I really liked the way the z7 shot, but the draw was not as smooth as the reazin but it felt better to shoot then the reazin. I'm 48 and I will shoot the bow I buy for the rest of my bow hunting life. I cant see me shooting the z7 for another 7-10 years. I liked everything about it but the draw. My PSE stingray set at 64 shooting 274 is easier to draw than the z7 set at 62.I know, blast me now for shooting a pull shoot an explode. I haven't made up my mind yet, Im looking for another bow, because I don't like going on a bow trip with just one bow. I want a back up or my stingray to be my back up. and I wouldn't mind having something new, my stingray is great for a 10-11 year old bow. I also shot a few more mattews which had smoother draws than the z7, but didn't shoot as smooth as the z7.
