I went to my pro shop Saturday to buy my son a bow for Christmas and he had a Reezen 6.5 on the rack. Well I just had to fling a few arrows through it. The bow was pleasing to my eye and felt good in my habd. The draw cycle was a lot more harsh then I'm used to. It drew smooth until it rolls into the valley and then I had to throw some extra muscle into it to get it toroll over. It also had a little more hand shock then my Drenalin. But let me tell you there was a noticible difference in the speed. His chrono was broke but I weighed the arrow at 460 grains and at around 65 pounds I would gues that I was pushing real close to 300 fps. All in all I really liked the bow and I'm definately putting some thought into buying either the 6.5 or 7.0.

I'm going to shoot a couple of the new models this week also. Your review is just about what I have been hearing.

Thats whata friend of mine told me last week. He went and shot the reezen, and said that it had a rougher draw cycleand a tad more handshock than his drenalin, but the speed more than made up for it. He plans on trading in his drenalin fora reezen this weekend

the rougher draw cycle is to be expected though. If you're getting more speed, it is because you are pulling more total weight. So yes, the draw cycle will be a bit rougher, that HAS to happen.

I held the Reezen this weekend. I didn't shoot it, but I'll say that Mathews improved the grip quite a bit for this year. I have replaced the grip on my Drenalin with a Torqueless grip, but I think I'd keep the stock grip on the newer bows. It has a very nice feel to it. I'm not really looking for a new bow so I didn't even bother drawing it.

That's how I feel about the Reezen as well. I will most likely be upgrading from my Drenalin before the 2009 season.
