I didn’t think they had the Keebler draw mods out for the VXR yet. grin

I really like that new camo pattern, nice bow Shaw! What color string set you gonna build for her?

Spent a few hours today setting it up. Went with the gun metal string color with black serving. It has 26” 60# switch mods on it and it topped out at 60.3#. Out of the box, the VXR is one of the best balanced bows Mathews has ever put out. Not sure if I’ll keep the back bar on it or not. It draws a little smoother than my Triax, but I’m pulling 62# on the Triax. The VXR has a touch of hand vibration at the shot where the Triax has none. Definitely nothing to be concerned with and can probably be eliminated by putting Alpha Shocks in the limbs. Speed seems to be right with the Triax and is just as quiet.

The Triax has one design flaw, the angle of the grip. The bow tunes better with a higher wrist grip. The only way to correct it is to go with an aftermarket grip. Some people did not have issues or never knew they had issues because they never attempted to tune it to shoot fixed heads. With the stock grip my fixed heads continuously impacted higher than my field points and I could not tune it out. Once I put a higher wrist grip on it, it tuned perfectly. Mathews redesigned their grip last year and it’s the best one they‘ve ever offered. They also corrected the grip angle by angling the riser forward in the grip area. This was my main reason for wanting to get one. I’ll start the process of bareshaft tuning here in a couple days. Can’t wait to pop the cherry on it in October.

That’s good info about the grip vs. tuning. I’m not in the market for a new bow right now, but I’ll remember that for the future.

I read where this bow is not as top heavy feeling as the Triax, and sounds like you confirmed it balances better.

Glad to hear they fixed the grip angle and you killed it with that string color choice. thumbup
