Just wondering what you would rather have. A Matthews bow or an Apa Bow?

blackmamba · #2 07-25-2009, 01:14 PM

they are both beautiful bows , but get what fits you best .For me apa is a better fit and I have been shooting them for 5 years now .. The new line up for this year is absolutley amazing . And if your looking for speed then apa is definatley the way to go . I have an x-2 for hunting and am shooting 311 fps with a 27 .5 inch draw .. But its all personal preference , so get what fit you best .. goodluck

Just got back for Minot, ND. and in the Scheels there they had a bunch Matthew's Monsters on hand. Very nice! I heard they were not even really available yet. Very quick bow if that is what is important to you...

Yeah thanks I just wanted to know but I like Apa black mamba lots and Matthews I haven't heard anything really that good but I really like the specs of apa bow. The viper is a VERY nice bow!

I've been shootin' Matthews for about 8 yrs. Then about 4months ago I bought a APA Black Mamba X2 ,I lov it!! I try to shoot it at least 3 or 4 times a week. Recently though I've started pulling on the Matthews as well, I luv it! they are both awesome bows the hardest part of owning both is deciding which to shoot first

pottymouth · #7 07-27-2009, 07:06 PM

i got both.

I really like my Mamba MX1 2009. If you are looking for speed I would go with APA. And if you are looking for smooth, it would be a toss up between the APA Viper and a DXT.

Love my mamba x2

lambski · #10 07-29-2009, 11:01 PM

Matthews= quiet+smooth, I love it. Cant comment on the mamba as I have only shot one a couple of times. My buddy shoots a hoyt and it sounds like a gun. The bows these days are all pretty good, whatever feels the best.

I haven't heard of any limbs cracking (they are pretty much made the same as the ones on my APA

) but I never was fond of their risers (personal preference). The bows are so ugly they have to put a hot model in pictures with them to distract you from the bow

I do want to try an Alien though.

3Dshooter · #17 08-06-2009, 04:39 PM

I have tried the Rytera Alien, a few weeks back. I was expecting a little better quality from this bow. Not quite the fit, feel or finish that I'm looking for.

But I did find a Laura Francese poster in the September issue of "Bow & Arrow Hunting" magazine that I picked up last night

i love my mathews dxt... best i have shot in a long time

BowhuntAB · #19 08-10-2009, 02:32 PM

I've shot em' all and this the PSE X force and the new Omen are way better choices...

Just my opinion.

bearbuster · #20 08-10-2009, 06:49 PM

I just bought a Black mamba mx1. I shot the reezen, DXT, APA viper and the mamba. I personaly liked the Mamba. Was faster and very comfortable. Nothing wrong with the others just personal preference
