Default Mathews Z7 Review

Went and shot the new Z7. I think it is awesome and will be a great new bow. I currently have a switchback xt and dont have the money for a new bow for myself but my son has talked me into getting him one for christmas. i am as excited as he is waiting for it to come in, just hope it makes it in time. My dad works at a store that sells the bows (he is a bow tech) and he thinks they will be more popular than the reezen, monster or drenalin. the bow is quiet, fast and has virtually no hand shock. very awesome bow in my opinion.

I just don't see it winning any beauty contests. Real ugly!

Default Good bow

Very quiet bow for sure. Hardly makes any sound. Looks are not bad. I see many buying it for its light weight for hunting.

I shot one, and I think it is what most people expect from Mathews.

I shot it the other day, what a great bow. The Switchback XT will become my backup bow. The wife is getting it for me for Xmas, I will order it with top end weight of 60lbs. more then enough for deer

Seriously, I think it is a good looking bow, but I never really care what they look like. You will hardly ever catch me in a Mall checking out the latest fashions either.
