One un answered question, how long will these bows last? Will Mathews Z7 EX. be shooting well after 10 years? How will the rest hold up for 10 years? We don't know yet and might be getting what ya pay for. Is Mathews a bit better quality?? Strings, quality of metal, craftsmanship, cams, ??? Are they all the same?
I'm currently shooting a Mathews FX that I purchased in 2000 and it's shoots as good and accurate today as it did when I fist got it. I can't even begin to estimate how many arrows it has shot over the past 12 yrs but I do assure you that's its well over 10,000.
