layin on the smackdown Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I'm afraid if i shoot that bow, the check book is gonna take a small beating.....I've heard alot of great things about the Z7, but i think i am going to have to stick with the Switchback xt one more year. Good luck with it Wobbly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodtrailer Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 ya that Z7 sure does sell itself. i went in february to shoot the destroyer 340/350, and after shooting the Z7 afterwards it nearly jumped in my truck bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohiobucks Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 A buddy of mine just bought one, he likes his alot. How much $$$? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhine16 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I shot the Z7 a few months ago. I really liked it to be honest, that was the first Matthews I've shot that i did. Will be sticking with the Hoyt though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobbly_Alaska Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 A buddy of mine just bought one, he likes his alot. How much $$$? here in Fairbanks $869.00 i am waiting for the Monster 7.0 also $869.00 to arrive this week dual cam with a little longer A-A then the Z7 also a little faster I want to give it a few rounds before i make the final jump... as i am not a tree stand hunter i dont need the short bows any more Hoyt? LOL never have cared for them... my pro shop owner tried to again and i played with a few and like my hand guns my bows need to fit just right...

hoosierhunter Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Mathews sure knows how to create a frenzy with a bow. I shot it last week and I will not be purchasing that bow. Honestly there is no difference between them or any other bow for that matter. IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD BOYS!!! Swear to god if I blindfolded everyone and had you shoot ten different bows you all would pick different ones....It's the same about why people will only drive a ford, chevy, dodge, etc....All in your head:hammer1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobbly_Alaska Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 LOL i will have to politely disagree, there is a huge difference in the draw,. recoil, and speed of a new bow over my older 2004. My martin still works fine, however has only 60% let off, is all decked out in shock absorbers and the difference in it and a new bare bow are huge. for me, it is balance, grip, and recoil that fits my hands. with my shoulders going .. a larger let off is in need now days as is a lighter bow, when i sit on the tundra at full draw waiting for a caribou to walk into range or a grizz to stroll up to me... then every little bit helps.. ...

Chrud Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 The Z7 is an amazing bow. It only took me a couple shots and I had one ordered. Mine should be here in a couple weeks (black riser, black limbs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskybnd Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 i just recived a cd on the bow, havent had time to shoot one but it looks pretty good, the cd was over an hour long showing most of the pro hunters using it, pat reeve, lee, jay gregory, along with a lot more. im inpressed with the mathews concept, my mathews is only 3 years old so i'l wait to get another in a few.. no telling what mathews will come up with by then.

Swamphunter Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Me too Robert... my XT is a 2006 model and has two P&Y's and two robinhoods to its name. Think I am going to keep mine for a few more years. I am switching to the QAD Ultra rest though. Would like to come up with w new fletching combo, but I am all set up for left wing helical feathers. Not sure what to do there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 That's great! I love my trykon, but you never know, might upgrade to something different this year if the price is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossyhorn Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 I am not a guy who buys a lot of bow. Heck my MQ1 is from 98 and I still love it. But after checking out the z7 on Monday I have decided it is time to upgrade. Already spoken to the wife and have the all clear as long as she gets the new camera she has been looking at for 6 months. This bow is really going to cost me a lot. But I think I am going to be very happy in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobbly_Alaska Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 thats i kinda me there mossyhorn, my first bow is now a wall hanger, a 1984 Darton laminate bow, my second is an 03 martin MV3, and like you, when i shot the Z7, OH Boy was it time for an upgrade, smooth, easy to hold, lighter, more let off....i can hardly wait for April 1st...:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornfed Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Mathews sure knows how to create a frenzy with a bow. I shot it last week and I will not be purchasing that bow. Honestly there is no difference between them or any other bow for that matter. IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD BOYS!!! 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
