Title: mathews
Post by: nitro on October 07, 2009, 10:50:57 PM: Well iam thinking of getting by wife and i new bows, she is really wanting the new mathews passion and iam looking at getting the reezen. My question is are mathews bows really worth the price to spend on them or not?

Having said that, I would pick up a number of bows and shoot them and figure out whatever is best for you. If you can afford it, buy the one you can shoot the best - you owe it to yourself (reducing the number of hours of frustration trying to figure out why the #(*#( you're not shooting well when you were JUST shooting the best you ever shot the week before) and the animals you hunt (reducing the chance of a bad hit because of crappy equipment.) Whatever you feel most comfortable shooting is worth the price...

I'd at least try out Mathews, Hoyt, Bowtech and there are a number of other good bows (PSE, etc.) that might work best for you that you can try if you have the time to try them all and access to them.

I personally love my mathews I have now, worth the money in my eyes, but grew up with hoyt and wouldn't hesitate about switching back.

as for you getting a new bow to I would wait and see what 2010 bows are....PSE has 7 new bows for 2010 and I know of 3 new Hoyt bows and 1 of them being Hoyts fastest bow ever, and Bowtech will have a few new bows to and I think they have a FAST bow coming.

Title: Re: mathews
Post by: xXx Archery on October 09, 2009, 10:52:53 PM: I feel it will be 340-345 ...it should be a nice bow at 34.5" ATA we put in a order in last week.
they say its fast but SMOOTH on the Draw....I hope so.

Do you know what the brace height is supposed to be? I love the fact that it will be a little longer ATA...that's awesome.

I will probably be in the market for a new bow next year (was going to pull the trigger this year but ended up with Swarovskis instead. One expensive thing at a time...)
