Compound Bow Comparator

The MR8 offers arrow speeds up to 330 feet per second without sacrificing brace height like other speed bows. The draw is very nice and easy to adjust to. Shooters will find it very easy to get used to the forgiving 8-inch brace height as well. The 4.45-pound bare bow may be a little heavy for some shooters, but after adjusting to the weight, it can feel a bit more stable to hold steady on the target. With draw length adjustment from 27.5 - 33-inches, long draw shooters have a really great option. Although the cams need to be changed to adjust the draw length, shooters purchasing this bow, should be properly fitted at their archery shop. Draw weight also has a large range of adjustability from maximum draw weights of 50-80 pounds as well. Regardless of shooters intentions, the MR8 is a smooth shooting bow that deserves a test shot for anyone in the market for a new bow. Read full review...

The Mathews McPherson Series MR7, which retails for $999.00, sets the bar high for a shootable speed bow. Many shooters flocked to the M7 last year with the characteristics that set it apart from other bows, even the other bows in the Monster Series. The MR7 still has the blazing speed, the forgiving brace height, the great balance, but it is what it doesn't have that makes this bow that much better. Gone is the slight hump in the draw cycle and, even more importantly, so is the hand shock and vibration. This bow easily has its place on the 3D course or in the woods due to all its great features. Mathews states that the MR7 has power and control in one package, they are absolutely right. Read full review...
