Actually like the fuse better than the new Mathews suppressor has a sleaker/nicer look to it IMO.

When you're talking glue for carbons are you talking about for the fletching, inserts or a good all around glue? I use Fastfletch on standard inserts and obviously the HIT glue for my hidden inserts. As for fletching I have a couple different types I use depending on the vane, if I'm using a wrap or for feathers. I've been using the Easton super glue as a experiment on everything lately and it seems to be doing really well. The others I use are Bohnings fast set gel and AAE's fast set gel. Standard glue is Bohning fletch tight platinum for feathers. I don't use anything from GT.

Bill check out the new Dead end string stop by Mathews.  It looks like a good one.  Go to Mathews web site it tells a little about it. It has a nice vee to capture the sting, the fuse version does as well.  I have heard that the STS allows the sting to slip to the side.  I have told ya what the sting stop did for my bow, I would highly recommend it.

Dad,
WILCO,
Just trying to feel it all out. That reezen is the heat! i shot it so much today, I went way beyond tired (thats a two arrow fee if your curious!). I may not be able to shoot for a few months starting in june, but cant get enough of it right now.
Wife is already saying I better put more elk meat in the freezer or I have hell to pay! (then complains that she wants a bow instead of a rifle go figure!)

So, what's the final on the monster.  How would the guys rate it that have tried it.  I found it to be very accurate at 20 yards.  It pulls a little stiffer, but fast.  I am currently shooting a Bowtech Alligence.  I was looking at possibly getting the monster.  Are there any better bows that one could recommend?

I shot all kinds waiting for "the one". The monster wasnt bad, in fact as the thread goes, i almost bought it. I did like the alphamax about equal to it though, but figured if i liked them equally, then speed would be the ice breaker.
Then I shot my reezen. Yep love that bow!
Biggest thing that I did not like was how top heavy it was, as well as the last 2 inches of the draw suck, which means It will feel like a mack truck in front of a critter.
I never felt this "hand shock" that everyone complains about, nor did I feel it was too loud.
just my  :twocents:,

I also switched to the reezen this year and it is the most comfortable bow I have ever shot. It feels like I had it custom made for me! Shot it a bunch this weekend and the shoulder feels great. I usually sell my bows at the end of the season but this year I think I will hold on to this one!

I went and shot the Monster and liked it.  Shot the Hoyt due to some recomendations, but ended up going with the Mathews reezen.  I seemed to like it the best.  They are all good bows.  The Hoyt was smooth on draw back, but just liked the Mathews the best.  I will be throwing my Bowtech Allegiance up if anyone is interested.

bottom line if you can shoot 2 inch groups at 50yards would'nt  you rather shoot 275 vs 250. I would .
