I just shot the Mathews A7 and the Hoyt Maxxis 31 last night.
I shot the Z7 first and liked the wait it shot, felt a bit top heavy but a fairly smooth draw, especially compared to my Bowtech 82nd Airborne.
I then shot the Maxxis 31 and fell in love with it. It was easily as smooth on the draw or smoother than the Z7. It was very balanced and felt lighter....even though on paper they are the same weight.
I ordered the Maxxis 31 last night and put my bowtech on consignment sale.

I shot in an archery league this past winter. I was shooting an older Hoyt Ultra sport. I bought a Z7, and it had finally come in. When I started shooting it in the league, on about the 5th or 6th arrow everyone else stopped shooting just to listen to how quiet the bow was. even the Hoyt shooters were impressed.

The Z7 is by leaps and bounds far superior than anything Bowtech manufactures. There should not be a second thought about which is better. unless your one of the sorry saps that work for Bowtech.

Z7 true love
Just got in to archery a couple months back went to the local shop told the owner i was intrested in the Z7 but wasnt sure about the cost and being left handed didnt think he had a demo, he had just got a lefdt handed z7 demo in that day I shot about ten arrows through it went to the counter and ordered it. its my first ever bow and I have never been this excited about season coming in. I have never felt any kind of shock out of it shot a buddys DXT shot one arrow and gave it back to him after i about dropped it.

The Z7 is just awesome, at least in my opinion it is. I picked one up for the first time last week. I didn't even make it a week and I went back today and got one. I couldn't be happier with mine. I can't wait to draw back on a deer with this thing.
