Post by: Jellymon on February 18, 2014, 08:56:26 AM: The Mathews Z9 was the long draw version of the z7, it went up to 32" draw length. It's good quality, and a great bow if it fits and you like it. :tup:

I don't necessarily know anything bad about them I'm just not a Mathews shooter. If I were to shoot a new Mathews it would be that new chill R. I really like that bow even though its shorter ata than I prefer it shoots nice. If you got a z7 for free you got a nice bow. :tup:

Given to you! wow! Sounds like a heck of a deal to me. A good friend of mine bought a z9 at the same time I bought my z7 extreme. He needed the 32" draw. I'm a 31-31.5" shooter so I could shoot his fairly easily even though it wasn't set up for me the times I did shoot it it seemed to shoot quiet, smooth and was much more forgiving then my z7 extreme. At that time I was very good with my z7 I practiced allot. I need to get back to that. :bash: Both bows are set at 70lbs.

Post by: buck n rut on February 18, 2014, 10:04:24 AM: Its fully set up. Fall away rest, ive never seen the sight tho. It a magnifien glass with one pin. Has quiver and 6 arrows and came with a hard case. Have went and got it yet. Hoping I get a chance this weekend to go get it and take it to archery shop and have it looked over before I shoot it. Hopefull it will be my new blacktail killer.

Post by: D-Rock425 on February 18, 2014, 11:23:42 AM: I like my hoyts. I liked my old high country's to when I shot them for a few years. Looked them up the other day still making bows. Kinda want to shoot one.

Post by: Rainier10 on February 18, 2014, 11:33:14 AM: If it fits you that is a great deal on a nice bow. I shoot a z7extreme and love it, my guess is the z9 is just as nice with a little bit longer ATA and that 8 3/4" brace height probably real forgiving. I think you got great deal with all of the accessories you listed. Nice job and have fun. Post some pics when you get it and tell us how it shoots.
