Q:
Just got back from shooting the new Mathews Helium! what can i say.. its lightweight, and shoots fast, it has a little vibe compared to the z7 extreme, but the winning component for me is that when you touch off the trigger, you can barely hear it, its that quiet. Highly recommend. Im going to get mine ASAP

I also shot the Helim today! Great bow 10 out of 10 for me.
Im gonna have to disagree about it being a little more vibe then the Z7 Xtreme. I have the Z7X and have about 7,000 arrows through it. Ive really gotten to know this bow well. I believe then Helim was right there with it.
How did you like the Helim's draw cycle?
I found it even smoother then the Z7 and Z7 Xtremes. Not by much but The differance was there.
Yeah, i did notice that. It was silky smooth, and settled in nicely at full draw. Only problem was i got a little to comfortable at full draw and it jumped about 3 inches or so, but that was user error, not to be confused for the bow's fault. I agree with you, 10 out of 10
sounds really light....i prefer a bit of a heavier bow, just because its a bit steadier with a little more weight in your hands....but i dont doubt matthews did a good job with it.

Yeah the bow does wanna take off on you if you creep a little. But so did the Z7 and Z7X. It just promotes proper shooting form though.
my bow doesnt need to be super duper quiet and fast to kill a deer...my bow just needs to be affordable
