    They aren't doing anything big because the tech doesn't exist to make big jumps. They have pretty much maxed out Potiential for now

    I think the technical ability to make these ultra-fast bows is certainly there. We've seen bows push 360+ for quite some time now and I guarantee they could squeeze more out of them if they wanted to. The trouble is that nobody has found a way to make a bow that fast without sacrificing shootability. What fun is having a blazingly fast bow if you can't control it or shoot it for long periods of time without needing to ice your shoulder down after?

    Okay.
    I don't understand why anyone would not care how their stuff looks. When all bows have similar performance and prices, there's not a lot left to make a final determination on. It may be a last consideration but it's still there. For me to buy something that I don't particularly like the looks of, it has to have some other feature like performance that's just far enough ahead of anything else for me to deal with it.

    Hope you get your hands on one soon to give a good review.

    I will admit, I'm very chick-like when it comes to how my bow looks. Color coordinated strings, accessories and all.

    :dan: :(

    Justin,

    I think the big thing to look at when comparing the flagship bows from those companies you mentioned is the overall specs. For example, the new Mathews only hits 330 and they even say right there, "up to 330fps". This, even with a 6 1/2" brace height. I believe we'll find this bow to be significantly slower shooting a 400gr + arrow at less than 30" in draw length. I'd be willing to wager my setups on this bow would shoot less than 260fps. But the tradeoff here is smoothness.

    Wheel bows are certainly not new technology, but perhaps Mathews' version does something a bit different. The offset axles sound like something borrowed from Bowtech as they've been doing that for several years now with good success.

    Either way, its nice to see Mathews trying to get out of the single cam world and do something new for them at least. I believe in the coming years, this wheely configuration will be refined, speeds and brace heights will increase while still maintaining the draw cycle that wheely's are known for. I don't see this as anything but good for Mathews and the industry in general.

    Exactly, that's what I meant when I said the tech isn't there. They can't make creeds shoot 360 and still as smooth. It's just not possible right now.

    True, but this isn't exclusive to Mathews. All bow manufacturers are doing this these days. Especially those offering various different cam/mod configurations which adjust the power curve and speed of the bow.

    Again true, but that technology was originated at Mathews with the Monster series bows. They have a patent on it it which is what you see in the AVS cam system. To me the NoCam looks like a hybrid version of a classic wheel system and the AVS system.

    Agreed.

    One thing I ABSOLUTELY love is the white Camo! Damn that will make up for any "appearance" design flaws! :grin:

    Camo goes with almost anything. Just don't mix Realtree with MossyOak. :lol:

    The Look of the Mathews grid riser on their monster bows is what really attracted me to them. Take off the the labels and all the other bows look the same to me.

    Really wish I could get their site to load long enough to learn about the new bows. Other than the video that shares very little I can't get any more info...........:throw:

    i think that the technology is there for the monsters to be pushing those kind of speeds but the bow doesn't even have cams... so it might take them awhile to get the technology for these bows to shoot those kind of speeds
