    i also shoot a mathews Z7. it is okay. not sure if it is the bow for me. i am perfectly accurate with it, but not in love with the draw cycle. i find it hard to hold at full draw for a long time.

    helim. is a single cam.
    your bowtech..double cam.

    some of those new Bear bows are super smooth. never ever even picked up a Martin.

    Nice, just a bit out of my price range. I was shooting a RH Cybertech, blew a disc in my neck, ended up going Leftyand bought a Maxxis. Still very happy with my choice!:D
