Mathews MR6

Has anyone ever shot or owned the Mathews MR6?

 

I currently shoot an original Monster (the predecesor to the MR6) and love it. I did change from 70# limbs to 60# due to some shoulder issues, but, it shoots exactly the same 265fps with a 482 grain arrow at 28" draw length.

 

I shoot an MR8 and it works really well, not the MR6 but same series at least. The draw cycle is pretty smooth I think and it shoots pretty quietly!

 

Owned an M6 and now an MR7 and a Chill'r. Great " top of the food chain" bow IMO.

Short 6'' brace height on the MR6 if your not used to it.

BTW. My Chill'r only shoots 6 FPS faster than my MR7:-/ But much lighter.

 

Love my MR6! Only downside is its a bit heavy...was really hoping they would make an MR6 Heli lol. But they went the other way and got rid of it all together. Oh well, for me I think its one of the best bows made.

 

Like what cmonsta said the MRs are a bit on the heavy side but they will flat out sling an arrow. Definitely a good bow. If you are new to archery or just starting again it might be better to look at the MR7 or MR8. The MR6 shoots fine but a little more brace helps sometimes.

 

You just asking around or is there a question in there?

 

I've got an MR6 - awesome bow!! RH, 60#, camo riser with black limbs, 5 pin black gold vengeance, trophy taker smack-down pro, mathews quiver and yes, purple peep site with purple and yellow strings.... I've got some shoulder issues so I'm pretty picky on the draw cycle - long story short, I love it.... The VAP V1's I'm shooting out of it hit the target like a hammer.... As mentioned by others, it is a litter heavier, that would be one downside....

Feel free to ask me any specific questions....

 

Cmonsta, Do you have anything else on the strings?

 

I just bought a New MR6 that has never been setup, my draw length is 26 and it is a 50lbs bow. I was going to use it for Target Archery, and keep my HeliM for Hunting.

I just saw this bow and it was a great deal. Just wanted to see what people's experience is with this bow. I am pretty experienced shooter, so I thought it was a great investment.

 

IMO...You did really good. I would hunt with it and leave the heli in the truck as a backup. Rock Solid Bow..both of em.

 

Peep and kisser, nothing fancy. My over all set up is boring, just a beast of a bow, tough as nails arrows, and a good QAD drop away. I love my bow. Want to fancy it up though, will over time.

 

I was flabbergasted (<== Always wanted to use this word) when I found out it was brand new never been fired, still has the string seperator in it.

Like I said I don't like to carry a heavy bow hunting and the HeliM is a super smooth bow IMHO. My bow collection will always be only a select few bows, even if they are old (new may not necessarilly mean better). Now if they make a cross between the HeliM and the MR5, consider it purchased LOL.

With that said, I will probably hunt with my MR6, depending on the situation.

Thank you everyone for all your input.

 

I have a mr6. Ive had it a month and all i can say is WOW! Its my second bow. First was a bear Outbreak. Ive only been in to it since September of last year. My monster has... HHA optimizer lite, rip cord arrow rest, axion stabilizer, 70# with 29''DL.

@gniper3006 Trying to do a speed study on it, how heavy of an arrow and how fast was it on the Chrono?

 

Also I know that this bow fits in a Plano, but are there any other bow cases ya'll use for this bow?

 

Ive shot maxima red 250 and the bow is smoking. 72# DW, 29''DL, JUST peep and Dloop... 340s.

So what is the weight of the Arrow and the speed on the chrono?

 

250 maxima red is 8.1 gr... I also have victory hv 450..6.7 gr. They fly but haven't checked for speed yet. The maxima red 250..correction,348 fps
