Default RE: Mathews monster....SWEET.......

It is a new style bow that not to many are hot with because it is different.
It isn't because it is different. It is because it is everything that a hunting bow should not be. I am glad that you like yours but believe me it's not just because it's different. I actually don't see it as very different at all other than the fact that Mathews made a dual cam bow. It really looks like several bows already in production.

With the shorter brase hight you need to decrease draw length.
Only if you have been shooting a bow with too long of a draw length to begin with. Too short of a DL, while not as bad as it being too long, forces you to put pressure on the side of the grip instead of the center where it should be and when you release the arrow your body springs apart. Your bow arm (RH shooter) springs to the left and causes inconsistancies in your left and right accuracy.

Bigbulls is incorrect in my opinion on the bow being unstable and very torquable.
Being as that I am at home right now I do not have one to measure but if my memory serves me correctly the reflex in the riser is about 4.75 inches. Couple that with a brace height of less than 7 inches, most of the risers weight being well foward of the bows grip adds up to make an extremely unstable bow and very easy to torque with even the best of form. Which we all know that we do not have while sitting 20 feet up in a treestand shooting at a buck behind us while it is 20 degrees outside and all bundled up in warm clothes.

As for the admiral. I do not have one in front of me to measure but I do have my captain. The captain has a riser that has 3/4 of an inch of deflex, a brace height of just over 7 inches and the vast majority of the risers weight being in line with (centered above and below) the bows grip makes for an extremely stable and very forgiving bow.
