Helium...?

Post by nvbowhunting » Wed Aug 01, 2012 9:51 am

What are your guys thoughts on the Mathews Helium? Like it? Dont like it? What is good about it? What would you change? Looking at getting this bow sometime and just wanna hear some opinions about it!

The bow is a nice shooter with the smooth shooting experience I'd expect from a new Mathews.We have one in our shop, nice bow. Lighter than the Element and has metal riser.All of the threaded inserts are titanium. However, I noticed slightly more vibration in the Heli-M than the Z7 series, I believe is due to the lighter weight, Also note, you put a FUNCTIONAL stabilizer of it, and she is back to sweetness

I liked it but like Turok said, it does have some vibration...I like the Z7 alot more but Ive converted to PSE in the last few years and just dont think that even the Heli-M holds up to the Omen Pro, but it's still a heck of a bow no doubt. :thumb

What weight is the stabilizer, because I put a 7oz on and it seemed to do a little number on it, but not what was expected. I would go with at least 12oz

i have a b stinger that is 12 oz i do believe... so i think that would weigh it down good enough. the problem with bows these days is they are ALL good ha.. its like dodge, ford, and chevy (well minus the chevy imo :) haha) but they are all good bows... i`ll just keep shooting around to find one that feels the best ha
