    I just ordered my new bows for 2012. I'm pretty happy with my twin Z28's (one RealTree Snow and the other RealTree AP) so I'll be keeping them as my hunting bows for at least another year. I am going to be getting back on the target scene this year though so;

    For 3D
    2012 Elite Answer in AT (black riser camo limbs) Max 1

    For Spots
    2012 Elite Tour in AT Snow

    Sounds like I'll have to wait a month on the Answer and I hope to have the Tour (it's getting some custom touches) by Christmas.

    Nice looking bows Rob. I have been wanting to shoot some of the new Elites.

    I know you mentioned your Z28's, did you ever purchase the Hunter this last year?

    Nice looking bows. I'm sure you'll enjoy them, Rob.

    To this day, the Z28 is one of the best bows I've ever shot. That snow camo one you have is badass.

    Nice bows Rob! I ordered my.....oh I don't know.....2020 bow last year and got it the same day. Gotta feeling this Mathews Reezen Z7 will be the last bow I own.

    No reason to get a Hunter if you already had a Z28. The draw was a very slight bit softer but there wasn't enough change to make it feasible so I very happily stuck with what I have. If I do replace the Z's for 2013 I'm thinking it will be with the Answer, unless they come out with something smaller for 2013 or I put the Answer cams on a Hunter...

    Very cool Rob! Excited to see how that Answer shoots. Have really been thinking about getting an Elite myself. How close are they on their IBO? In other words, are they shooting their advertised speeds?

    I haven't shot an IBO arrow through any of them to test but when back calculating IBO speed based on the chronographed speed of my real world arrows they have been right on the money or even a bit better than advertised.
