Summary
Summary review written by our editors.

The TRG 9 is an awesome target bow with the potential for longer draw shooters to use as a multipurpose bow based on the limited availability of offerings. The 9-inch brace height is very forgiving, but slows down the speed of the bow to an IBO rated 301 feet per second. The TRG 9 is heavy to start, and has the potential to get significantly heavier with added accessory weight and stabilizers. The perfect balance of the bare bow is nice, but the overall mass may be too much for some. The No Cam ST is easy to tune and easy to shoot, which is great news for those needing a bow to earn money in tournaments. The $1799 price tag is a lot of money to part with for a bare bow, but for those winning money through target archery, it may not be an issue. The TRG will be tough to track down based on the large price tag and relatively limited demand; so shooting one before buying it will be tricky. Die-hard Mathews shooters should appreciate the upgrade from the beloved Dominator though because the TRG 9 is a great shooter. Read full review...

The TRG 8 is a brand new style of target bow for Mathews in 2015. Their popular rigs in the past have performed well, but the TRG 8 promises to be a well-designed model for those wanting higher scores from a great performance bow. The No Cam ST has a favorable draw cycle, and is engineered to almost eliminate tuning issues. The TRG 8 is a heavy rig, even for a target bow, but the perfectly balanced bare bow feel may be exactly what some shooters are interested in. The MSRP of $1799 is a lot of money for a bare bow, but for those needing an extra competitive edge to put them on the winner's podium, the money may be well spent. For a target bow, the TRG 8 is a great option. Read full review...
