    I've owned the fx, Z7 extreme, and creed xs..... so far I like my creed xs the best.

    The Z7 series is the Best Mathews Bow EVER made!

    I was in love with the Creed after watching all the BHOD guys shoot it..the specs and split limb design specifically. I still haven't got around to shooting it but then again, it will be hard for me to replace my Z7

    I shot all the Mathews bows they had at my local shop. When I got to the Creed XS, I couldn't put the damn thing down. Best bow I ever shot and couldn't be happier with my purchase.

    I have owned the Outback, Z7 and the Chill. I really liked all of them I guess that is why I am still shooting a Mathews.

    This is my second z7x. I shoot a lot of different bows but still love to shoot this one.

    Can't afford to get a new bow as finances are just not there. I am still shooting my Mathews Reezen 6.5 I love it. Killed many deer with it and shoots fast enough for me! Just recently put some new toys on it and can't wait to start shooting with it.

    I personally believe the original Z7 was their best bow.

    I shot them all every year since I had a Hoyt Vectrix (2006?)... I never found one good enough to make me jump ship until the HeliM (literally everything I want in a bow). Shot some since and don't even like them as much as mine, much less like the more enough to upgrade again. I'd say it'll be 2020 before I'm in the bow market again...

    I've been shooting a Mathews for the better part of the past 15 years. A couple of my favorites are the Drenalin and the ChillR. I'm patiently waiting for Mathews to release a 34" Solocam bow.

    I love my z7 Xtreme! It is by far the smoothest bow I have ever owned.

    I'd like to own that bow just because they made it. Fast and it just looks mean:)

    I have only shot their newer bows. I shot the Chill R and the Chill X side by side. I also shot other brands as well side by side. Hoyt CST, Hoyt Factor, and Elite Energy 35. Of all the bows I tested the Chill R was my favorite to shoot. It just felt better than the other ones. Needless to say, I purchased the Chill R to replace my old High Country Excalibur I have been using for years.

    I loved my Z7. Love the Creed I shoot now too, but I think the Z7 is my favorite bow ever.

    The Heli-m is a great bow...I have trouble with the valley tho...it's super short and sometimes it wants to jump outta your hands...And the back wall is kinda soft...I think I may have one for sale...if I shoot the creed xs and like it I'm gonna pick one up...but there aren't too many Mathews dealers in Afghanistan so it'll be a minute....

    Thats a tough question. They make great bows, give them all a try is what I would say.
