Bow shopping Question? Mathews

[Daniel75]

One side note: I shot the Insanity CPX and that thing is SMOKING fast. It was set at 70#, 28"DL and Easton DOA Flatlines and it clocked 319 fps on the chrono. I'm currently selling things to pay for it The only thing (and it's a big thing) I'm second guessing is the problems they've had with limbs flaking. They'll replace them but....you shouldn't have to. Good luck in your search.

My limbs flaked, but mine was off the first run that dealers received at the ATA show in January. My Bow at 28.5" and 61# is shooting a 390 grain gold tip 298 fps. My Z7 at 68# and same dl was shooting 285. Fyi

I shoot a z7x and could quite possibly be my best purchase. It really depends on how you like how it feels on you. I bought mine from a member on archerytalk but have heard that allstar in lewisville is knowledgeable and very helpful. Another place you might want to take a look at is the bow shop in alvarado. A buddy of mine makes slings for them and they are an authorized dealer for mission/mathews and their service is A+

Did you get them replaced?

I haven't yet, no. A drive to RBO is almost 3 hours so I won't worry about it until after season is over, but they have since corrected the problem and any bows made after first run shouldn't have the issue is what I've been told and seen

I'll be heading there myself but I can't wait until the season is over. It'll be a week or 2 from now.

He's definitely the one to go to. There's a BT dealer in Detroit up here 13 miles away but they're idiots. I only trust Jerry now

[muddyfuzzy]

elite is the best "all around" bow in the line-up you listed. when you take the draw cycle, back wall and speed into account i think it offers the best of all worlds. its not the fastest, shortest ata or lightest but they flat out roll.

I use Big O's for all my archery needs. Wouldn't use anyone else

Wait until next week when the new Mathews come out.

Been to all except the Gainsville shop, all very good techs. All treated me very fairly. Redndk Booda has also treated me very fair and Jerry is a great tech as well.

Dont know where you are but if you dont mind a drive, call Davenports in OK. Be sure you tell them you will be driving several hours and see what they can do price wise.

Edit - Sorry - dbl post for some reason.

As for were to buy or what shop, I have used Allstar in Lewisville friendly and knowledgeable. Big O's has less than bankers hours only open several hours a day on odd days would call ahead if you can catch them there. Cinnamon Creek in Argyle, TX has everything you need at least 3 of the bows you mentioned plus over 300 others to choose from, archery is their business, indoor range, 3D range and even 1 on 1 instruction if needed. Ask for Dyren he is a personal friend and will give an honest opinion on what you want.
