I'll take one!

 

now that they are out and you can order custom strings, tells us Justin, what colors will you be rocking on that bow?

 

Same as my last one - chartreuse/silver strings.

 

I'm disappointed in the price for the women's and youth bows.

 

Man I love that elevate ll pattern

 

I'm fairly certain this is the bow I will be shooting next year without even shooting it. I love my HTR No Cam no question. When I shot the Halon 6 last year I loved the smoothness, the beefy feel, and the power it produced. I wasn't super happy about the shortness of the bow being I'm 6 ft 2. I also didn't like the new Lost Camo XD. I liked my No Cam better based on how well it held in my hand and the string angle.

Now you have a long A2A Halon (same as the No Cam, 32) with more power than the HTR and a very smooth draw. Also I'm in love with Elevated II pattern. I think Mathews did the right thing by taking their Halon, a bow that has received an enormous amount of praise in the hunting industry and building off of that to make it more versatile for a larger market of shooters. They didn't reinvent the wheel, they just made the wheel better for more people! Great job Mathews!

 

Nice bows, but the million dollar question is, will they need to be shimmed to tune properly?

 

Which one is the Elevated 2 pattern? Elevated 2 as in Sitka's Elevated 2??

 

Nevermind... I see it now, I didn't see them listed as options on the website...

 

I agree. I think the guys that are taller or longer draw lengths will especially like this version. I'm only 5'9" tall with a 27" draw length so I'm sticking with my Halon 6

 

I have the HTR as well. Felt like a smoother draw than the Halon. I, too, am curious about how the 32" ATA Halon 2017 shoots in comparison. Afraid to go shoot one for fear I'll want one. Just bought my wife a Zeiss scope for her .243 and another big expenditure isn't an option right now. LOL.

 

I shot the Halon 32 today in 6" in the Elevated II pattern. I loved it. I want it in a 7" brace height. I do like the Elevated II camo. I'm going to place my order tomorrow morning.

 

The EVII does have me intrigued. Will have to shoot it this year when shopping.

 

It would go great with a new set of Fanatic bibs!

 

I took this picture. Isn't that Elevated II sexy. Now where in the world will I get a quiver and stabilizer to match???

 

Which just happen to be on their way

Sent from my Turbo 2.

 

Check out the b-stinger in the sandstorm pattern. Not an exact match but I think is as close as they get.

 

Does anyone know if there's any possibly way to get a Halon 7 in the elevated ll? I didn't know if you could possibly specially order one.

 

Now I'm finding out that the 7" doesn't come in the Elevated II. What a let down. I guess I'll go with the Lost XD...
