The bow stacks arrows at 80 yards like it was shooting at 40 yards. Super accurate.

Version: 2004 Mathews Ovation

Rating:

Pros: Greatest bow Matthews ever made.

Cons: My ONLY regret about buying this bow is I’m too old to skin a buck and load it in the truck.

Some people think this bow is restricted to be a target bow.
I guess it probably is if you’re not able to carry a weapon in the field that weighs 4.9 lbs.
It is comparatively heavy bu5 most guys who hunt can deal with the weight. If that’s not true then I feel sorry for our US Military cause most long arm weapons exceed that weight.
Hands down if you give this bow to a person of normal strength its a dream. You can train to shoot as well ss a rifle under 100 yards.

Super accurate, big and heavy, comparably slow

Version: 2005 Mathews Ovation

Rating:

Pros: Way ahead of its time for accuracy, I could always stack arrows and Robin Hoods happened more than I enjoyed. Longer A to A made it easy to shoot for a longer draw (31.5) and good string angle.

Cons: Bow is heavy and large, not a drawback for target but cumbersome when hunting.

Full review:

This bow is shooter friendly and very forgiving, a great bow for target or 3D, good for beginners to learn with, it’s size makes it formidable to take into the field for hunting. I need to enter 19 more characters in order to submit this reviews, so there you go.
