Weight can actually be beneficial to those who hunt in the Mts. If offers more stabiblity of the bow when shooting it, soaks up noise and vibration!

For those Mathews guys that want newer technology, check out the SQ2 at 3.7lbs, the Black Max 2 at 3.5lbs (which has string suppresors, harmonic dampeners, etc.), the Ultra 2 at 3.7lbs, the FX at 3.3lbs, or check out the MQ1, or MQ32!!
