Z7 Extreme?

[bloodtrails]

Anyone using one yet? I'm thinkin' about it. Just wondering what you all think of the short ATA? I'm a 6'1" dude, do ya think I would look stupid with this short bow?.....lol.....any input would be great. Thanks.

It comes down to you in the end. Myself, I like the forgiveness of a longer ATA. A short bow can be difficult for some to shoot. Great for the tree stand, but you can work around that.

Any bow in the hands of a practiced archer can accomplish that. Especially, an animal the size of a moose. Equipment does not make the shot. The shooter does.

I was not really please with the bow. Lots of hand shock to be as expensive as it is. When i shoot i will not grip a bow, i let it free fall on the wrist loop. the z7 extreme jumped out and left really hard with every shot. as far as the ata i love a short bow. makes light work of carrying it while packing in a climber. it is very quiet and very fast. but it just depends on what you like and what you are looking for in a bow.

I know it ain't a fasion show " Kid " I was joking! I was just sayin' that cuz it was so tiny! :poke:

The ATA on that bow is 28"

In general bows that are shorter ATA than your draw are more difficult to shoot accurately.

If you're 6' 1" you probably have a longer draw than 28"

I felt one and the hand shock to me felt minimal. I dont think Mathews has produced a bow with much hand shock to speak of in years. The Z7 may have slightly and I do mean slightly less than the extreme but both would be great hunting bows. and either one is leaps and bounds in front of the competition.

if you throw on a sight with second and third axis leveling then it's not a bad bow at all. when I checked it out, I thought it was pretty easy to cant it though.

my friend shoots it and he loves it. with shorter bows mean longer shots wont be as accaurate as would a longer bow.
