I'll shoot that new Matthews for ya, if you're not going to use it, lol!

LOL - I am struggling with it just because how heavy it is with all the bells and whistles. I am going to have to start doing a lot of DB front raises so I can hold this thing up :) That's why I love my recurve, it so lightweight and gets the job done (that is it gets the job done if I do my part).

Good man. Nice to see another prime shooter!

Prime makes some of the best in the business. My kids also goto school with kids of primes VP and I have met him a bunch of times. Really good people! I really want a logix!

I have never shot a prime but I have heard good things about them. Maybe next year I'm at the shop I'll pick one up and shoot it

A Martin Alien Z. I have two of them . One for hunting one for 3D . Martin doesn't make the Alien Z bows anymore they were their top of the line bows at one time . My friend shot pro for Martin and gave me both of the bows. Both bows are set at 55lb and are 28" draw length. Great friend .

2018 Bowtech Realm for me... absolutely love it. I've changed between 6 bows in the last 5 years. I just like trying new stuff. This Realm is super nice.

Your reviews of the Triax is what sold me, it's my first Matthews. I've only added my sights and rest to keep the weight down. Since my eyesight isn't what it was I find the Triax a great hunting bow out to 40yds. Great in the saddle and loved it for turkey season as I hunt without a blind. Smooth to draw and fast enough for me, quiet is what kills. Would love to shoot traditional but I might as well just throw the arrow lol. Thanks for all your input on here Dave.

I'm really surprised by all of the variety, I thought a lot of folks would be shooting similar bows!
