Sure Mathews makes a good bow and I know some of the guys that work down there at the Sparta plant. So I get some "news" once in a while from them. But under no circumstances shall I say anything. But I will say this, again they make a great bow, but they dont have a warranty to back them up. They have a warranty but it CAN NOT and WILL NOT ever compete with PSE's and Bear's warranty. If youre going to pay so much money for something, wouldnt it be nice to have something to fall back on if something should go wrong. When I buy a bow, its not how much I pay for it, its, what is the company going to do for me if I buy their product. Think of buying a bow like buying a car or life insurance. Im not trying to make this a pissing match just want to let ya know where I stand when it comes to Mathews products. But again, they make great bows, Ive shot alot of Mathews.
What leads you to believe that Mathews has a lesser warranty than Bear/PSE? As someone that has actually processed warranty claims for all 3 of those manufacturers (I used to work in a shop).......I can say that their warranties are all very similar. All 3 of those companies tend to warranty just about anything you call them for and are VERY lenient. They are all limited lifetime warranties, except that Bear will not cover limbs 100% though after the first 5 years. I've seen Mathews fully warranty a nearly 10 year old bow when I plainly told Mathews that the customer admitted to dry firing the bow causing the damage. They tend to be super flexible. If your hearing/seeing warranty problems with Mathews your dealer may not be telling you the whole story.

I was checking out their new lineup last night, and I have to admit I was impressed. The Reezen looks like a sweet bow! The Monster looked a lot like the PSEs of recent years with the quad limbs and overall limb design. Very X-Force-like to me. But hey, if it shoots as good as they say and puts up speeds like that, I'd be willing to check them out. I think I'm going to be shooting a lot of bows at ATA this year, that's for sure. :D
yeah i know what you mean bout the Monster looking like the PSE! even the color scheme!!!!!!huh? oh well somthing new will be out next yr!!!!
Two cams????????? I'm almost tempted! Might have to shoot them at least. Sorry to be anal Isaiah, but your speeds don't match up with your bows. The two Monsters were the fastest. lp
