Title: Thoughts on the z7 Extreme?
Post by: RIVERRAT on March 02, 2011, 06:48:07 AM: I am replacing my DXT with a new Z7extreme in the next week or so. My questions are for those of you who have been using the Z7x or have experience with it.
1. How is it working for ya so far?
2. Are you finding it to be all it is hyped up to be.
3. Tuneability?
4. Stability/ accuracy (it is so short)
5. Anything I should be aware of?

Thanks

I plan on deploying it this season in some ground blind situations. I did entertain the mag idea. Thanks much for your input.

Since you are using the DXT it seems like this is a perfect upgrade if you like that size of bow. For some reason I stick with the traditional Mathews, the smaller bows just feel different. One day I will get over my "old school " mentality. Have fun with your new bow, I don't see how you can go wrong. Mike

The biggest problem I have with that bow is it isn't a HOYT! :chuckle: :chuckle:
