Version: 2001 Mathews Q2
Pros: Compact, fast enough, quite with the right arrows, smooth draw, generous brace height, durable for the field.
Cons: They don’t make it anymore. Not for the 3D range
If you want a hunting bow that that’s a rock solid performer that doesn’t need to be pampered Q2’s are pretty good as many of the other solo cams were. Excellent grip, not to heavy to carry all day and great in tree stand or on the ground.
Version: 2000 Mathews Q2
Pros: Its compact, light, and quiet with heavy arrows. Performs flawlessly every time.
Cons: They don't make it anymore. Hard to get parts if needed.
Feels great in my hand and has good balance. Shoots 450 grain arrows at 285fps and does it so quietly that I have taken multiple deer with it at one time meaning when I shot the first one the other continued to stand there until I could reload and take aim again. Speed means nothing compared to kinetic energy. Especially at 40 yds or less.
Version: 2000 Mathews Q2
Pros: Accurate! short, and tough
Cons: a little heavy
Awesome bow. I have killed more deer and hogs than I can remember since iv's the 12 years I've owned this bow. Accurate and tough as nails. When I bought this bow, it was the lightest and smallest bow going. You can't go wrong with this bow.
Version: 2000 Mathews Q2
Pros: Properly set up it is timeless. plenty fast and easy to shoot.
Cons: nothing
This bow is my favorite compound after 17 years. I have hunted across the county, in all kinds of weather, without a single problem. The wood handle keeps your hands from the cold and provides a good grip.
Version: 2000 Mathews Q2
Pros: Good weight,fast,accurate,feels good in the hand at full draw. Great finish and very well made.
Cons: I am currently waiting for a new cam being made.Due to injury I have to shorten my draw length.A new cam is very expensive. It also takes ages to come from the USA.
This bow is relatively easy to set up. Unfortunately you can't adjust the draw length on the cam. Once set up correctly, it is sweet to shoot. I have no intention of replacing this bow in the near future. If I can get back to shooting MB scores I will be delighted.
Version: 2003 Mathews Q2
Pros: VERY quiet, smooth draw back. Super accurate bow as well.
Cons: Draw let off could be a little higher but not bad for the time. Not too many cons.
I bought this bow this year (2016) from a relative. I have the SQ2 so it's a little newer than this version(maybe 2004??) I had a 95' Hoyt Fastflite that I shot for YEARS but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get this bow. Very high quality, previous owner had a bum shoulder so he couldn't pull it back anymore but said this bow was one of the best he's had and I can see why. The first time I shot it, I couldn't believe how quiet it was. He had some of the Mathews "monkey tail" string silencers on there and limb savers as well. This probably has something to do with it. I will probably have this bow for a while. If you are a newer bow hunter and don't want to drop a thousand dollars on a bow w/accessories, look for a Q2 or an SQ2. Happy hunting!
Version: 2001 Mathews Q2
Pros: I'm a small women and it fits me great
Cons: String noise is bad.deer jump the string often. Tried everything but nothing helps much.
This is A VERY accurate bow.it fits smaller people very good.deer jump string often and I have tried a lot of silencers and none helped the situation, if someone has a cure please let me know.
This bow is made of the finest quality of materials and workmanship. I an glad to be a proud owner of a Mathews Q2 bow.
Version: 2003 Mathews Q2
Pros: the Matthews single cam design offers a smooth accurate clean shot that is on time every time.
Cons: is a little bit bigger than some of the newer compound bows.70% let off
this bow is over 10 years old has seen many many hardwoods many many pine trees and many many deer gone down. when they made this 1 they made it for life I bought mine used 5 years ago and has been a necessity when I go in the woods ever since when I am NOT hunting I am target practicing. this though is this continued but offers superior quality. maybe a little heavier and a little help here then some of your newer models 70 percent let off leaves you holding 30 percent of the draw weight. overall great bow.
