While a bare bow could have less shock and vibration, installing silencing components help to improve shootability significantly. Many shooters say this bow is an excellent choice provided... read full review 2010 Mathews Reezen 6.5 Brace Height 6.5 " AtA Length 32 " Draw Length 24 " - 30 " Draw Weight 40 lbs - 70 lbs IBO Speed 340 fps Weight 4.15 lbs Let-Off 80% Manufactured: 2009 - 2010 Specs were not changedUser rating: out of 6 reviewsMathews Monster Review The Bottom Line:The Mathews Monster is a fast and aggressive bow with a stiff draw cycle. While its short valley is something many archers will have to get used to, the back wall is very solid. While this is a super fast bow, it does have a notable hump closer to the end of the draw cycle.

While the valley is short and requires getting used to, the back wall is very solid. Being a very fast and aggressive bow, the Monster XLR8 is definitely not an all-around bow... read full review 2010 Mathews Monster XLR8 Brace Height 5 " AtA Length 33.5 " Draw Length 25 " - 30 " Draw Weight 40 lbs - 80 lbs IBO Speed 360 fps Weight 4.4 lbs Let-Off 80% Manufactured: 2009 - 2010 Specs were not changedUser rating: out of 6 reviewsMathews Reezen 7.0 Review The Bottom Line:The Mathews Reezen 7.0 is a fast single cam bow that needs to be properly equipped to deliver good shootability characteristics. While a bare bow could have less shock and vibration, installing silencing components help to improve shootability significantly. With its aggressive eccentric system, this... read full review 2010 Mathews Reezen 7.0 Brace Height 7 " AtA Length 32 " Draw Length 24.5 " - 30.5 " Draw Weight 40 lbs - 70 lbs IBO Speed 335 fps Weight 4.1 lbs Let-Off 80% Manufactured: 2009 - 2010 Specs were not changedUser rating: out of 2 reviewsMathews Drenalin LD Review The Bottom Line:Introduced in 2008, the Mathews Drenalin LD is a light and fast compound bow with a great slim feel specifically designed for archers with longer draw lengths. It's one of the lightest bows on the market thanks to its enhanced limb design. As a result, this bow is a great choice for those who cover a... read full review 2010 Mathews Drenalin LD Brace Height 7 " AtA Length 37 " Draw Length 26 " - 31 " Draw Weight 40 lbs - 70 lbs IBO Speed 315 fps Weight 4.15 lbs Let-Off 65% or 80% Manufactured: 2008 - 2010 Specs were not changedUser rating: out of 16 reviewsMathews DXT Review The Bottom Line:The Mathews DXT is a very lightweight and maneuverable bow capable of producing fast IBO speeds. While this rig is not as smooth as some of the smoothest Mathews single cam bows, the DXT is reported to have a nice smooth draw cycle with a solid back wall. Outfitted with durable limbs and comfortable... read full review 2010 Mathews DXT Brace Height 7 " AtA Length 29.75 " Draw Length 24 " - 30 " Draw Weight 40 lbs - 70 lbs IBO Speed 326 fps Weight 3.75 lbs Let-Off 80% Manufactured: 2008 - 2010 Specs changed, see full specs User rating: out of 14 reviewsMathews Drenalin Review The Bottom Line:The Mathews Drenalin is a fast, light, and compact bow with a unique slim feel. Even though the Drenalin entered the market in 2007 it continues to remain one of the lightest bows on the market due to its advanced limb design. Despite its low weight the bow's limbs hold up to torque very well even at... read full review 2009 Mathews Drenalin Brace Height 7 " AtA Length 33 " Draw Length 25 " - 30 " Draw Weight 40 lbs - 70 lbs IBO Speed 320 fps Weight 3.85 lbs Let-Off 65% or 80% Manufactured: 2007 - 2009 Specs were not changedUser rating:no user reviewsMathews Switchback LD Review The Bottom Line:Designed specifically for long draw shooters, the Mathews Switchback LD is a high quality bow from the Mathews Switchback series. While this bow is not a speed monster (only 295 fps), it is very quiet, smooth, and extremely forgiving due to its longer axle to axle length and generous brace height.

The speed gives plenty of energy for hunting and the easy of shooting will make it fun to shoot out on the 3D course. Draw length specific cams hurt the value of this bow since changing cams frequently may begin... read full review 2009 Mathews Mustang Brace Height 5.75 " AtA Length 31 " Draw Length 19 " - 26 " Draw Weight 20 lbs - 50 lbs IBO Speed 280 fps - fps Weight 3.2 lbs Let-Off 70% Manufactured: 2004 - 2009 Specs changed, see full specs User rating: out of 15 reviewsMathews Switchback XT Review The Bottom Line:The Mathews Switchback XT is a superior quality bow from the Mathews Switchback series. This is a very quiet, compact, and forgiving bow. When it comes to shootability this rig is even smoother than the original legendary Switchback. A short 31" axle-to-axle length makes it the ideal bow for both tree... read full review 2008 Mathews Switchback XT Brace Height 7.5 " AtA Length 31 " Draw Length 25 " - 30 " Draw Weight 40 lbs - 70 lbs IBO Speed 315 fps Weight 4.25 lbs Let-Off 65% or 80% Manufactured: 2006 - 2008 Specs were not changedUser rating: out of 20 reviewsMathews Switchback Review The Bottom Line:The Mathews Switchback entered the market in 2005 and continues to be one of the best smooth bows ever since. Many hunters strongly agree this bow is one of the smoothest bows available on the market. With the very low levels of vibration and noise, the Switchback is smooth and fast at the same time.... read full review 2007 Mathews Switchback Brace Height 7 " AtA Length 33 " Draw Length 25 " - 30 " Draw Weight 40 lbs - 70 lbs IBO Speed 318 fps Weight 4.34 lbs Let-Off 65% or 80% Manufactured: 2005 - 2007 Specs were not changedUser rating:no user reviewsMathews Classic Review The Bottom Line:The Mathews Classic is the forgiving, low-maintenance single-cam hunter of the mid-2000s Mathews line, and time has been kind to what it set out to do. Launched at $589 MSRP and built unchanged from 2004 through 2007, it pairs a long 36-inch axle-to-axle and a tall 7-inch brace with a 3.6-pound carry... read full review 2007 Mathews Classic Brace Height 7 " AtA Length 36 " Draw Length 27 " - 31 " Draw Weight 40 lbs - 70 lbs IBO Speed 310 fps - 312 fps Weight 3.6 lbs Let-Off 80%/65% Manufactured: 2004 - 2007 Specs were not changedUser rating:no user reviewsMathews Black Max 2 Review The Bottom Line:The Mathews Black Max 2 was the speed conscience of a lineup better known for silence - a 330+ fps Solocam (340+ with the Turbo MaxCam) built on a 5.5-inch brace that, against every expectation, shoots like a sleeper. As a discontinued model it lives entirely on the used market now, typically trading... read full review 2007 Mathews Black Max 2 (Black MaxCam) Brace Height 5.5 " AtA Length 36 " Draw Length 25 " - 30 " Draw Weight 40 lbs - 70 lbs IBO Speed 330 fps Weight 3.5 lbs Let-Off 60% or 80% Manufactured: 2003 - 2007 Specs changed, see full specs User rating: out of 4 reviewsMathews Outback Review The Bottom Line:At a $729 launch MSRP when it was new in 2004, the Outback was a flagship-tier Mathews hunting bow; today it is one of the better values on the used market, routinely trading for a few hundred dollars in clean condition. What that buys is a 31.5-inch, 4.3-pound single-cam hunter with a tall forgiving... read full review 2006 Mathews Outback Brace Height 7.5 " AtA Length 31.5 " Draw Length 26 " - 30 " Draw Weight 40 lbs - 70 lbs IBO Speed 308 fps - 310 fps Weight 4.3 lbs Let-Off 65% or 80% Manufactured: 2004 - 2006 Specs changed, see full specs User rating:no user reviewsMathews Ovation Review The Bottom Line:The Mathews Ovation is a purpose-built target and 3D bow that has aged into a genuine value on the used market, where clean examples now trade in the low hundreds - a lot of proven tournament accuracy for the money. Its headline numbers were never about speed: a 300 to 302 fps IBO rating, a 40-inch axle-to-axle,... read full review 2006 Mathews Ovation Brace Height 8.125 " AtA Length 40 " Draw Length 28 " - 32 " Draw Weight 40 lbs - 70 lbs IBO Speed 300 fps - 302 fps Weight 4.5 lbs Let-Off 80% Manufactured: 2004 - 2006 Specs changed, see full specs User rating:no user reviewsMathews LX Review The Bottom Line:The Mathews LX is a classic worth understanding on its own terms: a 2003-2004 SoloCam that now trades used for $100 to $325, built on a long 35-inch machined riser with a perimeter-weighted single cam rated 315-317 IBO. Its lasting appeal is not speed - it is the combination that first-rate single cams... read full review 2004 Mathews LX Brace Height 6.625 " AtA Length 35 " Draw Length 25 " - 30 " Draw Weight 40 lbs - 70 lbs IBO Speed 315 fps - 317 fps Weight 4.25 lbs Let-Off 80% or 65% Manufactured: 2003 - 2004 Specs were not changedUser rating: out of 15 reviewsMathews Legacy Review The Bottom Line:The Mathews Legacy is a quality hunting bow that was (and still is) very popular among hunters. Although the Legacy could be a bit lighter and faster, it's a very good shooter: quiet, smooth, and forgiving. Despite it's been discontinued by Mathews, this rig is still very popular and is a hot seller... read full review 2004 Mathews Legacy Brace Height 7.5 " AtA Length 34 " Draw Length 24 " - 30 " Draw Weight 40 lbs - 70 lbs IBO Speed 308 fps Weight 4.35 lbs Let-Off 70% Manufactured: 2002 - 2004 Specs were not changedUser rating: out of 7 reviewsMathews FX Review The Bottom Line:The Mathews FX is a quality hunting bow at a very reasonable price. While the FX is not the quietest bow out there, installing a decent silencing package will make it quiet enough for hunting. Admittedly, the FX is a good shooting and accurate hunting bow. However, it is not as good as some of the modern... read full review 2004 Mathews FX (MaxCam) Brace Height 7.5 " AtA Length 34 " Draw Length 27 " - 31 " Draw Weight 40 lbs - 70 lbs IBO Speed 308 fps Weight 3.3 lbs Let-Off 65% or 80% Manufactured: 2000 - 2004 Specs changed, see full specs User rating: out of 8 reviewsMathews Q2 Review The Bottom Line: no editors' review yetUser Reviews: just another great bow on the Matthews lineup..
