No, but I'm a big Mathews fan. I have a Drenalin. I'm looking forward to hearing how the dual cam system works out. I've read a lot about the bow and it looks terrific. Keep me posted.

I'm a mathews fan here. I shoot a switchback XT. Been thinking of selling lately, but then I don't want to end up with something I won't like as much. I also am looking forward to seeing the new dual cam mathews bow. I have heard it is really fast. Fast enough that many drop away rests are having a hard time keeping up:D. I have only one thing agains mathews. Sometimes with their new bows their stings don't line up. If you go to draw the bow the string may miss the channel in the cam and then just start to chaffe the junk out of the serving on the string. If anyone dosen't understand that let me know I'll put pics up. I retied surving there, but you'll see what I mean.

i am a pse guy never shot anything different never wanted too. but i saw this mattews monster and looks like they copied the x force just my opinion but seriously matthews had never made a dual cam bow or a split limb bow and now it came out and it looks like the x force

It isen't cam lean. Just on some mathews the strings don't slide into the cam channels perfectly sometimes. I know of others that have had this problem with their mathews before. Lol don't even ask why i haven't returned it yet. I dunno. I retied surving on the spot and it is holding up well now. From what I hear mathews is aware of this problem and will fix it with no questions asked. I'll probably take care of it at the end of this archery season.

Thanks guys. So far i love it. I looked at the rezzen but it was a little small for my hand. I like how the monster is a bulkier bow and it shhot great super fast. Dont see how guy said it is loud i think it is very quiet.

Ace.

I had a problem with my Drenalin at first. The string actually rolled off of the cam half way through the draw and it snapped. I have the scar on my forearm to commemorate the occurance. Nonetheless, I am still a Mathews guy. The company took care of the problem with no questions asked. Overnighted my bow to the factory and had it back within 72 hours. They replaced everything except the riser because when the string broke it was like a dry fire.

Have been shooting that bow now for three years, and I shoot a lot, all year. New string and cable last year and I re-served the string on the cam side, that is all.

I think a lot of a company that reacts well to problems. Warranty and support after the purchase is hugh in my opinion.

Just shot a bunch of bows and the matthews monster 7.0 was my second choice. I am a hoyt guy and will admit the monster was much easier to draw, more quiet and had less hand shock than the hoyt alpha burner. I ended up buying the bowtech destroyer 350 because it shot as well as the monster in every catagory, it was lighter and looks nicer. The monster was a very close second IMO.
