Mathews Z7 Xtreme

Mathews Z7 Xtreme . The Mathews Z7 Xtreme is a very compact and high quality bow with the same impressive shootability characteristics as the original Z7. While the eccentric system is cam specific  . Each cam is optimized to deliver the best possible performance. Although it’s a little bit stiff to draw compared to the easiest drawing bows, the draw cycle on the Z7 Xtreme is very smooth and the bow is pretty fast for a single cam rig.

With a very forgiving brace height and efficient cam system . This is a high performing rig from draw to release. Also, the Z7 Xtreme is outfitted with a high quality silencing package, making it very quiet bow with little hand shock and vibration. While it’s shorter AtA length may not suit some long draw length shooters (because of the sharp string angle) . This rig will be ideal for short-to-medium draw length archers who enjoy shooting shorter bows or need a great rig for tree-stand or blind hunting

Mathews is a company that needs no introduction. So, I’m not going to give them one! The new Z7 Xtreme is loaded with features — such as the Grid Lock Riser, ZX Cam, Reverse Assist Roller Guard .  SE5 Composite limbs and a host of vibration-damping accessories —  and I need all the page space possible to cover them. Let’s take a look at the Mathews Z7 Xtreme bow review.

Mathews’ now familiar Grid Lock Riser design does more than just reach out and grab you. The isometric cutouts set on a grid pattern serve to create a strong and stiff platform on which other features and technologies are built. Strength is gained without excess material . Keeping the overall mass weight under four pounds. A Harmonic Stabilizer and Harmonic Damper are set directly into the riser’s body to reduce vibration and noise. If you have ever seen the bare metal riser demonstration using the Harmonic Dampers . You know just how beneficial they are.

A section of the shelf area is actually completed with the top section of the one-piece walnut grip. The SlimFit Inline grip is narrower from top to bottom than the company’s older models — this is my favorite Mathews’ grip to date. Beyond comfort . The polish wood is also functional in allowing the shooter’s hand to repeatedly move into position without excess torque. A single piece of red colored wood is laminated on the centerline of the bow, making initial setup and tuning easier.

Not far up the riser from the grip is the Reverse Assist Roller Guard . Which is mounted on the outside of the sight window. The unique cable-containment system reverses the typical position of the cables in terms of where they contact the rollers. Cables sit on the shooter’s side of the rollers and actually relax more as the bow is drawn. The end result is a smoother draw and less torque on the system. Less torque equals increased consistency and improved accuracy.
