no one has seen or touched the 360 monster its actually the xlr8 with a 5" brace height the only monster that has been seen is the 6" monster and its ibo rating is 350 they should be in shops in feb but they havent set a release date on the 360 one yet so it may be a while before you see it. But i highly reccomend you shooting it before ordering if you have never shot one of these new speed bows before they have different draw cyclebowhunter07 said:

I don't know guy's the ad says:
"The Fastest, Most Efficient Dual Cam Ever Built!" <note the exclaimation point.
And it also say's:
"Unleash the Monster� today to see what happens when power meets precision."
It's actually a good looking bow, they would have to change the name before I paid that kind of money for it tho.

A bow is only as accurate as the archer shooting it .

Why? You can't shoot a 6 inch brace height bow?
Mine has been ordered since the day they were released.
People want fast bows. Nothing wrong with fast bows. But most people aren't really prepared to open the door to speed when it comes down to it. Precise tuning of a bow becomes very critical as you get into the 300+ fps range and there in lies the problem. 98% of accuracy problems come from a bow that's not set up right...and in the past, our bows were just shooting an average of 280-290 fps. Now that we've gone 330+, every little thing that's not setup right on the bow is gonna be magnified. It's not that the shooters can't shoot them...it's that most people don't know how to tune them and the faster bows just magnify it more. Especially when you put a broadhead on the front of an arrow.
I know a guy that does order the new Mathews bow every year.
He ordered the DXT before he ever saw it.
I'm a Mathews fan,but that is nuts.
I prefer efficiency in a bow over anything.
Learn to shoot an efficient bow,and you are there.

I don't know any archers that bought the X force,but can't shoot it well. However it is not dobut true.
IMO these people were only thinking speed,and overlooking everything else.
I shoot a much slower Drenalin at 60#,but I am killing deer,and none of the deer I killed were missed because my arrow was too slow.
I did just flat out miss 2 shot this seaon because I shot too high,but that is me making the mistake, and not anything to do with the bow.
Good point.

IMO the newer faster bows are not any harder to tune than any other that is if you do them all correct in the first place. The dual cam is also no harder than then single cam a twist here and a twist there no different whatsoever. The only problem is the strings that used to be used on the dual cams they would stretch and come out of tune which is a bit more noticeable than a single cam. With the new prestretched strings the coming out of tune is almost nonexistant now a days.
I thought Mathews sold bows because of single cam technology.
Why the dual cams now?
IMO they just change stuff that works for no other reason than they feel compelled to come out with new bows every year.
Even if it's not an improvement.

It's all about market trends . They were losing sales to the companies that produced hybrid cam bows that were gaining more speed , and unfortunately speed is a driving force in bow sales .
I haven't shot the bow , so I can't comment on the draw cycle .
I refuse to fall into the keeping up with the latest new bow trap, with all the marketing crap.
As long as my bow doesn't break something and I have to replace it, I'll keep what I have.
I hunt with 60# limbs and take shots out to 35 yds.
Seems to be getting the job done for my hunting as is.

I don't know about market share by any "real" data, but my perception is that Mathews did miss an opportunity by not having a speed bow and addressed it this year. They started the Mission line to provide a more economical solution to a market they were missing and now they've started the McPherson line to deal with another market they were missing.
It boils down to expanding the business to meet more archer's wants.
They forgot the target archers this year though.

The solo cam was this same "bow trap" you are refering to things get better and the technology keeps improving too a few years back the speed bows was verry unforgiving to shoot i agree thats not the case with these new bows
Yea. Now you can get speed and forgiveness as technology improves.
Reminds me of the UTgrad post about him having trouble drawing 60#.
Wonder if it is easier to draw my Drenalin because of the rollergard?
Is this possible?
I know it's subjective but i'm age 51 and weigh 172 lbs.
I'm lean but not pumping iron or in great shape.
It's easy to draw my bow,and I'm assuming Utgrad is closer to his prime than I am.
Maybe not.

I don't think it has anything to do with his bow. When you pull a bow back with a wrist release you use muscles you don't rarely use or something. You have to get used to it. I have a friend that is stouter than me and he really struggles to get one of my bows, which I draw fine, back with a release.
