2012 Mathews Heli-M Bow Review

[JerryR]

I think its nice to finally have a Mathews bow do its advertised IBO. This is even more awesome that Jerry's apparent bow will do OVER IBO. People don't think Mathews has a winner here, but I'll argue that point all day. They improved upon everything I thought they could with the original Z7 platform. Removed all the red accents on the roller and cam module, less reflexed riser, DRAW STOP for a more solid back wall, and the weight of the Z7 XT was really closer to 4.4 lbs (advertised at 3.98# i believe) due to the ** on the Mathews site saying without accessories like the harmonic dampers or the heavy harmonic stabilizer. So in all reality Mathews shaved almost a whole pound off this bow and still raised ATA by 2". A winner in my book!

Hey Jerry, do you have time today to weigh an xtreme and let us know true bare bow weight so we know the actual difference between the 2? Thanks.

Hey robby the bare weight on the extreme is 4.52 lbs.

still not worth $1000.

I paid $849 for mine two and half weeks ago. . . . two years ago I paid 799 for my z7

$959 is msrp. Most if not all dealers sell for well below that. Closest dealer to me is selling them for $800 even

WHA in Katy has em for 849 and should be getting the shipment any day.

Thank you for that very helpful and insightful comment. You really added intellectual value to this thread. Its not that I'm a pansy, its about feel and personal preference. Its also about Mathews finally being truthful on weight numbers for once. If you like to shoot boat anchors go right ahead. If you don't have something helpful to say next time, just leave it alone for the rest of us please.

It's about time I replaced my old Mathews Q2. I'll definitely be checking it out. Does anyone have a Z7 they plan to sell before next hunting season?
