Nice!!!!
I'm still shooting an Outback. In fact, I'm so comfortable with the Outback I bought another a few years after I bought my first. I would like to upgrade but mine is still doing great and I know the bow inside and out.

Congrat on the new Mattews.

Where do you buy a Mathews?

I really want one. Here there basically the Ten Point Oracle X of compound.

A Ten Point Oracle X is so accurate it will hit ur last arrow basically every time. And is very strong

I think my son just got a Prime. His first “new” bow. They’ve come a long ways, lol. I believe I could pull that thing back and pass it off to someone while it’s still at full draw. He gets new strings every two years for life with that particular bow.

Congrats Bruce, I’m still shooting a Q2. Put new strings and cables on it and it’s “almost” like having a new bow, lol. My Mathews is 24yrs old and still killing.

Looks like it probably would cost a whole lot of marten pelts. Lol. I bowhunted since age 12 and pretty much give it up 5 years ago at age 70. The last two bows I shot were a Matthew's Q2 and Matthew's Switchback. I shot Hoyt and PSE before that. They all got the job done if you did yours. Good luck and happy hunting Bruce.

Congrats Bruce! You'll love it. I finally moved on from my Halon 6 and got a lift. Great shooting bow!

If you think traps and trapping gear are expensive......go price yourself a new bow outfit.

The bow pictured at the too of this thread is probably over $1200 just for the bow....still have to buy a rest, sights, quiver, stabilizer, peep, string loop, arrows, points.

Those are toys for someone that is serious about archery....

It was long, hard to tune and slow. But at least it was loud.

Never did kill anything with that bow and almost gave up on bow hunting. I then bought a Bear ‘Pro Specialist’ and I was soon off to the races.

Have had many over the years. They just don’t hold their value.
