Mathews

Boo hiss...I waited up all this time to check out the new bows and all they have are short brace height bows.  Looks like I've made up my mind, Elite Z28 here I come.

The reezen 7.0 has a 7 inch brace height. 

The monster has a 6 inch brace height and looks just like the pse x-force... 


Looks like they have taken many of the ideas from the X-force ...

Short brace height, split limb and dual cam. Not ready for that so I'll need to check out the Reezen 7.0 ( or 6.5 maybe ). Still picking up 13 fps over the DXT.

It has been pretty slow all day due to traffic I think. Everyone wants to check out what they came out with. I don't care for their twin cam bow the monster, I guess I just don't care much about the speed. The reezen looks like it is worth checking out to me though. Need to get my dad a new bow.

I stopped at Rainier Archery yesterday on the way home. Joe informed me that he would have the 360 one on the shelf in January. It has a 40-80 pound range. I already informed Joe that I will be getting one. Its all about speed for me Boys. Nothing else out there will touch that. Looks like 400 fps may finally be a reality. Did 396 fps with my Hypertech set at 100+  lbs. This one should be close at 80 lbs. Will let you know when it happens.

I thought you only shot Hoyt.  You aren't gonna like the change in draw from the smooth hoyt to that 5" bh bow.  Plus I think you have to shoot like 80lbs to get 360fps.  Might as well just get a xforce.  Well maybe not.  Who knows it might be a joy to shoot.

Don't worry, I will be hangin onto the Hypertech. Maybe when I start torturing the Mathews the way I Have my Hoyts an explosion will take place. I have done the unthinkable with my Hoyt bows and they have never had a failure of any sort. Hope the same is true with Mathews.

My hats off to Bowtech for speed though. We shot a Black Knight set at 83 pounds and were able to get an arrow  up to 383 fps.

Obviously these are not hunting weight arrows. These are screwing around in the shop weight arrows.

Shot the Reezen 6.5 last night, thought it would be hard to get a feel for it when the draw length was 2 inches too long. It actually had a good draw cycle, valley and holding a full draw was a breeze at 70# smooth all the way thru so I could only imagine it will be better on a bow that actually fits me. They stuck with the slim limb and though it weighs a touch more than the DXT it's not noticable enough to be a concern if you like the lighter bows. I would rather have the extra weight and longer A2A for stability.There was a little twong feel to it but it is quiet and seemed fast ( did not crono it ). I put an S-Coil on it and shot it again and it was noticibly better with just a stabalizer on it and was a pleasure to shoot. I decided to stick with the 7 inch brace height and ordered the Reezen 7.0, looks like a 4-6 week wait but I'll let you know how it is when it comes in. Was also looking at the Hyperlight as a good bow for my wife so I am ( I mean She is ) looking forward to shooting that one. Looks like Mathews is a little behind on production of the Monster as I was told they won't be available until late January which I think WAPITI already stated. Also looking forward to shooting that bow though I don't think I would like the 6 inch BH but I could be wrong.
