I can remember when no one I knew who was serious about archery would be caught dead shooting a Mathews. Looks like they may have made a few improvements since then.

Same bow built for 54lbs. shoots right at 188fps with my hunting arrows, I bought this bow back in 1990 when they were still hand made.
Also have a brand new CSS in the hard case shot it twice sighting it in, liked my recurve more and put it away.Spent over $900 for it withe the acc.and never really used it.
Anyone need a custom made compound made long for a finger shooter. Bow,quiver sights,rest,hard case $600+shipping?

Ha! To put it mildly! They are THE dominant archery company in the industry, both in competitive archery as well as hunting. They revolutionized the entire industry on cam, riser, limb and bow accessory design like no other company before or since. The current long riser/ short, almost parallel limb design trend most bow companies now use was pioneered by Mathews. Mathews, Hoyt, Bowtech, PSE... all the majors put out good bows; it's all a matter of what you like. |

I was very glad to see this. Obviously competition improves the breed.

In my opinion, I think the name of the forum should be changed to "Archery" instead, as that's more all-encompassing to include all the gear associated with bows.

Reluctantly switched to a Matthews this yr. I've been a Hoyt fan for yrs and still am but, I didn't like anything Hoyt had out this yr. Matthews had a few that weren't so dog gone ugly and I found a good deal on a Hyperlite that I couldn't pass up. No regrets though. This bow is every bit as good as my old hoyt and just a little bit more forgiving. Another plus is it is lighter than anything Hoyt had out too. With the left shoulder messed up that made the difference on wether I would be able to even hunt with a bow anymore. In fact it is light enough that I can get by without the Steadyready I had been depending on. If Hoyt ever brings the Havoc back I may go back to a Hoyt but, if not this Hyperlite is one I would certainly recommend. Counting the days to bow season.
Can hardly wait!

Good, Got the range ready for some shootin. Just have to finish the shootin bench so we can do better than the bag of corn rest.
I've gotta get my new arrow shafts ordered so they'll be ready by Sept. Been expermentin with the 2" Blazer vanes and have to say I'm impressed. Thinkin I might cut some feathers to match em and hunt those this yr. They appear to be a tad faster and maybe even a little flatter.
Lovin this Matthews, it handles alot better since I've got use to the grip. Doing most all my practicin at 50yds. Got it sighted to 100yds last week. Boy shootin that far really tests your disapline and trigger control. I actually pulled two over the target and made me really focus to keep em in a six inch circle. I have enough sight left to possibly get 140yds. out of her but, don't know if I'll bother to do so. Unfortunatly my back and shoulder keep me from practicing like I want to.
Have you decided what broadhead you will hunt with? Just curious, I'll be slingin those Muzzy's as usual.

I have been practicing with the muzzy 4 blades but seasons still a few months away to say for sure. Really like the reviews of the tekens and the bloodrunners.

I really like Wac Em broadheads for a long range/ high velocity bow setup. Most guys, myself included, find they fly true without extensive tuning. Just spin 'em on and go shooting!
