Compound Bow Comparator

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 not seem like much, the bow is still considered a more compact hunting bow, and the string angle produced, especially with the large cam system will fit on the shooters face better than the 30-inch model did. The price tag is high at $1099, but it is competitive with other flagship bows on the market for 2017. The new camo options offered by Mathews are amazing, and welcomed additions to the lineup as well. The added weight of the bare bow at 4.73-pounds is heavy, but it does not feel heavy while shooting. The added weight is going to be more noticeable while carrying the bow around, but should actually be beneficial in getting shooters to hold a bit steadier while actually shooting. The Halon 32 series has a bow for every kind of shooter, and the 7-inch model is a great one for those just wanting a forgiving bow and acceptable performance. It is hard to find anything wrong with the Halon 32 7, but the decision to purchase the bow should be made after spending some time shooting it to make sure it feels as great as it looks.

The Halon 32 when paired with the 6-inch brace height is a great hunting bow! There is added stability with the longer axel to axel measurement, IBO speeds reaching 343 feet per second, and some amazing looking camo patterns to really make shooters interested in the purchase of a new Mathews for 2017. The Halon 32 is priced well for a top of the line bow, but the $1099 price tag is still difficult for some shooters to come up with. The added weight of a bare bow weighing in at 4.73-pounds should help shooters be a bit more calm holding on target. However, that extra weight could get old when backpacking long distances to stands or chasing elk in the mountains. The Halon 32 shoots great, and should be on the list of anyone wanting a truly awesome hunting bow. As with any archery purchase, it is always best to try the bow out head to head against some other choices to see which bow works best for each shooter. However, the Halon 32 is legit, and deserves a chance for a shootout. Read full review...
