    alien, good shooting. i put more credit to you than the bow doing tight groups.

    i am in the market for a new bow. i am 99% sure i am buying a mathews Z7. it is supposed to feel like my current SBXT, but add speed. i shot the reezen, which is hyper fast, but draws and feels like a tuning fork.

    here was a great day of shooting. i was hitting tight groups at 60 all day. i was practicing for an upcoming couse deer hunt in AZ.

    i went today. the Z7 is amazing. the valley is super short, and sneaks up on me. will take getting used to. at full draw, i have to stay alert, or the string will snap forward on me. at full draw, the wall is ROCK solid. my SBXT is mushy by comparison. the draw length will need to be perfect,but once setup, i bet consistent anchor points will be cake.

    once turkey season ends..3rd weekend of may, i am buying one. or i kill my third bird.

    i also shot that mega $$ carbon fiber hoyt..super great bow. smooth.
