RE: Any News yet from the ATA show
I don't know if this bow is gonna make it to production or not.. they told me that it was a custom machined riser... I don't know if it's just a concept or someone just playing around w/ different designs. But it was pretty sweet!
Oh yeah.. forgot to mention that it was at like a 28 3/4 or 29" draw to boot!

RE: Any News yet from the ATA show
All these Mathews shooters doubting Mathews, and how they made a big mistake, they are building on their bows, getting rid of the ones that are obsolete, that don't have the newer technology, some have not shot any, and they are already disappointed, yeah well you do not know how good or bad it is unless you have shot it!
You all expect TOO much from Mathews after all of these years, the reason the Liberty from Bowtech is such a big hit, is it is a brand new bow, you all think Mathews is going to come out with the perfect bow made just for you, well they don't! Mathews does not listen to the public that much, they are going against all the other companies, trying to match them or beat them, like Hoyt and the Vipertec, or Bowtech and the MM VFT!! Those are the companies they are going against, they noticed their SQ2 was outdated, and fixed that by making the Outback! Thank them for coming out with new bows! And go out and shoot them, then make your presumptions about the bow(s)!!

I'd say not at all is more to the point. Old Matt knows what's best for the public. And expects them to swallow it, no questions asked.

RE: Any News yet from the ATA show
Just to clarify about the BowTech bow (btw..nice BS'ing w/ ya Ken)...
It's a production BK riser (2004) unfinished (silver)..had some camo limbs on it. It's Kevin Strother's BK. He shot it several times through the whole show. By Saturday evening and some tweaking it ended up like this:
29.25" AMO draw. 69 pounds. 349.9 grain arrow. higher letoff (65%) mods:360 FPS. All measured/verified right in front of my eyes by Norb Mullaney.
55% modules shot 365 FPS.
Just for grins Kev took the point out of one of the heavier (425 grain arrows), and stripped some fletches, and ended up w/ a 300. something grain arrow. That shot 378 FPS.
Imagine what it would do with one of those 225 grain HCA arrows & a 30" AMO draw length ! [
]
And believe it or not, the bow was not overly loud.
EDIT: as an addendum, the production BKs we had at the shooting booth (29"/70s) shot 338-344 FPS all day long. They were not long either.
