Like the looks of the Traverse, think it'll be a good shooter. Not sure about the tx-5 though. Seems they are just competing against the successful triax and you only gain 2 fps.
I like the Vertix and the Tranverse. I really like the way they corrected the grip angle on the new bows. Gives you more of a medium to high wrist grip. I wound up putting a high wrist grip on my Triax.

I thought the whole point of the Triax was to be a shorter axel to axel version of the Halon, and now we've got the Vertix which is a longer ATA version of the Triax.....so isn't that just a halon with a fancy vibration dampener out front?
I don’t know what it is, but the Triax shoots smoother than the Halon and Halon 32. That fancy dampener on the front works. Look at the new Hoyts. They copied it.

I’m not a Matthews guy (at least for now) but the vertix and triax look like the same bow side by side
Different grip angle and Vertix is 2in longer ATA

Yessir! I’m always gonna shoot what makes me happy and I want everyone else to do the same! If you shoot one be proud of it and don’t worry what anyone else thinks. - SJ22
I'm off for the next two weeks hopefully I can get out the bow shop and check them out. I have it narrowed down to Hoyt, Mathews, or Elite, I try to shoot them all if I have time.

Not sure which exact bows you're considering but, hunt of the day has carried mathews, bowtech, and pretty sure elite several times over the last few weeks. If not elite, it was prime, not sure which

I don’t have a specific model or brand really but out he ones I’ve shot I tend to like Mathews, Hoyt, and Elite. I haven’t shot a prime yet but I will beige I buy. My hunting partner has been a life long Hoyt shooter and recently bought a Prime and says it’s the best bow he’s ever owned.
the tx5 is much faster than triax the reason it ibo's lower is because ibo is based on 30in draw because it only goes to 29 they down grade ibo speeds mine is set on 65 lbs 28 draw with rzs its shooting 225 with nockturnal and 100 gn head

Archers used not to want a bow with less than 7 inches of brace height and would not think of trying a 5 inch brace height bow. If you can shoot a bow with good form and are consistently shooting good at long yardages. Then you can shoot a 5 inch brace height bow. I still shoot an 80 pound bow on occasion. The technology of the early bows barely broke 220 fps. Newer bows easily break 300 fps. and more. IBO speeds published by manufacturers can be hard to obtain. Its somewhat of a fable unless you are willing to shoot an very light arrow.
