Does she have a sister? My wife may throw me out half way through deer season and I need some options. Lord knows she deserves better than me and when she figures it out i can guaran-damn-tee I will be out on my ass!

I shoot probably as many bows as anyone on here that aint working in an archery shop and I am telling you...

The Mathews Halon is the best bow I have ever shot. Every hardcore archery guy I know that has shot my bow has said the same thing, and many of those guys are pro-staff for other bow companies...

You just have to shoot them and find out what is best for you. they are all very similar and its all about personal preference. I personal think that the Mathews halon is too heavy and there are lighter bows that shoot equally well. That's why they make more than one. I personally think the bear arena 34 is one of the nicest bows I have shot in a while along with the bowtech BTX 31. shoot them and pick the one right for you

Congrats... Go shoot a bunch of bows and pick the one you like. My son's not in the market but, he drew a Hoyt back at 80# last week and said it was easier than his 70#PSE, haha. Now his bow sucks and he's buying a Hoyt next year.

I have the halon6, took a day or so to get over the top heavy feel during the draw cycle, evens out after let off, could possibly be offset with certain weight stabilizers, in a week muscle memory won't know any different.
Besides if you don't like it at least you'll have one that resells quicker. Just a thought thumbup

Halon 6 is the best shooting bow I have shot. The HTX is smooth as butter as well. Lots of great bows out, shoot a bunch and go with what feels good to you.

I'm still on the hook for the new car she got last year, so hopefully thats not the case. I think shes tired of hearing me talk about wanting a new one. I dont spend much on myself, so maybe she's wanting to be sweet to me...naaa i know better than that. Yall are right, I just dont know what shes up to yet

Check out Obsession and Xpedition! Two companies that have amazing bows, just depends on if you want hybrid cams or not. I've owned three 2015 Obsessions, best bows I've ever shot period!

I bought a new obsession defcon 6 today . It's awesome. Hands down the best bow I've ever shot. It's faster ,lighter,draws smoother than the mattews havlon 6. I shot both about 20 times.
No buyers remorse here!! I bought it from mick at nichols outfitters. He took his time with me and answered every question I had. Been nice if I could have got the wife to buy it for but no such luck.
