Not looking for so much speed. I have been a bow hunter but have not fully committed to it like most. Usually only break it out a month before September and start shooting. I have an old paw but I’m in the mArket for a bow. Thanks I really like the idea of Matthews no cam but they discontinued. Have been looking at Triax but heard mixed reviews. Looking for honest rec. and not a sponsored ad.

I shoot a mission eliminater that is about 10 years old. It is accurtae fairly quite and punches through any deer I put a good hit on so I'm not currently in the market. But if I was Hoyt is the first brand I'm gonna try. With all things, I look at my price range and then within that range I got shoot or try several different brands. At that point I believe it is all personal preference. Cause in the same price they will all be very similar.
I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn. Therefore I believe in work, hard work. -George Petrie (1945)

Elite synergy, no cam, pse evolve, pse bow madness, Mathews drenalin, bowtech carbon series are all bows that I have shot and liked.
Bows I did not like were pse stinger, pse brute series, Mathews halon, Hoyt charger, mission series by Mathews.
All of them will stack arrows and kill. Those were just my preferences.

I shoot the no cam HTX and I love it. I had a halon 6 but sold it and kept the no cam. The no cam was smoother and it pointed better for me. Sure I sacrificed a little speed in the end but I think it's absolutely worth it for the smoother, quieter, more forgiving bow. You can still find some new no cams out there, I'd look around. This was my experience comparing the two Mathews as well. The halon was obviously faster but the no cam had the best in terms of draw and feel for me.

With the exception of a two year stint with Hoyt, I’ve shot Mathews bows since 2000. I currently own a NoCam HTX and a new Triax. Both are very quiet, easily tuned and good shooting bows. But to me, the Triax is the best bow Mathews has ever produced, period.

I have a Bow Madness (a 2013 model I think) and I love it. It has killed every single deer I've shot at with it.............all 1 of 'em!

Recently shot the Triax, PSE Brute ( older model ) and New breed - Was helping my father look for a new bow. After shooting several we actually ended up going with an Obsession K-34. He shot it and it just really fit him. When I shot it I was really impressed with how dead it was on release. Rivaled the Triax in that regard. Probably not as fast but a great bow for a pretty good price. I shoot an Obsession as well ( 2016 model Pheonix ) and I love it.
Nichols is the first place I ever saw them and I haven't been able to find them anywhere else local.

Up until I bought my Triax I thought the old Mathews Switchback XT's were as good as it gets for a pure hunting bow in my book. IMHO they never topped that until the Triax. I'm that impressed with mine. I'm itching for October to get here now so I can get some blood on it. My 2nd choice would be a NoCam HTX. I really liked the one I had as it was very smooth. But having a little more gas with the Triax is nice

The outback may be one of my favorite bows of all time and they can be had for very reasonable as they are an older bow. I shot and still shoot hoyts. I had a mathews creed and killed a buncha deer with it but it didnt agree with me. I really liked the the single limb mathews bows like the z7 and the heli-m. All of these can be had for reasonable.

sounds like you're leaning Mathews, but ... i'm the resident Bear guy & love my Bear bows; if I weren't shooting Bear, i'd check out PSE & possibly some of the Elite stuff ... there's an Elite bow FS in the Classifieds that's a great looking bow ... if I wasn't over-subscribed, I'd be checking into it for sure ...

speaking of BEAR bows, in the old days before compounds "BEAR" was the bow to shoot, I got an invitation to go to the BEAR ARCHERY complex in FL. , we spent 3 days there, toured the entire complex, worked on bows, I had an old Jennings bow with a broken limb, I got to help build anew set of limbs for my bow, toured the "BEAR" musemn , PAPA BEAR was still alive, it was a great trip.

Go Matthews. Went from Martin to Diamond to Matthews and I'll never buy anything but a Matthews again! Love my heli-m especially with Shaw's custom strings. Made a great bow better.
