Summary
Summary review written by our editors.

The Halon 32 is offered in three separate configurations based on the brace height and performance. The 5-inch brace height is the best speed-wise clocking in at an IBO rated 350 feet per second. For shooters familiar with the 2016 Halon, the 2017 has all the same benefits and amazing technology with a more stable 32-inch axel-to-axel platform. Mathews hunting bows have historically been on compact side of things, with most being between 28-30 or so inches. It is refreshing to see a Mathews hunting bow stretched out a bit to 32-inches, which will allow a more stable platform, a better string angle, and a more comfortable bow overall for taller shooters. It is very tough to find anything wrong with the Halon 32 with a five-inch brace height. Shooters wanting a speed bow know they will have to shoot a shorter brace height, which can mean less forgiving. However, shooters wanting speed have already acknowledged and accepted that comes at a price. The heavy bow holds well, and has minimal noise and hand shock, but it can also be slightly cumbersome loaded with accessories and carted up and down mountains for miles a day. The price is fair at an MSRP listing of $1099, which is competitive with other top of the line rigs. However, those on a budget may have to save a little longer to end up owning this really great hunting bow. In the end, the decision to purchase the Halon 32 5 will need to be made by each shooter. This bow does deserve a closer look for the serious archer wanting top of the line equipment from an industry giant. Read full review...

The Halon 5 is another offering from Mathews that is sure to do well in the hunting world. The demand of many shooters wanting the shortest, fastest bow possible is something that has not changed the last few years, and Mathews has produced something those shooters are begging for. It is important to remember the Halon 5 is not for everyone, and it is important for shooters to experience how a bow feels firsthand before buying any bow. The Halon 5 combines the best of the smooth drawing No Cam and the Monster series speed in an offering that will be well suited for the woods. Those with a budget to accommodate an MSRP of $1099 with interest in a short axel to axel bow should get their hands on a Halon 5. Read full review...
