Mathews Drenilin

I did some marketing research for a company over the summer, and you would be amazed at how many people would totally bash a product they have never used themselves. I know we see it a bit on here, people who know someone who know someone who had a problem, but I made well over 200 calls a day to different distributors and stores and had people who hadn't even heard of the product I was researching (won't tell you what I was researching, just because), bashing on the product. There is a fairly good chance that the dealer has never even shot the bow before. Don't let one person decide whast you will shoot.

We have sold probably close to 120 of them this year and not a single one has come back with a limb problem. As a matter of fact, in 2 years of working there and after we have sold hundreds and hundreds of them I am yet to see a single Mathews come in with a limb failure that wasn't from a dry fire. Our demo XT has been dry fired by customers at least a half dozen times too......and it's still fine.

My buddies run a local shop that sells Mathews, Hoyt, & PSE. They have not had an issue w/ one Mathews Drenalin yet. They are their top selling bow currently.

When they first came out YES this was a problem with some bows.A guy I shoot 3D with got one that had a crack in it and when he took it back they looked at all of them on the rack and found another one that was cracked.NOT PUTTING DOWN THE BOW!!!!! Just stating facts.I shot one myself but it wasnt what I wanted in a bow. They got to come out with one with a longer riser then I would look at them again.

dan it's when someone post something to start a "fight"

Like a bowtech guy posting about mathews limb problems or vice versa.
You may or may not have been doing that, I have no idea. But the "I heard" phrase had troll written all over it IMO.

One thing I have leanred is:

post what you know, not what you hear;)

Mine works fine. I know several people with them and no one has had any problems at all. A good buddy of mine owns a bow shop that sales a load of Mathews bow, if there was a problem I think he would know about it.

They released the Drenalin LD about a month ago, 37" ATA. I believe it is what you're looking for.

I have 3 other family members with Drenalins. All bought at A-1 Archery in Hudson, WI. One had a limb explode this spring while shooting. A-1 I believe has sold well over 100 Drenalins and I think they had one or 2 limb failures. So there, now you've heard of one :)

I shoot a MATHEWS so Im not doing it to start a fight Hint the reason i asked if anyone else had heard of the problem.

Most shops that spread the Matthews "cracked limb" story do not or can not get the Matthews line. We sell them and we have had zero problems.

I shoot a Drenalin and I love it. No problems what so ever. The owner of the bow shop I do business with shoots one and he loves it. He tells me it's been his best selling bow and he carries Mathews, Hoyt, Bowtech, PSE and Bear.

DITTO.....Maybe Mathews pulledthe lineon him.....

Hunter Dan7 12-06-2007 06:07 PM

RE: Mathews Drenilin
 
They dident pull the line on him, he is going to try to sell them next year and so I dont know why he would be telling people that if he was planning on selling them but he did. All I know is that if Mathews has a bow that fits me and doesent have many complaints then that is what i will be shooting.

i had one and the bow was fine and shoot well too!(man nice baby picture!:D:D:D)
