    I currently own a mission eliminator 2 and intend to buy a new bow by the end of this archery season. I am either going to buy an older Mathews (Z7 extreme for 600.00) or a new Mathews (Creed or 2014 bow for 1000.00 plus) I am on a pretty tight budget and am not sure what I should do. I figured some of you have owned the newest Mathews for the last few years and might be able to give me your opinion.

    I went out and shot the new ZXT, Chill and the Creed. I fell in love with the Creed. Smoothest drawing bow I have ever shot. Great release and super quiet. I'm currently waiting on the 2014 line to be released to see what comes out and then I'm either buying something new or the 2013 Creed. Good luck on your search. Just make sure whatever bow you buy shoot the crap out of it before you buy. Make sure it fits you.

    My opinion would be to wait till next week and see what Mathews has new for this year then decide.

    This x10. Why buy now when all of the companies are releasing their new lineups.

    The Creed is on my to do list, rock solid bow, but only as a back up to my 5.

    I would watch your local craigslist. Mathews has a very loyal and intense following. There will be a lot of bows hitting craigslist to buy the next latest and greatest mathews bows. I got a used Heli-m at an excellent price and couldn't be happier with it. Or find a shop that still has a few 2012 bows that are gonna try to clear out their shelves.

    I loved the Z7 Extreme, and I also love my new Creed. Both are great shooting bows. Good luck in your search!
