Just wondering, does anyone still shoot a Mathews bow? I do, but its getting to be something that is done but never spoken about. It's not just this site, either. No love for the guys shooting 250fps with 4 harmonic dampeners??? [8D]

Now that everybody seems to hate Mathews - it kinda makes me want one.

I'm still shooting my Dren. as a back up to my GTO of course but I still do love the way the drenalin handles and shoots, this will be the first year in about ten that a Mathews was not in my hand come opening day.

I don't know anyone who hates Mathews. I know plenty that hate that handle/grip.

Maybe you can get down to a 180 grain arrow to get those speeds you want out of a Mmmmm. [8D]

LMAO! I don't own one, but I've shot a few. Nothing special, IMO. I hear it quite a bit at the shop, about how great they are, how they can outshoot this and faster than that. Funny though, when they put their money where their mouth is, and we bust out the chrono.......Suddenly they don't want that mathews anymore. Truth, really.

I think they make a good bow, but I don't think they make a GREAT bow, and certainly not when you figure in the cost. But, I'll give them credit, they know how to sell a bow. I cannot tell you how many people I've seen come in, shoot a couple of the bows that we do stock (not a mathews dealer) and readily admit they like shooting the X brand better. BUT, my buddies all shoot mathews, the guys on tv shoot mathews, so that's what I'm gonna get. HUH???
