Will the helium accept a 2 piece quiver? I shoot a DXT and I abolutly love it. The short ATA is less forgiving but dosent that make you a better archer. I do not like the fact that the riser isnt drilled for a 2 piece quiver. That little one dosent support enouf arrow.

Yes, it will take a two piece quiver.  I had a dxt that I sold to by the Heli m this year.  I absolutely hate the one piece quiver.....that was one reason for my decision to upgrade.  I will post pics later tonight.

The sight is the G5 XR2.  It has one static pin and 1 floating pin.  It is extremely light and so far seems to work extremely well.

Carp

Yes, there is....I got really lucky whith that.  I ordered the bow and when it came in it had one of the nicest grips I have ever seen on a Mathews.  Needless to say I was super stoke.   :tup:

I shoot a lot of bows and that has got to be one of the best I have seen. The one I shot was not even close to that. Makes it look really sharp. Even though it is a matthews :chuckle: Just playing :tup:

Did Mathews change their grips? Besides the one piece quiver thats the only other thing I didnt care for but I replaced the stock one with a Focus.

Oh contrair, I've found it to be one of the most repeatable grips out there!

Maybe I don't know what a good grip is.....I have shot mathews for many years and have never had a problem.  I consistantly harvest deer and elk with the stock grip.  I hold consistantly tight groups and don't think it is uncomfortable. 

What makes a grip a "good" grip?

What are you guys shooting?

Any pics would be awsome.

Thanks

Johnny
