Mathews 2026 Bows

[billysmals]

Mathews website is now dark with a date: 11/12/25 as the only thing posted. Looks like things are coming tomorrow.

Every single new Mathews thread that comes up somebody will say something like this as if it’s the first time it’s ever been posted.

Because every bow company, not just Mathews makes it so easy. It also shows how effective marketing/advertising is along with the old saying it is easy to fool people, it is almost impossible to convince people they have been fooled. With that said if it makes you happy to buy a new bow go for it! Just understand the biggest advantage you are gaining is that warm fuzzy feeling you get knowing you have a new bow.

That area of the riser that would hold the female threads for the limb bolts looks pretty lacking. I'm thinking that's an AI or Photoshop rendition?

Just purchased the smooth mods from Mathews, will be interesting how it helps my lift 33 draw

 

[rodney482]

only thing I am interested in is the smooth mods for my lift X.

They may have done damage to their sales by offering something that fits the Lift and Lift X... but they will still sell thousands there is no doubt

$779.97 just for stabilizers plus $20/oz for weights. Every Mathews bow takes 16-20 oz of weight to point, so you're over a grand just in bars.

I don't understand Mathews customers.

Same cam, longer limbs, "smooth" mods, and an extra $100 on the price tag. Pretty typical. Looks slick though.

I have a liftx 29.5 and run bo stabilizers or anything. She points and shoots perfect for me. What are you talking about. I can't imagine a how being any more stable running nothing than this.

You can’t tell how much your pins are floating if your standard is a 4 inch dot at 20 yards.

Go shoot a group at 80 yards with no bars and then tell me how great it holds.

Stabilizers don't fix pin float. Stabilizers are to anchor the bow at the shot. While the string is going to brace, and the bow is held in a single point.


Mass weight slows float, but doesn't fix it, that's a function of fit and form.

Why would I go shoot at 80 yards? I have absolutely no reason to. My longest shot on my land is 35 yards. The average is under 20. She's rock solid for what I do. I don't see the point of buying a lightweight compact bow and then throwing a bunch of extra weight and gadgets on it that completely take away the point of a compact lightweight bow.

Stabilizers absolutely directly affect pin float. Their entire purpose is to make the bow move less at full draw by balancing the bow and increasing inertia through leverage and mass weight.

No, they aren't.

They are there to hold the bow stable through the shot.

Lots of people try to use them to steady the bow, its not what they are actually supposed to be used for, and is usually actually compounding problems people have because they are using them to try to fix a problem.


A short stabilizer isn't doing anything outside of adding mass anyways.
