Mathews TRX 7 Long Term Review

The Mathews TRX 7 has a retail price of about $1,800 and specs include an axle-to-axle length of 40 inches, brace height of 7 inches, mass weight of 4.92 pounds, and IBO rated speed of 332 feet per second. Draw lengths range from 23 to 30 inches in half-inch increments with module changes.

I found the draw cycle of the Mathews TRX 7 to be a bit stiff, but it's incredibly smooth with absolutely no dump off into the valley. That stiff draw is to be expected with a bow this quick, however, and it's far from unpleasant. Once at full draw, the bow is eager to jump on you if your form breaks down at all. I prefer to shoot this bow with one turn out of the limbs, which makes the valley more manageable for me. Archers who consistently pull strongly into the wall should have no trouble. For a cable stop bow, the wall on the TRX is quite solid and was a nice surprise.

Once at full draw, the TRX felt incredibly stable. In fact, I found it the most stable of all the target bows I tested.
