Being a long time Mathews fan I did a little more shooting with the Z7 and the Hoyt Maxxis and never thought I would change but after shooting 15 arrows thru both bows I made up my mind to get the Maxxis.Both bows were set at 65lbs and I shot FMJ's cut at 29 so every thing was the same.
I shot 3 arrows thru the Z7 then The Maxxis and repeated this 5 times alternating between bows,they are both awsome bows but what it came down to was the Z7 felt a little heavy up top(not as well balanced as the Maxxis IMO) and a tad louder on the shots,both bows only had a WB rest on them and the Maxxis had nothing on the string were the Z7 had the monkey tails on it......
It almost came down to a coin toss to see witch one to buy..
As they say..Sometimes chang is a good thing...........we will see wont I.
