helim has been the only bow mathews has put out in a few years I've been impressed with. I've still got a conquest 2 and a dxt but those were the last mathews bows I bought.

I love them, won't be shooting another head for a long time. Super durable, very sharp and fly like a dream. They grouped well out to 60 yards.

Still shooting my Mathews LX, I've been tempted by a couple bows the last few years but not enough to make a switch. I do like the Elites, I'll probably end up with one in another year of two.

It's a good bow. I like the wall much better than previous Mathews. I don't know why they didn't add a draw stop before now. The only thing I don't like about it is the grip. I'm thinking about trying the focus grip.

I 100% agree. The draw stop made all the difference in the world to me and as for focus grips imo that's the only way to go with a mathews.

The lx was a killer bow. I had one and my dad still has one that he shoots more than the alpha max I bought him a couple years ago lol.

It still is, just ask this gobbler. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYwsQNPllXo#t=4m35s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYwsQNPllXo#t=4m35s) ;D
Didn't mean it wasn't anymore lol, just meant when it was new it was top of the line! Like I said my dad still shoots his as his primary bow.

No worries, I knew what you meant. :icon_thumright:
I'm shootin a Hoyt rampage xt, nap apache rest, hha OL5510, dead end archery 10" stabilizer. With weights it's right at 12". Cat whiskers, red d loop, black dark green and red wrist sling, Easton flatline surgical 400s with 125 gr slick tricks. 62#, 26.5" draw, 73% letoff..
Before sight change, stab weight and whiskers
The xts are nice bows man. If you don't mind me asking, why the 125 gr tricks up front? With such a light setup and short dl you would probably pick up 10-15 fps by dropping down to the 85 gr and more than likely shoot better groups.

man keep your strings waxed and replace them every 2-3 years and it will last as long as you want it to. I never shoot the same bow for long but that's just because I'm to curious about other bows lol. I trade bows on archerytalk like there's no tomorrow.

The LX was my first serious hunting bow, bought when they came out in 2003 I was 17. Killed a few deer with that ol bad boy then got the urge to try something else Lol.
Currently I'm shooting:
Hoyt vector turbo @ 62lbs 29" draw
easton acc pro hunter 390's
spott hogg hunter hogg it
stokerized 7" camo hunter stab
broadhead, well it varies day to day.
For deer last year I shot rage titaniums, shuttle t locks and rocket sidewinders. For turkeys I usually like rocket hammerheads but I have found myself with a lot of rage 2 blades so they will get the nod this season. For deer next year I traded for a pack f exodus heads and I can't wait to try them out
Mathews Helim, QAD, Extreme sights
Easton FMJ with Rage for deer
Gold Tip with Gobbler Guillotines for turkeys.

Sorry bud, been out of town. I'm a 26.5" draw and shooting 61-62# so I need a fairly weak arrow. The 500s were too weak 400s too stiff. Seems like I needed a .418 spine to be perfect or something. Forget actual numbers but a 400 spine with the 125gr tip weakened it up enough to be almost perfect with a 27" arrow.
For some reason this bow was super finicky about spine to shoot a broadhead well. It'll group muzzy, slick tricks, strikers and a few others at 60 yards now though !
Going to buy a Monster Chill after shooting one over the weekend.I plan to use it to put me over 100 bow killed turkeys this spring.
I shoot a mathews z7 lh 28.5 @ 68 pounds. G5 xr sight, qad hdx rest, carbon force pro 300s tipped with mathews edition grim reaper whitetail specials.this set up has proven deadly on deer and turkeys. watch em drop. shootin @ 285 fps
2013 Hoyt Carbon Element G3. Hoyt ultra rest, g5 XR sights, Hoyt blade stab, Hoyt quiver, Scott release, bemen mfx 400's and nap spitfire broadheads
For turkey the only thing I change is I'll put on my sword single pin sight. I'm gonna shoot a guillotine broadhead this spring. But I'll have my naps in my quiver as well.

I've just started getting into bow shooting/hunting & got a cheap-y pawn shop deal - an old '97 PSE F-2 Maxis, which I got a Tru-Glo sight put on (which helped a bunch). I've got my eye on a PSE X-Force Vendetta (used) that I'm thinking about upgrading to.
Hoyt Carbon Spider 34
65# 31"
HHA 5519 Dial
Hoyt quiver
QAD rest
B-stinger stabilizer
Easton Axis n-fused 340's
Slick trick 100's

I hope to kill my first turkey with a bow this season. :you_rock:

The vendetta is a very smooth drawing and shooting bow.... Shot my best scores with it
