MATHEWS BOW REVIEWS
Mathews is known for making super smooth and lightweight, 2012 is no exception. The new Mathews Helim comes with a variety of features diehard bowhunters will love. This bow weighs in at 3.5 pounds. The Geo Grid Lock Riser, the Dead End String Stop Lite and the Harmonic Stabilizer Lite are lighter than last years’ riser, string stop and harmonic stabilizer which helped reduce the overall weight of the bow without sacrificing strength and durability.
Another great feature found on the Helim is the size. It is only 30 inches axle to axle, which will come in handy regardless if you are hunting in the backcountry needing a compact lightweight bow when you are hiking miles every day or if you are a diehard treestand hunter and need a bow that is easy to manuever in a tight spot. The Helim is powered by the Helim cam which is super fast and efficient: two things every bowhunter needs in a bow. The bow shoots an arrow up to 332 FPS.
Other key features include a 7-inch brace height which is very forgiving, resulting in better accuracy at longer ranges. The Helim is available in draw lengths from 26-30 inches and draw weights of 40-70 pounds including 65 pounds. The Helim is available in Lost Cam or black. A variety of different colored dampers and accessories can be purchased for your bow so you can give it a custom feel.
I love the fact that the bow is super light and short. I enjoy hunting from a pop-up ground blind for turkeys and deer. When hunting from a seated position, an extra short bow really shines.
