    What I miss most about my DXT is how light it was, how easy it was to carry and maneuver. I really enjoyed that bow. I really enjoy my XLR8 too but it's a little harder to hunt with than was the DXT. I really liked the Z7 when I shot it, but not enough to jump. Now with the 28" Z7 Extreme it's over. Can't live without that bow. I'll keep the XLR8 and score me one of these as quickly as I can. I wonder if the wife will let me sell her car to finance it?

              I've got the regular Z7 coming and still think it's the best fit for me...all them others are good for Mathews as they look to fit every body type out there...I've shot the Z7 and it definately is one smooth shootin' bow...

                  Most manufacturers are doing this these days - Look at Elite, Strothers, PSE, Bear, Hoyt, Bowtech, etc. . . . I am going to postulate that the issue is the current lineups are selling well, they introduced new technologies a year or two ago, and are milking that with new 'variations' on their hottest sellers. Biggest technology change I've seen come out is the carbon riser hoyts, but haven't seen those from the other manufacturers IMO b/c it really hasn't caught on that much yet. Would be willing to bet that they all have a carbon riser bow designed, and are waiting to release based on sales #'s of the hoyts.

                      actually i think it's what they've always done.

                      Hoyt came out with the cam.5 and then it was havoctec (30"), razortec (32"), ultra, hyper, and so on.

                      look at the bow and they were essentially the exact same bows with just a little bit of difference in the ata and riser design.

                              Don't understand why you need a ez draw version when everything everybody said the z7 is the smoothest bow on the planet.

                                I betcha he was talkin about the ATA not draw length. I too would like a new 35"-36" ATA bow with around a 6.5" brace height
