Bowfanatic,

A Mathews dealer handed me an AR37 the other day and asked me to shoot it and tell him what I thought of it.
It felt comfortable in my hand and its balance was good.
It had the least amount of handshock I' ve ever felt except for the Legacy I shot last year and was the second quietest to that same Legacy.
But all bows have handshock to a degree no matter what anyone says.
I' m surprised to hear all the complaints about handshock problems with the AR34 after shooting that AR37
I compared its looks and finish to an LX hanging next to it.
They were pretty equal in quality of construction but I prefered the cut outs in the riser of the AR 37 and its cobra like profile.
I think the AR 37 is a cool looking bow and would recommend you shoot one if it appeals to you.

I am partial to Bowtech, but decided to get a bow with the only criteria being level of hand shock and noise. I already have a Patriot which is exceptionally low in both categories so I began my search with other companies. I shot the Mathews Legacy extensively over a week long period, but waited until the AR' s arrived at my dealer to make a final descision. After shooting the AR 31 I can say that I have never shot a bow with as little recoil, vibration or noise. I think the source of the problems mentioned above might be the fact that the initial bows that were shipped had slots where the limb inserted into the pocket allowing the limb to " walk" away from its fully seated position over time. PSE has remedied this by replacing the limbs with ones that have a hole instead of a slot.

If this is not the problem on the bows mentioned above, I don' t know what it could be, because mine is so completley dead in my hand after the shot it is amazing.

Thanks guys! I had the pleasure of holding the AR37 last night at our local sheels. All I can say about the feel of the bow is AWESOME! The grip is superb! I have to wait until the 20th of this month to shoot one. Thats when sheels moves into their new building equipped with shooting lanes.

Ive shot all three and have to say the 34 is the one. The 37seemed to get my arm a little more than the other two, and they were all my draw length. I have a buddy with a shop and indoor range and he sells them. We have set them up in many ways and some stabilizers work better than others. They were all a pleasure to shoot and I noticed very little hand shock and the grip is awesome.
