Mathews 2016 Halon! Leaked

[rjcruiser]

Me too, I ain't paying that much for a bow with a 5" brace,

I'm not a Mathews fan by any means...but...it seems like just a few years ago...we would all scoff at 6" brace heights going into the woods. Now...anything above 7 seems huge and 6 seems standard.

I think technology is getting better and better to allow the same forgiveness at lower brace heights.

I saw both bows at Reeves Archery Center in Clayton yesterday, they are both really nice looking bows. The no cam is a little shorter that last year,"only change I could tell". I shot the halon 6, 28 inch draw with a carbon express 350 red arrow 70 lb. It shot 298 fps once and 296 fps twice, the bow draws and shoots very smooth but a little slow for an IBO in the 340's. With a hunting weight arrow of about 400 grains it was in the 288 fps range. If you want to shoot it they have the halon 6 and the no cam in stock and they will let you try the bow. Great bow but I was wishing for a little more speed.

If you're going to make a bow with a 6" brace height, then it should be capable of shooting in the 350 IBO range. There are several bows in that category that can do it and are very good shooters.

I shot the 6 at Bow Hunters Supply and it feel good and smooth, but I bought a Hoyt Defiant, it felt just as good if not better and was $200 less.

Did not ask because I'm gonna finish out the season with my Pse.

Well I ordered mine last night. Saying February on getting it in though. Looks like I'll have a nice Elite Energy 32 for sale after this season.
