    Hi you guys, i simply just need help deciding which bow i should by.
    So i would like to know if anybody has any experience with either or both these bows.
    I like them both in many different ways and i simply just have problems deciding.
    I hunt in Denmark with it where we shoot roe deer at a max distance of 25 m.

    Any help will be appriciaded appreciated.

    I just got the z7x and love it! I never shot the pse but I did shoot a lot of others and the z7x felt the best to me from the draw cycle to the release. Also love the short axel to axel and forgiving brace height. In the end go with what feels right. Can't go wrong either way and its a great dilemma to be in! Happy hunting!

    I bought the Z7 extreme a few weeks ago and I LOVE IT. It has a rock hard back wall, is super smooth, nice and accurate, and is quick and quiet. I have a 29 in draw, set at 70lbs, 385 gr arrow, and get 303 fps.

    I too can't speak for the pse and bought a z7 xtreme.
    That bow fit all the criteria I was looking for, most importantly though, how it felt.
    To me it is one of the ultimate hunting bows, small, fast, whisper quiet, and a smooth draw.

    Im suprised no ones pointed out one is split limed past paralled dual cam while the other is solid limbed parallel single cam. The Evo is more like the Monster than the Z. Too different to even compare.

    You would think so, but no. The PSE is a dual cam, but is just as smooth to draw, about the same speed (a little bit faster than the z7) and almost as quiet.
    They are in the same class, if you have doubt just watch this video from pse: http://www.youtube.com/user/PSEVIDEO#p/u/24/FEpYRVqNirQ

    It's an PSE axe in the video, but its almost the same bow as the dream season. Same cames at least.

    Impossible, too many differences. Compare it to a Monster. Both dual cams, both split limbed. The MR6 has nearly 10fps on the Dreamseason EVO.

    I have recently went to the z7 extreme. I am extremely happy with the entire set up of this bow. I believe it is extremely fast very smooth and the slimness gives you much more manuverability in the woods. As for the pse. sorry I have no experience with that bow, but I would highly recommend you try the mathews out.

    I love my Z7, and I shot them all. It just fit me.

    Umm, you might wanna not look at neither bow. Bowtech is the way to go! Seriously, go and look at a whole bunch of brands, shoot as many as you can. Go for which one feels good in your hand & shoots well for you.

    There is actually a Bow Comparison we did with several bowz and those 2 were in the line up. Check it out... http://www.forhuntersbyhunters.com/2011/03/2011-4hxh-compound-bow-of-year-part-i.html, the PSE Dream Season EVO actually beat all of them in our testing. The only bow that came close to it was the Mathews Monster MR6. I'm goin back to the archery shop to shoot the two over again and make a final decision on which one i'll take home! I'm kinda leanin towardz the PSE though!

    If you basis is speed, compare the MR6 to the PSE Omen pro.

    The Dream Season and the z7 are completely different, 2 great bows, but very different.

    I hear the Evo is really close to the advertised Ibo speed.
