Mathews Heli M

[Mog]

Anyone have any feedback on the Mathews Heli M? Looking for my dad, I have a DXT and love it but don't know much about the Heli M. He is looking at a used one out of state, does anyone know why this Hoyt sticker would be on a mathews bow?

Its a hoyt QAD made specifically for hoyts but they work on other bows. As for the heli-m i did not like it as it was too light to hold steady in any amount of wind. The grip was too fat for such a light bow. Made it extremely easy to torque.

Thanks for the quick reply and feedback!

I'm opposite of avgjoe. Love my helim. Like the size and weight. The one in the pic has a different grip than the original. Has the focus grip making it slimmer than the original wood.

Good point about the grip. Did not notice that. I think the focus grip on any mathews is a great improvemrnt

I agree about the bow being too light. The z7 or the creed (not the creed xs) are both better shooting more forgiving bows

It was a great bow. It was light but once you add sights ,rest, quiver the heft is back up. A focus grip is a must for any Mathews. Mine was a joy to shoot and hunt with. A pound lighter than my monster.

Ive never shot a heli m, but I wouldnt be scared away by the weight. One of the best things about a light bow is that you can add a heavier stabilizer, or a rear stabilizer to better balance the bow while keeping the total weight around the same as one of those other bows without a stabilizer. I shoot a black ice and one of the main reasons I went to look at it was that it was one of the lightest bows on the market at the time. I shoot a fairly heavy offset stabilizer and its the best balanced and best shooting bow ive ever had.
