Mathews TRX 40 Review

The Bottom Line:This is the longest version of the popular TRX series of bows, and is going to be an amazing paper league rig. The TRX 40 is a high performance target bow with a forgiving platform and brace height to allow shooters the absolute best performance of forgiveness possible.

Mathews Monster Safari Review

The Bottom Line:This is the most valuable bow ever made by Mathews and it has the assets to prove it.The AVS cam system, the Honeycomb Core Technology throughout, and the AfricanWood Inlays are the biggest differences that gives the Safari its value. The dual cam bowproduces awesome speed and power. It is comfortable... read full review

Mathews Stoke Review

The Bottom Line:The Stoke is one of the most feature packed youth bows on the market. It literally has the flagship Mathews Crosscentric cam system as the driving force of the rig, and the rest of the bow fits the bill of being a high-end adult hunting bow. The $999 price tag is high end as well, but considering the... read full review

Mathews VXR 31.5 Review

The Bottom Line:Mathews has created another legendary hunting bow with the VXR platform, and the 31.5 has the potential to be the favorite of the two models offered for 2020. The slightly longer axle-to-axle measurement, and the amazingly long riser length make the VXR 31.5 one of the most compact, stable bows ever... read full review

Mathews VXR 28 Review

The Bottom Line:Mathews has perfected the compact hunting bow, and continues to make fine tune adjustments year after year in order to release a product better than the previous. Although these changes may not seem like much from one year to the next, over time, the changes become significant. The line between success... read full review

Mathews Traverse

Mathews Traverse Review

The Bottom Line:The Traverse is a winner all around. Yes, it has an older style cam system, and it weighs more than other comparable size bows. However, the cam style is a beloved Mathews cam with proven performance and results, and the added weight will help the firm hold on target and will be hardly noticeable in... read full review

Mathews TX-5 Review

The Bottom Line:The TX-5 is a Mathews bow specifically designed for shorter draw archers in mind. Although some will look at the TX-5 and say it is nothing more than a Triax with a 5-inch brace height, those interested in the extra speed are not going to care too much about what the TX-5 resembles. The Triax was a popular... read full review

Mathews Vertix Review

The Bottom Line:The Triax was appreciated by almost every shooter laying hands on the bow last year out of the Mathews factory in Sparta, Wisconsin for being the most quiet and vibration free bow they ever felt. Many said this was the best it could get. However, Mathews engineers took this as a challenge, and produced... read full review

Mathews Avail Review

The Bottom Line:The Avail is a great bow choice with the serious female shooter in mind. Ladies have a decent selection of bows, but the selection gets smaller when considering bows designed specifically for ladies, and ones with top of the line technologies. The Avail offers everything the flagship Mathews bows offer,... read full review

Mathews Triax

Mathews Triax Review

The Bottom Line:Mathews has a formula that works well for them and their customer base. The 2018 Triax is another take on a compact hunting bow, where engineers were focused on making the Triax as invisible as passible. The tagline "Stealth is Lethal" truly rings through with the latest from Mathews for 2018. On paper,... read full review

Mathews Halon X Review

The Bottom Line: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... read full review

Mathews Conquest 4 Review

The Bottom Line:In short, the Mathews Conquest 4 is a high end target bow with the long ATA and good brace height that is very capable of putting up great scores in stiff competition. Also one of Mathews' lightest competition rigs it isn't a bare to walk around the ranges all day. It is very customizable to the specific... read full review

Mathews Halon 32 6 Review

The Bottom Line:The Halon 32 when paired with the 6-inch brace height is a great hunting bow!

Mathews Halon 32 7 Review

The Bottom Line:The Halon 32 with a 7-inch brace height shoots great, feels awesome, and should be a great bow on the 3D course or in the woods. There is not much new about the Halon 32, but the 2-inch extension in the axel-to-axel measurement is a highly anticipated design move for Mathews. Although two-inches does... read full review
