Mathews Helium
 

Anybody bought one of these new bows yet? If so, what fo you think of them. Thinking about getting a new bow and was thinking of either the Z7 Extreme or the Helium,

Not personally but my friend got one and he loves it. He was previously a Bowtech owner and after he shot the Helium and compared it to the new Bowtech models, the bought the Helium.

Thanks for your input. I checked it out at the bow shop and really liked it. I have been shooting a Switchback XT since i bought it in 2005 and until now have not found a bow that I liked as much. Think I might have found one.

I bought the Helium bow and love it! It is QT,fast,light,accurate for me it is a awesome bow! my old bow was a mathews SQ2 so this is a major upgrade for me but well worth it cant wait till oct 1st!!

HelM didnt impress me much,nor does the any Z series...I do like the Monsters a bit though..I would shoot every bow your can get your hands on..This years model or last years etc etc..About 90% of all bow companies make a bow that is built as good as a Mathews is ..Search till you find the bow that picks you,not you picking the bow..If you go home at night an lose sleep,thinking of that bow in a positive way...Then you know ya found the one..At least that is how it happens with me...I have been shooting the same hunting bow for a year an a half or so,because I aint found one that picked me yet..I have tried about every model made in the past few years..Let the bow find you,but you have to the searching (sounds crazy I know:s5:

I can understand that. I have been shooting my Switchback XT since 2005 an have not found anything until now that I really liked. The Helium has a very good feel to me. I have not really looked at other Brands and Models. Checked out the Bowtechs the other day and was not too impressed.

i would shoot the bowtech insanity before buying the helium. if u do u will buy it and i shoot a hoyt. i have owned mathews and tuned the heli.bt hands down easy tuning and fast best shootn bow i know right now. i will shoot my hoyt one more year though

I shot the Helium and it was OK! Then I shot the New Elite Answer and that Bow blows away the Helium!!! What a sweet shooting Bow!!!!! If I could sell my 2011 Hoyt CRX32 today I would buy the Elite Answer PRONTO!!!! Before you buy the Helium shoot the Answer!!! WOW!!!!!!

Honestly I don't understand the hype with the Matthews bows. Not that they aren't any good - they truely are. But Matthews are great at advertising. They put a lot of stress on the Helium at 3 1/2 pounds, IBO speed of 332 and ATA of 30"and $959 MSRP.
I just picked up a Martin Exile for my cousin's son which has the following specs.: 3.4 lb, IBO 320, ATA 30.5", MSPR $639.
I truly believe that you pay a couple hundred dollars just for the Matthews name. I have 3 Martin bows and they are fast, smooth, quiet, delivers zero hand shock or vibration, and is extremely accurate. And their warranty and customer service IMO is second to none.

I have a Z7 that my wife got me for Xmas the first year this model came out, but I didn't hunt with it until this past season, but if I was in the market the Helium would be one bow I would purchase.....Going to sell my Switchback XT

I currently shoot a mathews reezen 7.0 and tried the new heli m but still like my 7.0 better than the helim or the z7. It's all up to each one of us as the make and model that we shoot. If you like the feel and can shoot it to expectations then I say you have found the correct bow for you. Just shot some the high end bear bows and really was impressed.

I've been trying a few bows out lately and the Heli-m has still has the best mark for me. I've been to a couple Mathews dealers and both have it for $850 bare bones so it's not as bad as I was expecting with the MSRP. It looks like it will run be $1200 or so all set up. It's a decent chunk of change but with the warranty and the quality of Mathews it is well worth it. The lifetime warranty that mathews has can't be beat.

i couldn't agree more with this post....

I actually just sighted mine in today. I have been shooting a Mathews Switchback since '05 and have never seen a bow that made me consider swapping till I saw the Heli-M.My neighbor bought one and it impressed me so I went and shot one. Now after sighting mine in.......WOW! People can say what they want about Mathews being great at advertising and thats true. BUT, advertising will only get you to buy the first bow. Quality is what keeps you buying the same brand. Most Mathews owners like myself have owned 2 or 3 in their lifetime. That speaks highly of the quality. Now, back to the heli-m. I use to think my switchback was pretty sweet but this bow is super quite and super fast. I shoot 70# with a 28.5" draw. I dont know how fast its shooting but its up there. I have nothing but praise for this bow.

Couldn't have said it better. I've shot a few different brands and have been shooting the Mathews Drenalin over the last few years. Shot the Heli-m and loved it. Tried it out on three different occasions to be sure and the third time I pulled the trigger and got it. I'll be out again to fine tune it this weekend but was amazed on how quick I had it shooting six inch groups at 40 yards. Purchased mine at my local Mathews dealer and paid well under the MSRP for it, seems like a lot of places try to stay under that. Now I just need October to come around! :)

I went to get a new Helium , and left with a Hoyt Vector 32,,, I shot both , and all the top 12 new bows for 2012, the Hoyt won , and it won with outdoor life to , they picked them in about the same order as I did

Its all about what is right for you. I shot the helim, carbon matrix, vector, I shot them all. But when I laid hands on the bowtech insanity it was a match made in heaven. When you shoot it for the first time you just know
