Mathews Bow Reviews

The Bottom Line:Mathews Title 40 refines the target bow formula with Limb Shift and deflexed engineering, yielding a platform of exceptional stability that elevates competitive edges. Incremental advancements over the TRX series compound into meaningful gains in damping and tunability, justifying its role among pros.... read full review

The Bottom Line:The 2025 Mathews Title 34 is the fastest and most aggressive Title ever made, but it is also the least forgiving and most polarizing. It delivers genuine speed that few pure target bows can match, yet sacrifices the relaxed, dead-in-hand feel that made the Title series famous. At the same $1,599 as the... read full review

The Bottom Line:Mathews' Title 38 polishes the target archetype with Limb Shift precision and deflexed poise, carving a niche for competitors chasing incremental edges in stability. Evolutions from the inaugural Title-refined damping and grip modularity-accumulate into a cohesive performer, yet persistent grip gripes... read full review

The Bottom Line:Mathews' Title 36 hones the competitive blueprint via Limb Shift acuity and deflexed equilibrium, securing a foothold for archers pursuing refined handling in mid-frame bows. Refinements from prior iterations-bolstered damping and grip interchangeability-coalesce into a potent ensemble, tempered by grip... read full review

The Bottom Line:This is the longest version of the popular TRX series of bows, and is going to be an amazing paper league rig. The TRX 40 is a high performance target bow with a forgiving platform and brace height to allow shooters the absolute best performance of forgiveness possible. For $1849, the potential buyers... read full review

The Bottom Line:This is the most valuable bow ever made by Mathews and it has the assets to prove it.The AVS cam system, the Honeycomb Core Technology throughout, and the AfricanWood Inlays are the biggest differences that gives the Safari its value. The dual cam bowproduces awesome speed and power. It is comfortable... read full review

The Bottom Line:Mathews has now created a target bow for every single style of competitive compound archery with absolutely no compromises made. Those wanting a 3D target bow will love the speed, size, and shootability available from the brand new TRX 36. It is packed with features 3D archers love, and is unapologetically... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Stoke is one of the most feature packed youth bows on the market. It literally has the flagship Mathews Crosscentric cam system as the driving force of the rig, and the rest of the bow fits the bill of being a high-end adult hunting bow. The $999 price tag is high end as well, but considering the... read full review

The Bottom Line:Mathews has created another legendary hunting bow with the VXR platform, and the 31.5 has the potential to be the favorite of the two models offered for 2020. The slightly longer axle-to-axle measurement, and the amazingly long riser length make the VXR 31.5 one of the most compact, stable bows ever... read full review

The Bottom Line:Mathews has perfected the compact hunting bow, and continues to make fine tune adjustments year after year in order to release a product better than the previous. Although these changes may not seem like much from one year to the next, over time, the changes become significant. The line between success... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Traverse is a winner all around. Yes, it has an older style cam system, and it weighs more than other comparable size bows. However, the cam style is a beloved Mathews cam with proven performance and results, and the added weight will help the firm hold on target and will be hardly noticeable in... read full review

The Bottom Line:The TX-5 is a Mathews bow specifically designed for shorter draw archers in mind. Although some will look at the TX-5 and say it is nothing more than a Triax with a 5-inch brace height, those interested in the extra speed are not going to care too much about what the TX-5 resembles. The Triax was a popular... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Triax was appreciated by almost every shooter laying hands on the bow last year out of the Mathews factory in Sparta, Wisconsin for being the most quiet and vibration free bow they ever felt. Many said this was the best it could get. However, Mathews engineers took this as a challenge, and produced... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Avail is a great bow choice with the serious female shooter in mind. Ladies have a decent selection of bows, but the selection gets smaller when considering bows designed specifically for ladies, and ones with top of the line technologies. The Avail offers everything the flagship Mathews bows offer,... read full review

The Bottom Line: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,... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Halon X is a nice addition to the 2016 Mathews lineup giving shooters wanting a bit longer axel to axel measurement an option to go with. Many folks like shooting different styles of archery, which keeps them shoot reps all year round. The Halon X allows shooters the ability to shoot the exact... read full review
