    As expected Mathews is launching a pair of new bows at the ATA show - the Halon X and Halon X Pro. I'll have video and photos tomorrow after the show opens. The cam system looks like a smaller version of the Crosscentric cam and it has perimeter weights on it. The only difference I see between the X and X Pro is engraving on the limb pockets - unless I'm missing something.

    Specs as follows:
    - Up to 330 fps @ 75% letoff/328 fps @ 85%
    - 35" axle to axle
    - 7" brace height
    - 4.94 lbs
    - 50, 60, 70 lbs
    - 26" to 30.5" draw lengths
    - Mini Crosscentric cam system
    - MSRP $1,299

    Good news for me is that my Halon 6, on order, still seems to be the perfect fit for my uses with its smaller axle to axle of 30".

    I saw a picture of a Z3 on another site and it is a solo cam. Looked like the Z2 to me to be honest lol.

    Nice bow. But was hoping for something a little different.

    Not defending Mathews...but is this what the Archery world has grown into? 330fps is slow.....I bet I'm shooting next year around 25 or 260 fps after I build my new arrows and will continue to get full pass throughs like I did this year with a bow that shoots slower than this. Speed isn't everything.

    Next thing you know it people will start saying 2 inches worth of cutting for a broadhead is kinda small...

    Am I missing something or are those specs pretty close to a no cam?
