Summary
Summary review written by our editors.

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...

The Halon 6 should be a popular bow in the hunting world for Mathews. There are some shooters wishing to see a longer axel to axel flagship bow from Mathews, but the Monster Wake for 2015 may be close enough to a longer Halon for Mathews to even consider building one in the future. For those skeptical of the No Cam for 2015 based on the slightly sluggish speed, the Halon 6 should be considered an improvement with the engineering of that cam system combined with the beloved AVS cam system. The Halon 6 is a shooter, and despite its compact size, actually feels like a bigger bow than the amount of space it takes up. The weight will be a point many haters will gravitate towards, but in all honestly a few ounces should not make a giant difference in most situations. Those wanting a great performing bow from one of the most respected names in the business should give the Halon 6 a shot. Read full review...
