New for 2023 is Mathews Image. It is designed to be a lower poundage alternative to folks who are having shoulder problems and need a lower poundage but full size bow. Shoulder issues have become an issue for me. I'm finding that this year I have been struggling to draw my 60# Hei-M. It is mainly my left shoulder. It feels like I have an aggravated or torn tendon it there. It makes it difficult to hold the bow at arms length while it is drawn, so maybe a new bow is not the answer since it is really not the draw weight but holding the actual mass of the bow at arms length.
I saw this bow and thought it might be a good one to get, but a new bow is a whole new can of worms once you go down the rabbit hole of quivers, sights, arrows, etc., ad nauseum. I would keep my old bow and not strip it for sights, quiver, etc.
Maybe my local shop will have one for me to look at. I am really leaning toward getting a 50 pound set of limbs for the bow I have. I could do that for a few hundred bucks.
I think I am just struggling with a bout of "newbowitis".
