I think the Helim is the best bow Mathews has ever made. Great shooting bow, specs are perfect IMO. Everything about it for a single cam.
I own a Heli-M. Love it! I haven't been impressed with any Mathews bows since the Heli. It's a perfect mountain/tree stand bow.
My hunting buddy has one and I love shooting it. I've shot the both the Creed and Creed XS. Outta both Creeds I prefer the original hands down....but love the Helim. If I was to buy a single cam bow that would be it.
Only thing I'm worried about with getting a helim is I feel it's getting ready to be discontinued. And aren't dual cams hard to tune? I'm not really looking for speed. I just want a bow that fits well. Smooth draw, little to no vibration, good back wall, yada yada
The Creed XS is just not for me, too short, too long of a Brace Height. The Regular Creed I like much better. If you haven't shot a Helim, I would go shoot one. Unreal IMO, VERY good bow like I said before. I wouldn't care if they aren't going to make them in 2015. Get one now and you don't have to worry about it...lol.
HeliM for sure! I love mine. very accurate smooth vibration free nice back wall! I too have a 26.5 inch draw and getting good speeds at 290 fps at 66 pounds with carbon express blue streaks. Its a pleasure to shoot. But shoot both see which one u like better. I also would recommend the focus grip on which ever bow u end up with. ~Mathews Helim~
Love my Heli-m its a great bow like others have stated here. Love the smooth draw cycle and she's plenty fast! Makes drawing 70lbs feel like 60! Def shoot them both though and feel them out, good luck!!!
It is VERY smooth for sure. Fastest single cam they have made in a while. 332ibo. Isn't bad at all at how smooth it shoots. If I hadn't just picked up that new Bowtech D-350 that would be my back up bow. Hopefully Mathews keeps making them for one more year. I would love to have a Lost camo, 28.5" DL with 65lb. limbs on it.
