Mathews Monster

Looking for some feedback on the Monster, any owners out there? Who has shot the 60 lb bow?

 

ive shot the 60lb model. and ill be honest when i say, i liked it a lot. The only complaint I had was i thought it was heavy, but he did have it set up for 3D. shooting that bow made me consider a 60lb bow in the future.

 

All I can say is do NOT draw it without an arrow loaded (I know, you never should at any time... but ESPECIALLY with this bow...) and DO NOT creep.

:D

 

Had no interest in shooting it, after picking it up. Very top heavy and just felt heavy overall

 

I haven't held this bow, but I've held the Ross Carnivore. That's a HEAVY bow!

 

I have the Monster XLR8 @ 70lbs and I will be honest it makes you get your form in shape. With the 5" brace it can be very touchy. At one point during the summer I was about to trade it in for a Reezen. I wasnt off really bad, maybe a inch or two but it was enought to where I just couldnt stand the fact of not hitting exactly where I was aiming. I would shoot a very tight group @ 20 yrds exactly where I was aiming then the next round same tight group but 2" left. I finally got things figured out and now I wouldnt trade it for anything. Smoking fast but yes it is a little heavy but its not bad once drawn back. Like said you almost dont want to pull it back unless you plan on puting one down range.

 

there is a write up in the nov 2009 issue of field and stream and bow test,
