I don't know about next year, but right now I'm looking at a Strother, looks impressive.

I shot the new Mathews Creed and new Monster yesterday.  Both very nice bows.  The new monster is very smooth and light.  Only draw back it was $999 in black.  A camo one will be over the $1k for a bare model.  Nice bow though.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

Monster & Light in the same sentance?  Don't hear that very often!  You must have shot the new "Chill" @ 3.9#.  That just might be the first Mathews bow I would ever buy :o  Much better grip and you don't need training wheels on it!  I think they have a real winner there.  But, as you mentioned - I think the price is going to make it difficult for most to pull the trigger on that one.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

My switchback XT will still be my hot go to bow. Hard to kill them much deader than dead and with a deer and an elk this year both pass throughs it's proven to still be deadly.

I checked out the new mathews and not enough there to put down my z7xtreme.  The new monster is cool but they all seem like z7 crossbreeds.  My z7x is just as good so why change?  I think bows are in a rut until the next major breakthrough.
MAGA!  Again..

I have the Z7 Extreme and also shot the new Helim before buying. I would buy the Z7 Extreme anyday before any other mathews model. The new helim had way too much vibration/felt recoil for my likes.

I will add why hasnt anyone brought up the Prime bows? With their side by side cams and rock solid anchor point, its hard for me to see how these bows wouldnt be AWESOME! Any reviews out there of these yet?

Whats the deal Mathews?  They discontinue the z7xtreme and then basically release it again under a different name, just a few tweaks to change it!  The ZXT is just an extreme with some tweaks and mabee not any better.  The z7xtreme in my opinion is one of their better bows, why mess a good thing up?

I shot the Monster again and it may be the next bow purchase.  I am going to sell the Bowtech Destroyer 350.  Great bow, killed several animals with it, but like trying the new stuff.

I shot the Mathews Creed and the Chill the other day.  Both of them were exceptional.  I shoot left handed and have trouble shooting a right handed Hoyt with the tech riser so I didn't shoot the new Hoyts....  The new Bear bows are intriguing.  That said, I'm sure a pile of  both the Creed and the Chill will be sold.  The '13 Elite Hunter looks to be a dandy as well, but being an Elite doesn't get as much recognition as Hoyt, Mathews, or Bowtech.
