Got this off another forum, but thought you might like to see it. This pic is from a guy that went to the dealer conference up in Wisconsin this week.

Are we sure that isn't a PSE X-Force he is holding?

I dont think the x force has a roller cable gaurd.

Looks scarry

Other than the roller gaurd looks alot like the x-force.

It was only a joke, but itt doesn't. Its pretty much the same idea on the limbs and cams though.

but with A LOT more misleading advertising and an arm bleeding shorter brace height.........

Everyone I have heard that has shot it did not even come close to slapping their arm with this bow.

what's misleading about their advertising?

was that a vid?? Whats the link??

long story short. the cam was in video mode, however the person with the cam thought it was in picture mode. they pressed the button thinking a pic was taken and then fumbled around with the cam as we all do after taking a pic. so no video, only a still shot from the vid before the fumbling.

He might be talking about the XLR8 which is 5 inch brace height. If anyone wants to ruin there shoulders after owning one of these bows and shooting it for a year or two then go right ahead. Personally I can see someone gettting killed by the Monster XLR8 with such a short brace height. Just think what would happen if something came un done.

I was referring to the 5" brace height.

Great bow gave my bowtech to big kid, shot the monster shot the reezen both great bow's and purchased the new reezen no blood on my arm yet....

5" Brace...man you gotta be on top of your form with that!

Is that the shortest on the market today?

As far as I know, that is the shortest brace height offered for 2009.

Yeah I would like to also know what is so misleading about their advertising. Mathews is a straight up company. No need to bow bash on here. Go to Archery Talk to do that. And yes I do shoot a Mathews now. I have shot many brands over the last 25 years. I shoot what every feels comfortable to me. Just happens Mathews does that for me right now.

I don't recall anyone saying anything bad about people who shoot mathews.

Nothing wrong with Mathews at all. Not bashing the company at all. I admire Matt for setting pride aside for the sake of his company with new and inovative products to keep Mathews Inc viable along with all the staff that Mathews supports.

As far as misleading, you would have to read trade magazines to know what I am talking about.
