    Hoping to soon get a new Bow looking at the Heilm, ZXT , or the creed XS i want something smooth shooting and accurate. I do A LOT of deer, and turkey hunting so it needs to be quiet too. Just wondering what you guys thought would be a all around good bow for me. Thanks for your input!:deer:

    Do yourself a favor and shoot every bow you can get your hands on. I went in last year dead set on buying either the creed or chill and walked out with a mission ballistic. I shot all the hoyts, several bowtechs, elite, all from mathews, several pse and bear.

    ^^^^^What he said!!! You will never know what bow is right for you just by looking at them and just because a specific bow is right for someone else doesn't mean you will like it. Go have some fun testing all the different ones and you will be able to decide which one you like best! All those you mentioned are great bows and would be more then fine for turkey hunting!

    Pick what feels right to you, I prefer the Helim over any bow Mathews has ever put out.

    The best bows I've ever owned are the Mathews creed and and my new creed xs the xs is awesome and so smooth drawing and shooting. But you should get what feels good to you shoot it all and buy what feels like the other half of your arm or an extension of it lol just get what feels right to you goodluck

    Then helim rocks but a like my chill better. It just shoots more accurate. Paper tunes easier and shoots straight and flat. But I love my helim as well.

    I like to use PSE Brute X because it has great aim power, IBO Speed Rating: 320 Feet Per Second for more info you can look on compoundbowhq

    IBO Speed: 320 FPS Brace Height:7.25 In.

    Draw Length: 25-30 In. Let-off:75%

    Draw Weight: 50,60,70# Bow Weight: 4.7#

    This bow is priced so low
    The speed & power for the price
    This bow has a super smooth draw cycle

    This is a very similar bow to the z7x. It's by far my favorite bow ever.
    I had a z7x, traded it for an insanity, then traded the insanity back to a z7x.

    congrats on the new bow!
