RE: Whats up w/ Mathews???
here are the specs for the 2 new mathews worth checking out.
Legacy
IBO Rating 308 / AMO 235
Draw Length 24-30 / half sizes 27.5-29.5
draw weight 40-70
ATA = 34"
brace height 7.5 / riser length 25"
weight 4.35lbs / letoff 70%
new features String Suppressors / Roller Guard / almost a Q2 with more of a parallel on the limbs.
Icon
IBO 300 / AMO 230 / brace height 7 5/8"
4.45 lbs weight / ATA 37" / Riser Length 25"
new features = Concentric SoloCam, String Suppressors, and Roller Guard.
The Sportsman is the other new one....an FX with the Feather or Fin Cam (genesis cam) this bow is really only a bowfishing bow & thats about all it would be good for.
at first I didn't like the looks of the 2 new bows but they are starting to grow on me. really nothing revolutionary since other companies have done the same things in the past. both bows should be really quite, I think you could get away with not having silencers on the strings.
the Legacy would make a great hunting bow while the Icon should make a great target bow.
