Mathews 2009 Bows

IMO the money Mathews spends just to bring out a new bow is unnecessary. It's like the space race in the 60's.
The top 2-3 makers all work to push out new bows just to have a new bow. This has to contribute to some makers having problems like cracking limbs,based upon marketing departments.

I am not going to fall into the latest bow trap this time.
Plan to shoot my Drenalin as long as I can shoot it.

I think Mathews does a dang good job of listening to what the customers want. People have wanted a speed bow for years. They now have the fastest one on the market as well as a very fast single cam bow for those that don't care as much about speed.
 
Speed is only one variable of many that are necessary to make clean kills.
The key to bow hunting is to buy a efficient bow,and learn to shoot it well. Pratice to put the broadhead where it needs to go.

Well I at one time had a PSE X-Force and loved the bow but it was a pain to find a press for it. I waited all this time to hear what the fuss was going to be about for the 2009 Mathews...only to see they've pretty much copied the X-Force design.

Well I'll have one of them anyway just because I liked the X-Force. Now maybe the local dealers will have a press to fit them. I like the looks of the Monster.
 
I don't like the amount of reflex in the risers to increase the speed on the new Reezen . This tends to decrease forgiveness . I'll never sacrifice forgiveness to achieve more speed . Speed is a non-issue for me .
I guess they did what they had to do to keep up with the speed race . PSE and Bowtech where blowing them away in that department .

Didn't mean to bust your chops. I came off wrong.

IMO sometimes speed is valued more than eficiency.
 
I saw them last night at midnight Kyle :D

It was about 11:30 when I was getting ready for bed. My wife had been asleep for a while. I remembered the rollout at midnight and stayed up a bit longer. The Mathews site more or less crashed from the traffic :D

I want to shoot the Reezin 7. The Monster looks cool, but I doubt it's for me. I was disappointed that there isn't an update to any of the tournament bows. I'm in the market for a 60lb bow for FITA. I guess I'll just buy a blueberry DLD. :)

Didn't he waffle back and forth last year.....right up to the point when he bought his DXT :D

I know, I know. I wish they had the Monsters out to shoot.
 
The Monster reminded of the PSE X Force so that didn't impress me. With the smaller brace heights, that bow will not be forgiving. I like some of the designs that Mathews has done, but alot of the bows have to small ata's for my liking. When your 6'3", 29" draw with a d loop, the peep is way up the string by the cam. My Hoyt Katera is 34" ata and that's about as short as I'm willing to go. 33" would be the absolute lowest.
 
I like what I see...I'm still shooting the LX and have always loved it. If the Reezen gets good reviews I might have to make a trade next year.

I own a LX too . It's a nice shooting bow , although a bit heavier and noisier than my PSE .
Mathews will get plenty of hype out of their "latest and greatest"lineup . They always do . The DXT and Drenalin will suddenly become obsolete because guys think they gotta have the latest model to make them a better bowhunter . :)
 
I have owned three different Mathews bows. The new Mathews don't impress me enough to sell the Bowtech 82nd that I have now. No doubt that Mathews makes a great product, however the single cams lack in the speed department and as Radar mentioned "speed sells".
 
Matt is a genius , he knows how to hype his newest lineup as the latest and greatest . I just get a kick out of the Mathews fan club . It's just another bow guys , it's not going to make you a better bowhunter .

Have you looked at the new line-up? Their new single cam (Reezen) is the fastest single cam on the market. They now have the fastest dual cam bow on the market as well.
 
What makes the new lineup better without mentioning the increase in speed ? Are the bows going to be more forgiving , quieter , improved grip so guys don't have to buy an aftermarket grip ? No !

No bow makes you a better hunter. A bow that you have confidence in will make you a better shot. Just because his new bows are fast doesn't mean they aren't accurate.
 
I just find it entertaining to see all of the hype over the new lineup , and all of the guys selling last year's obsolete model to buy a new model . Maybe I'll take that opportunity to buy their obsolete model for 1/2 of what they paid . They make a great bow . The best ? That's in the hands of the shooter .

I can't decide what bow to put in the bow case tomorrow ? The Kodiak Outdoors Titan 34 , PSE Mach X , or the Mathews LX . :confused: I shoot all of them well enough to put meat in the freezer .
