We got our demo in today and I was actually mildly impressed with this bow. The riser should be very strong with the "truss" design. The cam rolled over smoothly and the bow produced very little vibration at the shot. The grip is skinnier than on past bows which is a big plus. It was also a very quiet bow. I like the color coded rollers on the cable guard that correspond to the color of serving on the cables so you don't get them mixed up.

A couple of things I did not like. There is a slight sideways kick to the bow when you shoot it and I attribute this to the amount of reflex built into the riser. It wasn't as bad as the Reezens but it was there. And the little monkey tail things just look friggin stupid and gimmicky.

Overall I think that Mathews actually improved a little this year. I definetly like the 2010 bows better than the last two years designs.

I would like to see Mathews design a bow with a light weight but strong riser design like the Z7. Shorter more efficient limbs so that the riser could be designed with very little to no reflex and with a slightly less aggressive cam than what is on the monsters.
