    Found this on archery talk. Anyone able to confirm or deny if this is in fact mathews new riser design? If so looks like a rip off of what hoyt and elite has in their risers.

    No idea, sure looks like a Mathews riser to me though. Still has the gridlock pattern.

    Who knows. But I don't like it, I don't like the completely straight riser, it doesn't seem strong or like it would shoot well, and it looks bad. Just my opinion.

    I'm sure it would make a nice strut for an aircraft, :lol:

    I'm with ya. Didn't like the gridlock and this just makes me want to puke (No offense to those mathews guys). And looks like it'll weigh like a hunk of rebar.

    Same here. Don't care for the straight risers but love the grid pattern. Very distinct look and if they change it I hope it's equally good looking.
    I'm a visual guy and that's what really drew me to Mathews.

    I agree. I love the grid pattern. It is one of the thing I love about Mathews bows.
