I got a used LX on ebay for $200. Best money I have ever spent in archery. I am fortunate enough to have a lot of bows, and shoot a lot of bows, but that LX is a very sweet rig, and its my go to hunting bow.

For a hunting bow, its VERY hard to beat that LX. Even with all the high ticket stuff going on these days. Its quiet, its one of the fastest bows Mathews has ever made (save the dedicated speed bows), and its easy to shoot.

My 29" LX, at 58#s with 330gr arrows is shooting the EXACT same speed as my friends new Drenalin at 28" 71#s with 367gr arrows. The draw length has about 10 fps to do with it, but other than that, it speaks for how good the LX is, or how bad the Dren is (which I don't think it is by the way, its a great bow).

One thing, be prepared to spring for a new string. Mine still had the factory string on it, and even though it had hardly ever been shot (it was a heck of a deal) the string was stretched and the brace height was way out of spec. Plan on spending around $100 for a GOOD set of strings and cables, its money well spent.
