Q2XL, Q2, or SQ2

Minn,

I am in the same boat as you are. I have been shooting Mathews for over 5 years and really like their bows. Their 2002 bows will be debuted in about a month, so if you can hold off, it might be worth it. I am going to wait until they unveil the 2002 line before I buy. Of the bows you listed, the Q2XL will be the slowest but probably the most accurate. The Q2 will be the fastest, a good mix of accuracy and speed. The SQ2 will fall between the other 2 in speed, should handle like a dream in the treestand, but will lack a little in the accuracy department due to it's short axle to axle length.

I have also been considering the new Patriot from BowTech. It is similar to the Q2 but a little faster in IBO speeds.

Your decision should be based on what you will be using the bow for and whether you will be shooting with a release or not. The Q2 and SQ2 will definitely need to be shot with release. Just my 2 cents.

To look at the BowTech patriot here is the site:

Depends on what your looking for,I shoot the
Q2 and love it. Shoot 3-49 ACC'S on 75lb. draw weight, 29" draw and get 296 FPS.

I have the Z Max and love it. I will soon be ordering the Mathews Safari for big game. It is a 70 to 100 # draw lbs in 10lb increments at 65% let off. It looks just like the Q2XL, but made of harder grade of Aluminum.

God, Family and hunting, got to get your priorities strait!

RE: Q2XL, Q2, or SQ2
 

Speed rating on the Q2 and Q2XL are the same. I saw a bow report in some bowhunting mag and the Q2XL actully was just a tad faster with heavier arrows. I have a Q2 and depending on what comes out this year I am planning on a Q2XL if I can find a grip that I like. Thats the one thing that I do not like about Mathews is the grip. If I cant find a grip then I will probly get a new hoyt.
