2012 Mathews Heli-M
"20 Years in the Making"

Mathews' big news for 2012 is the strikingly innovative Heli-M ultra-light compound bow with a physical weight of just over three-and-a-hald pounds, which must meke it among the lightest full-featured compound bows ever offered by a mojor builder. The newest addition to the Mathews compound-bow line-up appears to be our old favourite Z7 after a visit to a weight-loss spa. first off, the new Geo-Grid-Lock riser has noticably less alloy in its skelital frame, and both the Reverse Assist Roller Guard and the Dead Stop string stop are greatly reduced is weight by using carbon fibre rod in the place amchined aluminium.

Lighter Than Air?

Well, not quite but almost. With only 30 inches in Axle-to-Axle length and only three-and-a-half pounds in cary weight (not counting all the attachments and accessories you add, of course), the Heli-M is a compact and ultra-lightweight hunting bow ready to go anywhere you want to take it. The Heli-M combines that small physical size and low cary weight with the potential accuracy, flat trajectory, and down-range kenetic energy that makes it capably of taking any game animal you want to persue. The 7-inch brace height makes the Heli-M a extremely forgiving bow to shoot, and because the generous brace height gets the arrow away faster than a bow with a shorter brace height, you are bound to notice tighter groups and improves accuracy at all distances and under all shooting conditions. With arrow speeds as fast as 330 feet-per-second, the Heli-M will shoot farther and hit harder than any other bow in its class. The amazing ZX Cam combined with the extraordinary Reverse Assist Roller Guard has earned all the Z-Seriesbows a reputation as the smoothest-drawing bows ever.
