I had to go the other route this weekend and picked myself up a Z7, Mathew's latest. bigbrother is right on the new technology. I don't care what your flavor, a new bow definately steps up your game. I took my same sights off the Mathews MQ32 and put it on the Z7. My pins came together by half their original setting. Heck at 40 yards, I could put my 20, 30 and 40 yard pin on my small CRP buck target. This thing is unreal. No recoil at all...two different worlds. As soon as I shot it at the pro shop, I was hooked. I've been looking at them on ebay for two weeks, a buddy bought one and a got to hold it and draw it back...pretty smooth. Enough that I had to run out and buy one myself. Oh yeah, I used to shoot 72 lbs and went to a 65 pound version of the Z7 and it's kicking the old bow's rear.

I bought a dozen Beemans just for kicks. These things are supporting the 2" twister vane. I figured I'd be screwed shooting my snuffer broadheads, or any fixed blade broadhead for that matter. Boy was I wrong. Where in the heck did these things come from? I mean, I've been building my own alluminums for years, switched to 5" feathers, right wing with a helical twist to get these snuffers flying perfect. These dang little things shot perfectly straight out to 40 and were only 2" high and 2" to the right at 20... I'd say it's almost perfectly tuned for both field tips and my current broadhead selection. I used to cuss carbons, but they sure are nice out of this rig.
