I have the Z7X and love it. I shot the Creed and the Chill lastnight Both were very nice.But I liked the Chill with those giant Cams like the Ballistic. ZXT was same as the Z7X with a lighter roller arm.

Really looking at the zxt

Hoyt by FAR! I havent shot the new ones, but the vector blows away any of the new or old mathews

I love threads like this. they will get you absolutely nowhere.

That said.. I love my Z7X. Its small, fast, and i kill everything i aim at.

Last Feb, I had shoulder surgery and was at the end of my physical therapy. I went to the bow shop in late August to buy a new smoother drawing bow than my old Reezen. I was open minded and was not brand loyal. My Reezen was set at 58 lbs and we set the Vector and Heli-m up at 58 so I could compare all 3. Even with the Reezen having a very harsh draw cycle, I could still draw it with somewhat ease and I could NOT draw the Vector at all with several attempts. I am very confused as why anyone in their right mind could make a statement like the one above after my personal experience. I ended up walking out with a new Heli-m.

Thanks I will keep that in mind

Too soon to get answers on the new Mathews but if you are looking to purchase you can get the Mathews Z7 Extreme on sale for 750 now since they no longer make it. At least the shop I went to had it for $150 off. I had my eye on the Mission Ballistic but then bought a used Mathews Switchback off Craigslist.

Scratch the Z7X off the list. The ZXT is the Z7X with upgrades. And even with discounts the new ZXT is going to be within the same price range as the Z7X.

That being said are you after speed? looks? Draw cycle? Speed they are all pretty close so scratch that off. Draw cycle you will find nothing better than the mathews bows. And with draw cycle you can mark the chill off the list since the HeliM, ZXT and Creed surpass it and its more of a speed bow. Then out of those three it will come down to looks/personal apeal.

Creed - Smoothest drawing, split limbs and suprisingly fast actual speeds vrs IBO. 950$
HeliM - Light as can be nearly as smooth as Creed and older limb style if you prefer that look. 900$
ZXT - Shorter ATA more compact look nearly as smooth of a draw and more forgiving with a larger brace height. 800$

PERSONALLY I like the looks of the ZXT and the trade offs of increased forgiveness and shorter ATA vrs a smoother draw and slightly less speed.

Keep in mind that even the ZXT has a much smoother draw than the other bows you mentioned.

Go try them out before you buy... I made the mistake of buying the bow I wanted from research instead of shooting them all. Now I want to switch brands after trying more.

I like the chill

I made this statement in the mind set that I have been able to draw the bow back and shoot it. thats my mind set. I own one. Not Hoyts fault you couldnt man up and pull it back. besides, its all in your back muscles. If you drew correctly your shoulder wouldnt be torn up. Ive owned mathews before and there a smooth drawing bow, but the fact is th OP wanted an opinion.

Save you some money and get a Bowtech Assassin!!! It's better than all the bows you have listed. And faster!!! Anybody agree????
