WOW, I'm seriously wondering how much shooting experience you have and how many different hunting rigs you've owned? Thats just a very odd opinion considering that the Z7 is a totally unique shooting experience compared to ANY bow I've previously owned. Every season I look forward to owning a new rig or two and honestly, I never really expect them to change much.... however the Z7 is a different breed! It's a perfect blend of Mathews models that form what can only be described as their best effort to date. What exactly about the Z7 did you feel was "like any other bow" ??? Just curious

Consider yourself lucky that you actually got 2 seasons out of them. Everyone else I know didn't get 1 full seasons use. They are comfortable ligtweight bows but just not made to shed water! Far to over-priced!

With Turkey season right around the corner, it's not so painful that the deer season is over. Also, you can head to the Pro Shop and shoot some video archery as well. Techno Shoot is awesome and at times can seem nearly as fun as the real thing!
