    Lipstick and Rouge aside in one of my earlier threads I told everyone I got the new HTR a few weeks ago and I have to be honest there is something about this bow that perplexes me, I had a 70# Heli M that was perfectly fine the differences in the way the HTR felt when drawn and when fired were astounding. My accuracy has increased also the biggest thing I have noticed and wonder if anyone else has, my Heli M was set at 60# and because of some shoulder strain I went through a while back it caused me a good bit of pain drawing it when practicing, the HTR set the same seemed so much easier to draw and I have not had any of the pain that I had with the other bow even after taking it up to 65#.

    Could it be the difference between the 80% and 85% or is it just the shear smoothness of the HTR I don't know. If one of you guys does fill me in?

    But finally bottom line I couldn't be happier with this Mathews product and if I had the money I would buy 3 more for my sons. and I bet others will soon be trying to copy this tech!

    Oh and for the record the next time I see a Hog or Deer over the sight pins....just as I release my arrow.... I'll whisper how pretty do you think she is. ;)

    Not to quibble but there's only a 20fps difference between the Hoyt CS Turbo and the No Cam HTR, which can shoot an arrow at 330fps using Mathews 65% let-off Rock Mods. Plenty enough speed to kill just about anything. I don't think your going to get a pass thru with either bow on an American buffalo or a Kodiak bear anyway.

    In Wisconsin.... 350-330=30 :D

    No bow is for everyone, that's why there are hundreds of different models. :D

    Exactly!!! Everyone has their own taste for what they like in a bow. I absolutely love my HTR. My accuracy has increased. and for some odd reason my target panic that I have had for the last 5 years is completely gone! As mentioned above, i'm not sure if it is just the little extra let-off from a 75% LO bow to a 85%. I'm not gonna argue but it sure is nice to not punch the trigger.

    I'm happy, All things aside. I went out to clear leaves off my food plot (our private property) and someone stole all the ratchet straps and other straps off my ladder stand. GAAAHHHHH.... how stupid. Makes me really hate people!

    Would you happen to have a pic of your custom red Mathews NO Cam that you could share?
