Mathews LX
I haven' t seen any posts on the LX so I thought I would give it a little bit of time. My local bowshop got one in and I had the chance to shoot it side by side with the Legacy. Wow, what a sweet bow. It was very fast and had the typical Mathews dead feel to it. It did have a tiny bit more shock than the Legacy, but not enough to make any real difference. It was well balanced, similar to the Legacy. Although the literature says it is only 1/10 of a pound lighter, it seemed easier to manuever. The brace height scared me before I shot it, but I didn' t mind it at all when I was shooting it. Finally, we put a few arrows through the chrony with it and it was fast. We were shooting 375 grain arrows with a 30" draw, at 68 lbs. with a Fletcher peep installed on the string and measuring the arrow speed at 308 fps. I know this isn' t Black Max or Super Tec kind of speed, but it was still impressive. I was trying to decide whether to buy a Legacy or an LX and the shoot pushed me to put money down on a LX. I wished I could have spent more time with it, but it was headed to a banquet right after I put it down. Now I am one of those that is anxiously awaiting the arrival of my LX.
By the way, I shot the Razor Tec and the Super Tec side by side with it and for me the Mathews has a much better feel. For me to convert to Mathews is a big deal, I have shot Hoyts my whole life...no more.
