    Mathews z7 Extreme Bow

    in Hunting Items For Sale and Trade

    Posted

    Hello. I'd like to offer you $500. I have 2 kids in college, so I have to spend wisely. I hope you understand. I've bow hunted for over 45 years and I really could use a more modern bow.

    Thanks,Bill

    Hate to break it to you Bill but I sold this thing about a week ago. Just forgot to update the post until now. Good luck on finding one!

    Mathews z7 Extreme Bow

    Posted · Edited by Twax10

    For sale is a Mathews z7 extreme. This bow is in mint condition. I bought it brand new about 3 years ago, hunted with it for 1 year and it has sat in the case ever sense.

    28" draw length and I believe the draw weight is set to 65lbs, which is adjustable. It comes with an Extreme 4 pin fiber optic sight (which matches the bow camo and has a level), an Apache stabilizer, braided wrist sling, a drop away rest (I believe it is a Trophy Ridge) and 6 Carbon Express Arrows (3 are equipped with Lumenok's). I will also throw in the padded carry case which secures the bow and has a spot for your arrows/quiver and release.

    This bow is ready to hunt. You won't find a nicer used bow. If you have an questions feel free to ask. I am not interested in trades at this time. Thank you

    Asking $700

    2 liter pop bottle. Just sayin'

    Oil filters work better (so I've heard). You can buy adapters online (so I've heard). Throw in a few subsonics and all you can hear is the hammer drop. At least that's what a friend told me.

    That's a good poke, nice shooting. I had one of the farmers flag me down while I was driving by a few days ago. Said there's been a "big chuck" out behind the Mexican trailers for a few weeks that he wanted me to get rid of. I just happened to have my gun in the truck so I told him that he would be there for long. 5 minutes later... f33b5877106af034ac9e372d791a593d.jpg

    how does the new gun shoot compared to the a17? using the same ammo? doing good. keep at it. saw some out today while out around town but didn't have to go hunting.

    It shoots well. I've only put the A17 Ammo through it so far but I got sub-moa groups with ease so I figured there was no need to try anything else. I have had a few fte's and the bolt isn't as smooth as I would like. It's still new though (<50 rounds) so we'll see how it goes with a little more shooting. It's got a great feel and a smooth trigger. Overall I'm happy so far.

    there's definitely a lull between now and the time we cut a hay field that depends on the weather/rain. grass is definitely tall. setting up watching sides of hills or knolls are best now.

    They cut half of the hay field that I've been shooting most of my chucks out of this summer. The good half is yet to be cut so I'm looking forward to that.

    The first one I shot was actually in the cut part of the field but he was half in his hole and there was some tall grass around it which made for a more difficult shot. I like those shots tho. They'll really test how good you are with your firearm. Also it will either be a clean miss or a clean hit. Nothing in between.

    Buds Gun Shop got me with their 180 days to pay program a few weeks ago and I snagged a Ruger American in 17hmr for like $300. My will power is weak when it comes to guns. It'll be interesting to see how the two measure up.

    l like bubble level ring you've got on your scope. I've thought about getting one. probably definitely helps with the 17HMR.

    My 2 nikons have the BDC reticles so holding the rifle straight up and down can be a big deal at longer ranges. All I have to do is open my left eye and the bubble is right in my field of view. Close my left eye and get back on target, then make the shot. I also have one on my 223 that has a Nikon P-223 on it. It can really make a difference when trying to make those 500-600 yard shots.

    Here is what I see in the scope of my 17, minus the number values. But all I did was have a sticker made up with this image on it and stuck it to my butt stock for quick reference. You can see it in my first pictures on the rifle. 130cd5165b3224c692503626c73a9a6f.jpg

    How do you like it...I've been looking at them regularly

    I really liked the idea of a semi 17 when I saw it was coming out last year. I waited on it for a little while but finally decided to buy it at the beginning of the year despite seeing numerous negative reviews. I figured I'd give it a shot. I've been very happy so far. I haven't had any of the magazine issues that I saw online, the cycling has been nearly 100% reliable (2 FTF's out of maybe 400 rounds) and it will shoot 1 hole 3 shot groups at 100 yards if I do my part.

    And as far as the hunting has gone it's been great. I've only missed 2 chucks so far which I'm sure was shooter error. I also killed a fox and a coyote with it earlier in the year.

    Overall it's a keeper in my mind.

    What do you do with them?

    Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Depends. Got one farmer that likes to eat them but the others either want them tossed out or stuffed back down the hole. They tell me to do anything I can to get rid of them.
