Comments: I have been shooting compound bows for many years now, and I rarely get excited about new products. I decided to give the Z-Light a try. and let me tell you I am extremely excited about my new bow. The main reason I purchased this bow is because of its weight, or should I say, lack there of. The Z-Light weighs in at an modest 3 1/4 pounds, a mere pleasure to hunt with. The thing that really got me going was how deadly accurate this bow is. For a short bow, 36" axle to axle, it is very forgiving, the 80% let-off makes holding the bow very easy. This Matthews product is the most consistent bow I have ever shot, the quietest bow I have ever shot, and the flat out nicest bow I have ever shot PERIOD. I highly recommend the Matthews Z-Light, or any bow made by Matthews.
