DXT

[jhol]

Alright the time has come for me to purchase a new bow, I am looking at the Matthews DXT. I want to know if the guys who shoot them think they are really worth all the money? If not what else would you consider buying?

Thanks

I'm happy with mine. Not sure what you mean by "worth all that money". They are not cheap but neither are many of the others out there.

No, a new Matthews is not cheap and you do pay some extra for the name but look at the quality one recieves.

Short, light, smooth, fast, and quiet. It's up to you if it's worth it. Also, Mathews bows hold their value a little better than most bows. In case you decide you need a new bow in a couple years.

If you keep it for 10 years that $800 bow only cost $80 per year. At least that's how I justify buying expensive toys.

I am happy with my Dxt! I shot 6 deer so far this year and can't say anything bad. It handels great ! All the top of the line bows are spendy so shoot them all and you will feel if its right for you

Maybe it was just sticker shock when I priced out the DXT. It has been a long time since I bought a bow my last one was used ten years ago for about $150. From what I have heard the DXT is best of the best, I just wanted to know if anybody bought one and then was dissapointed for any reason.

I have shot some of the competitors and to me nothing felt as smooth as the matthews.

Thanks again for feedback.

I would agree jhol, the DXT was the smoothest bow I shot. My best advice is tell the dealer not to tell you the total price hand him a credit card and close your eyes when you sign. I tell you what though it feels like I have $1,300 worth of equiptment. I have the utmost confidence in my DXT.

I still have an LX, still shoots great. I'm not one to buy a new bow every year because this one still shoots as good as the day I bought it. So I'm sure it's well worth the money if you plan on keeping it for a while.

The DXT is a great bow and worth every penny. Now if your pinching the pennys than I would look at other brands or other models that mathews have to offer. Don't get caught up in the best of the best B.S. IMO I have a highend jobber becuase of some great deals and extra $$$ I came into but if I was going to coin up out of my pocket I would consider a Bear, Diamond, Hoyt, and the Dream season line of bows.

Believe me you can still miss a buck of a life time with a $1,300 bow just as easy as a $450 bow. I proved that last night!!!

I LOVE my DXT.

I shot quite a few bows and when I drew the dxt back it was mine. I knew right then and there. I shot each bow several time and tried to keep an open mind but I fell in love w/ the dxt. I have a really bad shoulder (2 surgeries last year) so I was limited to 60# and wanted a smooth pulling bow.

the only negative about the bow is the price. when i totaled up how much my entire rig cost i got butterflies. this bow better last me ten years!!!
