Mathews Halon X Compound Bow

The Halon X is a nice addition to the 2016 Mathews lineup giving shooters wanting a bit longer axel to axel measurement an option to go with. Many folks like shooting different styles of archery, which keeps them shoot reps all year round. The Halon X allows shooters the ability to shoot the exact same bow across target, 3D, and hunting, by simply swapping accessories. From a consistency standpoint keeping one bow to do everything is a good idea. It would also help justify the Halon X price of $1299 if shooters used the justification of only needing one bow for everything in 2016. Tipping the scales at just under 5-pounds, the Halon X is a heavy bow for anyone to cart around for a long period of time. It also may limit the amount of weight shooters can add to their bows with different accessories and stabilizers. With that being said, a "normal" weighted bow is 4-pounds, so a one-pound difference should most likely not be a deal breaker. The Halon X is a sweet bow for someone wanting to simplify their arsenal a bit and shoot one rig for everything. It shoots great, is backed by a giant in the industry, and has the ability to be customized for a shooter's individual feel. Those on the market for a real multi-purpose bow should give the Halon X a shot... read full review
