Compound Bow Comparator

Mathews has a formula that works well for them and their customer base. The 2018 Triax is another take on a compact hunting bow, where engineers were focused on making the Triax as invisible as passible. The tagline "Stealth is Lethal" truly rings through with the latest from Mathews for 2018. On paper, the Triax seems to be just another compact hunting bow. However, the feel, balance, draw, and after the shot dynamics of the Triax make it something many shooters are going to become believers about. Mathews has created another maneuverable hunting bow, built for diehard bow hunters to take to the woods with them this fall. With performance up to 343 feet per second, a proven cam system, and a 28-inch axel-to-axel measurement, the Triax is going to get the nod for tons of shooters in 2018. The 6-inches of draw length adjustment in addition to the amazing finish options should help off set the $1099 suggested retail price and 4.4-pound bare weight measurement. Shooters wanting the best in short axel to axel bow technology from an industry giant, should have exactly what they are looking for in the Mathews Triax. Read full review...

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...
