Mathews Reezen
 

im a hoyt guy but i was at a mathews bow shop with one of my buddies. he was getting his bow tuned and while we were waiting they let us shoot the new reezen for about an hour. all i have to say is that thing is freaking FAST but it has alot of hand vibration. they didnt have the monster so next we go there we're going to shoot the monster. it drew really hard but had alot of speed to her.

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

what bow shop you go to? I have a local Mathews shop here and shot the reezen the other day i thought the same thing you did. no monster yet, cant wait.

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

i went to Pappas Trading Post in Arena. im going back up there when my buddy goes to get his new bow and to shoot the monster

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

yeah i cant wait to shoot the monster too, sounds like it could be a nice bow. They only thing i am worried about is that Mathews has never made a duel cam bow before. So they might need to work some kinks out before they really get a good bow out there.

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

Same here lots of hand shock!!! the draw cycle is nice, but the hand shock is horrible. nothing like my admiral

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

not many are like the admiral:)

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

I went to a mathews dealer and he had a dxt, drenalin and reezen to shoot. I had some good side x side comparsion. I found the drenalin to be muchsmother than the reezen. I ended up buying a bowtech guardian.

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

Put a good stabalizer and or an sts on the reezen and tune it and it minimizes the vibration significantly.

I love the bow personnally

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

someone told me that they were coming out w/ new dampeners for the Reezen that will drastically reduce the handshock.

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

I will be honest, they need em. I love mathews bows and have shot one since they came out with the legacy and now shot a dxt. This reezen doesnt even feel right in any way. I shot one just the other day for the first time and it doesnt seem to have what the drenalin or dxt has. Granted its pretty fast, it has a little much hand shock and I personaly didnt like the draw cycle.

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

With speed comes vibration and a more harsh draw cycle. I shoot a Drenalin now and love the draw cycle but it's slow. I went the other day and shot a Reezen 6.5. I set the Reezen 7 lbs lighter on the draw weight and 1/2 inch short on draw length and got about 10 feet a second better speed. With the lighter draw weight the draw cycle wasn't near as harsh and the vibration was alot less. It's a give and take. For years now everybody has been on Mathews for not keeping up with the speeds of other bows well now they've made the fastest single cam bow on the market but it comes with a price. I'm ordering a Reezen 6.5 next month.

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

"Mathews" has made a dual cam before. It was way back in the day, and Mat Mcpherson used his old company name which I believe was Mcpherson Bows. He later sold the name when he came up with the idea for single cam technology. Upon reintroducing the dual cam idea (for the benefit of speed) in the new Monster series bows he bought the name Mcpherson Series bow back. Thats why you will notice they dont consider the Monster bow a true "Mathews."

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

the bow shop i go to said 2 weeks yesterday for the monster

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

Yes but you shouldnt need to even put a stabilizer on a bow to get ZERO hand shock. Bows are more advance then ever. Im sorry My 82nd has ZERO hand shock and isnt much slower then the reezen or monster and has ZERO handshock with no stabilizer...MATHEWS got OWNED AGAIN. GO BOWTECH!!!!!

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

I can just about promise you that if you didn't like the draw cycle and the vibration of the Reezen there's no need for you to shoot the Monster. There's no way to get that kind of speed without those two elements. And Nissan I can bet you dollars to donuts that if I shot you're BT I would have a different opinion.:D

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

lol im sure. dont get me wrong the 82nd speed mod does have a harsh draw cycle to get the potential energy built up.....But upon release the 82nd doesnt have any handshock, well at least none that I can tell. Mind you ive been shooting bows for almost 20years..I got my first PSE fiberglass recurve when i was 6. But thats not a real bow. I have a diamon marquis, Bowtech 82nd, Bowtech Commander and just shot a new 2009 Ross Carnivore. And the reason I chose these particular bows is mainly speed accuracy noise and hand shock...And all 4 i mentioned have none...But I would let anyone shoot any bow that I own and they will all say the same thing..."This bow doesnt even jump/flich" or "did the arrow go anywhere" for the novice

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

I'm sticking with my ole reliableMathews Switchback XT

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

WRONG!
Actually Mathews shooters outnumber everyone like 4-1. Mathews is the company that has the card deck stacked in thier favor.

I believe that for every non-mathews shooter in pro levels there are three Mathews shooters.

Next to Mathews and Hoyt in competition, Bowtech is NOT even close....Sorry

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

I truly believe you are wrong Just a typical Mathews Fan boy proud of your $900 display. Mathews and Hoyt are substancially behind the curve in technology When compared to BOWTECH, DIAMOND and ROSS. My local PROSHOP has switch from HOYT and Darton To primarily BOWTECH, DIAMOND and ROSS. Mind you hes a hoyt staff shooter and has 9 national championships. Hes told me that hoyt has issues with developing new technology and he also stated that bowtech seems to be the way to shoot. Hoyt Might make great target bows. But all around shooters, bowtech and diamond hands down.

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

PShhhhhh, you're calling him a fan boy? All you say is go Blowtech!:D

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

Wow I cant take it. The first post had me going but now hes added replies to others, calling THEM fanboys? All I can hear is how loud you are screaming BOWTECH. You're honestly going to put a ROSS bow above a Mathews? Right there you lost any credibility in any of your posts from my opinion. You realize bowtech and diamonds are made by the same company right fanboy?

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

He(/she [&:]) lost all of mine a long, long time ago[8D]

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

Everyone has their opinion, but is it really necessary to "dog" the bow you don't shoot. This Bowtech vs Mathews war on this forum is so played out!Both bowshave their strong points, as well as weak points. Personally, from my limitied experience withBowtechs,they're quiet and very smooth,but they don't feel as good in my hand as a Mathews, but I still think its a GREAT bow!

Honestly, I don't think it matters what Mathews comes out with, there will always be haters to complain.

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

shot every mathews since the switchback, and all i can say is the dxt is it. Love mathews but the dxt is the top of the mountain, and if you are at the top there is only one way to go.

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

I AGREE with fingerz42 and Rory/MO.................Sorry Fanboy(girl)

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

Your first statement may very well be correct. There are more Mathews shooters out there no doubt. Same as your second statement. I believe this to be a direct result of the amount of money that Mathews pays out. I was just talking to another "pro" shooter yesterday. He stated that if it ws about money to him, that he would probably be shooting a Mathews, but he believes in Bowtech product and vision. I like to think that the reason that Bowtech isn't out there dumping money on the competition scene, paying shooters like crazy, is because they would rather focus it on consistently putting out quality products instead of settling. Just my two cents put in a realistic non combative way.:D Good shooting everybody, whatever you are drawing.

RE: Mathews Reezen
 

I agree with you. I shot my first Bowtech today (Admiral) and I thought the worst Mathews Ive ever shot was better than that Bowtech. Nissan is just a typical Bowtech fanboy, no matter what, they think theres is THE best.

Mathews vs Bowtech
 

All,
This here is the WarCrow. Been slingin' arrows for a long time. I was readin this forum and wanted to remind everyone of one important detail when it comes to huntin' deer with pointy sticks......the deer dont give a crap what kinda bow yer shootin', the point is to put a pointy stick into lungs. I have shot both bows and like them both for reason, they fling pointy sticks downrange. I understand the new craze of "Lets see who has the coolest toys" but from my experience, the ones that brag to much about their gear are the ones that are compensating for somthing, like, they caint kill deer and think that expensive gear is gonna help 'em. WRONG!! Time with yer equipment, time in the woods. Thats all there is to it. You can read all you want but you dont learn nothin' without time put in. Thats about it. So..stop measuring your skill on gear and start sharin' tips on how to get the hunt done. the bow yer carrying, aint got much to do with the kill.

WarCrow

when my buddy broke my bow tryin to get his pecker outta it, mathews sent me 2 new limbs overnight and pro shop put em on and i was shootin in 2days....cost me $25, just to have proshop put em on...can ya say that about your bowtech
