    Coworker let me borrow his z7 extreme . I relay enjoy shooting it. I found a used 1 that is a 70/29 his is a 60/28.
    What will it cost me to get 2 new or used limbs and I think u have to change cam right for draw. Is this a good bow and easy to work on or should I try to find an upgraded model easier to work on. Thanks for help

    If you're just replacing the cams I'd say go for it. You can get it done for $50-70 at a shop. If you want to change both cams and limbs, I'd just look for a different bow.

    Thanks I found a Mathews chill 2014 locally. 50-60 with letter E on modules. Think I need to drop 1/2 size on my draw. Even with my release tightened up hand seems a little to far behind my jaw and having a hard time keeping my nose on the string. It came with maxima carbon express .hunter 250. Bow is set at 52 lbs. How do I determine if these are right. I will be hunting whitetail. And what weight Broadhead. Thanks for helping me out.

    Max250 should be fine with your setup and a 100 grain head.

    The shop near me let me do a cam swap on my Z7 from a 29" to a 27" and they didn't change me anything. They even installed it for me. :)

    That is awesome! You can't beat a good Pro Shop.
