Haven't shot the Heli-M, but I REALLY like the Mathews MR 7.0.  Very nice bow.

Looks just like my Z7 plus some metal drilled out of the riser and a post for the reverse assist.  Suspect it would shoot the same.  It is 1/2 lb lighter, but other specs are the same.  After I add all of my accessories, the extra half pound is not that much.  I'll save my $1000

I shot it yesterday , shoots good , Z7 also shoots very well. I shot the Element RKT, that was a big mistake, I have a few other bows to shoot before I make my choice on a new one but the Element is way ahead of the rest so far.... yes I am a hoyt guy but am trying to go in with an open mind and shooyt several different bows.

I haven't shot the RKT yet but I haven't been pleased with the other Hoyt Carbon bows. I thought they had too much vibration and ere louder than other Hoyt bows....which I found Ironic because their marketing platform talked so much about their lack of vibration/sound.  :twocents:  I hope the RKT is different than the past ones because I like how light they are and not that it's real important but I like how they look too.

Don't know which other hoyts you are referring to but my carbon element is way quiter than my maxis, katera, and razortech , and way less vibration. :dunno:
If we were supposed to be vegetarian God would have made broccoli more fun to shoot!
"HOYT" why would you even consider shooting something else?

I picked one up. Liked the way it didn't feel top heavy like a lot of the other Mathews bows.

Shot the Hoyt vector 35 and the Mathews Heli m.  I am somewhat biased as I have been a Mathews shooter for many years.  I like the feel of both but the hoyt had really bad string vibrations following the shot????  When I shot the Heli m it blew my mind....What an amazing bow.  This thing is balanced as well as any other bow I have ever shot, it is quiet, fast and extremely smooth to draw.  The Back end is solid.  My only complaint is the valley is very small, but you have to pay for performance and having a solid back end and a fast / accurate bow sometimes means you have to make sacrafices which in this case equates to a small valley.  I have mine on order and should be shooting it in a couple weeks.   :IBCOOL:

I have my Heli-M on order.  They are probably sick of me calling asking if it's in.  But it's hard looking at my new accessories just sitting on my counter when they could be on my bow!
