I've had a heli-m and loved it and shot most of them from the legacy up. Which one do y'all think is the best?

I've never owned a Mathews. But my best friend had a DXTuntil last year when it was stolen and he said it's the best how he's ever shot.

I haven't bought another one since I purchase the Switchback. Just haven't seen the need to fix something that isn't broken and is a killing machine.

I am sure there are ones now that are faster, quieter, more let off but as far as dependability, I will put it up against any bow out there.

After shooting Switchback & Z7 for years I drifted over to the dark side and have been shooting Hoyts since 2013 but this newer generation of Mathews has my attention. I'm leaning towards the Halon 32.

The Outback and LX are my least favorites. Both were very popular bows, but I just didn't care for the way the cam felt on them. The Q2 was my favorite up until I got a Creed and a HTX.

... and he drops the mic.

In fairness, I've never shot another compound bow besides my switchback so I have nothing to compare to but it hits what I aim at, is very comfortable to shoot, so ... like you say, if it ain't broke for the love of Pete, don't mess with it.

Shaw hooked me up with new string a few weeks ago and I'm good to go.

I'm still shooting a z-max. I bought it in the summer 1998 I believe.
