My new Mathews Halon 6!

[Rickym]

Got my new Halon 6 today! Can't wait to get it all setup!

 

[TNDeerGuy]

DANG!!!!!!!!! I guess that ends the waffle comments! :stir: :drool:

Congrats on a serious note—that thing looks similar to the Reezen riser with MR6 limbs. How does it shoot?

 

[Rickym]

The riser is really cool. Double caged, the limbs are super wide like on the Wake. Have to go to work so I haven't got it setup or shot yet. Haha

 

[infoman jr.]

I'll be looking pretty seriously at those next spring.

Mathews wins the looks award for 2016. Those bows are SHARP looking to the eyes. I've not shot one...it's a little too short A-A for me but I hope they keep the new look and just add a longer A-A bow like the ChillX to the line up. In fact, I may or may not have rejoined the "dark side" with a ChillX just recently

 

[Pinwheeled]

I have never been a Mathews fan but man do those look sharp. Any of you guys worked with that cam system much? Seems like it may be a pain to work on but I could be wrong.

Those look good. In 2 years I may have to try one once I can get one in my price range lol

That is sharp.....so sharp, I might have to look at one.

I absolutely love the name Halon.....what a awesome name for a bow.....

Remember Halon spelled backwards is No Longer A Heli

Put serious thought into trading my AR for one of these

Probably would require two AR15

Na I wouldn't give my Colt away lol...guns keep their value..bows always loose value...but I did think hard about it

I handled one yesterday at the shop. It was in the new version Lost camo...which looks a lot like the Mossy Oak Breakup-Country pattern with the pine needles and such. It looks good. Not as good as the black one pictured here though. In person, it looks like the Alpine bows from early 2000. That's what it reminded me of. I didn't shoot it...it was 30" draw and way too long to get a proper feel for. Rumor is...they have another bow or two to be revealed at the ATA show, and speculation is a longer A-A based on ChillX specs.

This bow has a very tactical look that's very appealing to the eye...I'm not sure if I like it the best looks wise because there are some beauties in this years line up...let us know how this thing performs and congrats on the new rig!!!

So true. A bow is worth half of what you pay for it next year. Unless you find a sucker on Archery Talk that is stupid enough to pay for it.

I like the sound of that. Chill-X is a really nice rig. I didn't think Mathews went to the ATA though. Don't they have their own deal for dealers and stuff?

I've never seen Mathews at the ATA. They have their own dealer show. I've never been but heard ppl talk that it was a bad azz show though.

Mathews will start attending the ATA show for 2016.

 

[Crow Terminator]

They will be at the 2016 ATA show. You are correct, in the last several years they have done their own thing and bypassed the ATA. But now social media has made the ATA show a whole new experience and newly revealed products generate a lot of buzz. They must have figured they could get more dealers to sign on and more interest in their bows by coming back to the ATA show.

Time to sell my chillR and step up! Buddy of mine shot one. Says they shoot better than they look

Man that is sweet

I shot a Halon today and the performance outweighs the looks. Finally I say "FINALLY" somebody got it right. The first bow that has both blazing speeds and is incredibly smooth. In the past when choosing a bow you had to pick speed or smoothness. I will promise you this is the smoothest bow of the many I have ever shot. The 63lb 27in draw floor model I shot streamed em down range at 335fps with not a least tiny bit of vibration. My buddy said he was getting close to 350 at 70lb with 30in draw. A dozen shots had me sold. Never been as excited to soon to be dialing in my own.

63 lbs. At a 27" draw shooting 335 ? Nowhere near what we are seeing them shoot . Even with an IBO weight arrow . I would like to see the set up and what weight arrow you all are shooting .

I understand the 70lber at 30" shooting close to 350 with an IBO weight arrow .

Sharp looking bow. I bet it shoots like a dream.

Agreed! At 27" & 63# it shouldn't be shooting 335 unless the arrow is lighter than 5 grs per lb.

Wah wah wah (cartoon trumpet fail sound)

335 at 27" 63lbs? Did you chrono a dry fired tooth pick?

 

[Poleaxe]

I'll find out.
