Summary
Summary review written by our editors.

While the Reezen 6.5 is a very fast single cam bow, it is often described as a bow with a relatively stiff draw cycle. While a bare bow could have less shock and vibration, installing silencing components help to improve shootability significantly. Many shooters say this bow is an excellent choice provided it is tuned and adjusted properly. Not ideal for beginners (due to its aggressive eccentric system), the Reezen 6.5 is a much better choice for experienced shooters who like speed bows and are used to stiffer draw cycles.

The Mathews Z7 is a unique bow that effectively bridges the gap between speed and smoothness. With a forgiving brace height and efficient single cam eccentric system, this bow is a top performer and has a relatively smooth draw cycle. Equipped with a very effective silencing package, the Z7 is a quiet bow with minimal jump and vibration. While the draw length is not adjustable without changing the cam, the proprietary Mathews QCA system simplifies changing the cams significantly. Although the Z7's unique and fresh riser is very light and efficient, some archers are not sure about its appearance. At 30" axle-to-axle length, this lightweight rig is a great choice for tree stand and blind hunters or those hunters who cover a lot of ground carrying the bow all day long. Read full review...
