mathews legacy any good?
 

Hey guys i am thinking about buying a mathews legacy from a friend. its in really mint shape. i am a hoyt guy but i am really thinking about the legacy since its the right price and my bow is about 7 years old. Let me know what you guys think about the legacy!!! and what are you guys getting for Speed?? FPS?

No clue on the actual arrow speed. The Legacy is a great shooting, well balanced, quiet bow. I'm glad to own one.

I personally didn't like my Legacy. It is a sweet shooting bow but I like my Outback much better.

Like my legacy alot--don't know for sure about the speed but it should 250-260 roughly with a 400gr. arrow.

what are you guys getting for speed out of a legacy 70 lbs?

RE: mathews legacy any good?
 

It's not the speed of the arrow it's the accuracy!

ya the faster you are going the less drop between yards!!! :) i love to thread the needle

I loved my Legacy. Smooth, quiet, more than fast enough. I was very happy to hand it down to my son, and now I shoot a Switchback.
How much does he want for it? I would think you could get one now for $350 or so.
Good luck!

my 70lb legacy shoots 270-275 with carbon arrows and 100 grain tips. There isn't much drop in this bow. I put the sure-loc lethal weapon sight so that there is some difference between the pins. its a great bow but i might be switching to a switchback soon

Mathews? Now whay would you want to go and do a thing like that? Mathews? I mean really, c'mon, just because they get great reviews... just because I know a guy that's been shooting the same one for 8 years... hey, wait a minute... that would be me. :D

Just busting on you guys a little... my advice is to make sure it fits you and your particular shooting style. I'm sure it will serve you well for years to come. Truthfully, I'd buy another one in a second, as Mathews does make a quailty product. My old first generation Conquest works as well as day one... the whitetails may not like it much, but I sure do. ;)
