Found a steal on a Mathews heli m. Was somewhat skeptical of how short it is, but I shoot it pretty dang well. I've recently shot several Mathews, all the new Hoyt's, elites, and new breed. Of those, my favorite was the new breed lycan and the helim. I may have liked the lycan a little more, but found a steal on this one. Time to retire the old diamond

yeah that was it, actually got it for a decent ammount less than listed . I bought an outback a while back, and shot it for about 6 years, then sold it for $50 more than i had in it. These bows take a huge hit in depreciation in the first 2 years, but will stick in the 4-500 range for 10 years or more. never made any sense to buy a new one to me.

I saw it yesterday and started to post it on here for anyone interested. I got an outback this year and like it but it's just to short for me. Nothing wrong with the bow but I think I will be doing some horse trading this off season.

I really liked my outback as a hunting bow, but it was too easy to torque it shooting much past 45 or so. This heli m seems to be much more forgiving than the outback was, even though its a short bow. I shot 3 groups this morning before work at 40 yds, and the biggest was 4ish inches with 4 arrows.

you hit the nail on the head. I like it in close and out of a blind but it is easy for the torque to get you on the longer shots. I guess I will say the bow is more accurate than I am lol.

I have had my eye on the Helim and also a z7.
