I have a LH 70lb. 6.0 that I bought last year that is one sweet bow...used it on the elk in my avatar and had full penetration through both shoulders with a 100gr. Slick Trick.
Liked it so much that I bought a LH 80lb blacked out XLR8 a few weeks ago that had to be sent back at Matthews because of some big tuning issues. I have faith they will fix right as they have had a few hiccups lately.
Great price on the bow and good luck with it!

And anyone comtemplating getting a Monster 7.0 I'd HIGHLY advise reading through this thread... I got one from the Bow Zone and Richard tried everything to tune it. We sent it back to Mathews, and they supposedly changed the lower limbs... sent back center shot measurements that they recommended we start tuning with that when set up with their measurements, meant that the arrow was sitting WAY outside of true centershot... Richard finally was able to get it to shoot field points, but when we started on broadheads... it corkscrewed everything we tried. Changing the rest did not make the point of impact change with anything close to what would be expected... Mathews never did anything else for me. The Bow Zone stepped up and offered to swap it for any other bow I may want to try, or give me 100% of my money back... I wound up with a Destroyer 340, and so far am very satisfied with it.
Here's the link to a thread on the Mathews web site, and when you read through it, you will see that it does not only apply to leftys... If you get a good one, you're lucky, if not, unless your pro shop will stick by you... as far as Mathews is concerned, you're stuck with it.... Good luck.

just got home form the bow zone
went to the bow zone yesterday to have them tune my monster 7.0, didnt have time to shoot it there yesterday. I just got done from shooting it out back, the first set it at 20yd's and the second set is a 30yd's, and its pretty windy out, first time to shoot this bow at 30yd's shot all these arrow back to back no rest in between shots. i have it set at 68 1/2lbs after about 5 or 6 arrows it starts getting hard to hold. hahahaha....Last edited by fubarredz; 07-11-2010, 06:55 AM.

Just got my XLR8 back from Matthews after 3 weeks...they didnt send a spec sheet saying what they did to the bow but it came back shooting bullet holes. Your story had me worried but they were able to fix it.
