2012 Mathews Heli-M Bow Review
Collapse

We have one in our shop, nice bow. Lighter than the Element and has metal riser.
All of the threaded inserts are titanium. However, I noticed slightly more vibration in the Heli-M than the Z7 series, I believe is due to the lighter weight, Also note, you put a FUNCTIONAL stabilizer of it, and she is back to sweetness

well, vibration leads to "recoil" bows without recoil dont have much vibration either
The Bow is still by far a great bow... you just have to ask do I want light, or do I want less vibration
either way you probally wont notice by the time you are finished decking the bows out. I really dont understand why everyone is so wound up over .4lbs.. heck stabilizer difference and arrow weight difference can make more than that!
this post is refering to Z7 series or heli-m.... Not talking about choosing any other brand

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.
