RE: Mathews LX
O.k. , First update : I got it paper tuned this afternoon in less than 10 minutes.
It is shooting my 350 grain arrows so good I think I' ll keep shooting them= No recoil and quietttt!!!!!
After paper tuning I sighted it in with my Cosmic directly off of the Ultra2 and it was only shooting left about 1/2 " at 20 yrds on the LX. Easy change ,only one adjustment !! I have only shot one time in months(besides testing to buy this bow) so ...... first afternoon of really shooting the LX , I shot as well as I ever have . I shot 18 of 20 in the ten ring at 20 yrds , and went 4 for 4 at 30 ! I' m going to chrono it Sunday so I' ll let you know what we come up with !
So far, I absolutely love this bow !!

RE: Mathews LX
I shot th LX last week at our local shop. The bow seemed to have a slight vibration to it. I have a Legacy and a Conquest III and was really surprised after I shot this bow. I saw where someone else experienced the same thing. Our shop is thinking it' s just that particular bow and may send it back. I don' t know. I guess I' ll keep my Legacy which shoot GREAT.

RE: Mathews LX
Azmedman,
Chrono' d mine at the shop and set up at my friend' s yesterday. Here goes :
New at shop with only a loop and kisser button , w/Mathews prong style rest @ 74 # = 275 fps with a 473 grain arrow
Set up w/ Tru-peep ,loop, Wisker Biscuit rest =
62 # - 352 grain arrow = 290 fps - 80%-30 "
74# - " " " = 309 fps- 80% - 30"
" - " " " = 308 fps - 65% - 29.5 "
74# - 393 grain arrow = 296 fps- 80% - 30 "
A similar set up we were tinkering with on a MQ-1 was resulting in a 4 fps loss with the Biscuit compared to a prong style rest.
Like you said =not Black Max or BK 2 speed but still impressive !!
All of my friends commented on how quiet the LX was, everyone seemed to be really surprised !
I took it Turkey hunting and changed to 29.5 " draw/65 % which was easy and convenient for seated shooting from the ground. No turkeys = but fun anyway !!
Hope yours comes in soon and let me know how it does !!
