2011 Mathews are out...

[Texaskid82]

Is the Mathews Z that good of a bow that they had to go and make all thier bows the way they did? I have never shot one so I don't know. Are they that nice?

[Abu_dude]

If your referring to the Z7 it's one heck of a machine. I bought my Reezen about 3 months prior to it's release and now I wish I would have waited a little longer. If the new bow your talking about is the Safari, from what I understand it is in a new "honeycomb" pattern where the Z7 was the "waffle" pattern. Retail price on that Safari is suppose to be through the roof! Rough estimate from a local shop was close to $1200 I believe....not real sure on that though.

I will have to shoot them to make up my mind. I will defiantly be looking at the new EZ7 it looks great! The Z7 Xtreme is way to shot for my taste at 28 ata.

[SOTXBOWHUNTER]

They came out with whole line of z's. Z9 for long draw. Monter safari. Ez7. Z7 magnum and z7 extreme
Imo I think the z7 extreme riser looks lil bulky...

THat z7 extreme sounds pretty juicy.

[hopco.boy]

YAWN! Looks like the same bow over and over to me. Just a little different axle to axle or brace height. Guess maybe they were looking to cover all types of shooters.

X2 for once I'm not really impressed with the new ones.

[hopco.boy]

I'm with you. I'm not a Mathews hater, just not impressed.

[gig one]

Going to get my z7 today now im comfussed on witch one i want

[k9trainer]

Shoot them all and see which one ya like. I kinda liked what they did. They found a bow that is very impressive and tried to meet the needs of all different type of shooters. Not much difference in each, but might be enough for someone looking.

[Dusty Britches]

decisions, decisions.....

agreed - I Love the look and feel of the Z7's and all they did here was take that same platform and design a (z7) for different shooters to be comfortable with. I like it!

[txdukklr]

I have a z7 and think they used a great design to fill other needs.

I'll shoot a few, I'm getting a ninja bow this year so now I'll have a few options.

[cksweat678]
