    currently iv been shooting/hunting with the Mathews z7 extreme cents its been out on the market, i love it, iv shot alot of animals with it and theirs many memory's along with it. buut something in me wants to get a new mathews, ive really been think about the helim. but maybe the creed as a second option. is it really worth it, what do u think about it

    That's a hard call Dale. The zx cam is awesome. The helim has the same cam so there won't be a huge difference in the draw cycle. You may like the longer ATA and the lighter weight though (in my opinion the helim is one of the best on the market). I haven't shot the creed yet but a bow tech friend of mine told me I would like the creed even better than the helim.
    Go shoot them both. They may wow you, or you may just decide it's not worth the money to get rid of your z7x. I used to have one, and honestly, I was looking at trading my insanity in on one just last week...

    The ZXT shoots nice too, and will be very similar to the Z7X. I loved the feel of the Creed so I ordered one up. I was upgrading from a Drenalin though.

    Does the ZXT use the zx cam though? There's almost no difference between the z7x and the zxt. (Your creed looks awesome by the way)

    I was looking for the Z7 Extreme when I bought my Heli'm. The only reason I went with the Heli'm was because they didn't have it in my draw length. Honestly, I didn't notice that much difference at all. I'd stick with the bow you have an invest im a new stand or a few trail cams.
