sodfather Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 thats actually a great price... how are you liking th bow? I have only had a chance to shoot it at 15 yards cause its to dam cold to shoot out side, and love it. Thats why people are saying buy used for what just have to shop around for new if you want it bad. The only thing is it does not fit in alot of hard cases cause of its width, so had to order one from Mathews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santamour123 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Akins archery in watertown is 899 for the z7 extreme which is retail. But if you do a deal with no trade in he will take 10% off (809 plus tax) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno C Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 the Z7 tactical has carbon, its filmed dipped limbs what ever that means.... The limbs arent carbon fiber, they are dipped with a carbon fiber design. Not the same thing. The Hoyts have carbon fiber risers. thats pretty much what i said... i would be amused tho to actually see a truck drive over a carbon bow and see the bow shoot well after that. carbon is strong, its not that strong. ive had hoods and other car parts made of carbon, its a lite agent with nice durability in comparison to its weight, but its not extremely strong material. but then again bows were not designed to be driven over lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bow dealers are not selling them the same price they buy them for. i am pretty sure there is room to negotiate. especially if a shop is not really moving bows. i bet one guy can buy a bow and another guy walk in right behind him buy the same bow and they might pay 2 different prices. flash some cash, i bet they will come down alittle in price for cash. may not be 100's but every little bit helps. high 7s seems right for a bare boned mathews, depending on the model. if your paying 900 for a bare boned mathews you might wanna shop around.

If you look at more videos in that series, Im pretty sure they shoot the bows they run over. The CF they make hoods and most other car parts out of is different, more like fiberglass. CF is used for all kinds of frames in bicycles, and even cars. Aston Martin has a supercar they built out of mostly CF. http://www.carbonfibergear.com/aston-martin-one-77-supercar-carbon-fiber-in-the-raw/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
