I’ve had my halon for 3 seasons and thought I would upgrade to the vertix this year - not b/c I’m unhappy with it, just b/c I planned to upgrade every 2-3 years to keep with the latest tech and to still have some resell value. But, when it came down to it, I just didn’t see enough gain to go through all the trouble of selling my old bow and setting up a new one. They look damn near identical (which I know doesn’t mean anything), and the gains on the vertix were just not very significant. For the minimal improvement, I would have seriously considered it if it had been about a lb lighter. The halon might be the best bow mathews ever made, with the vertix making only slight tweaks to that solid design. Both are good choices if you are looking to get into a new (or new to you) bow. But, Not enough improvement to change if you have the Halon already. I am no expert on bows, that’s Just my take.
