5 out of 5 New to archery
Scott George –
Just got into archery with intent to hunt. Bought a budget bow to see if I liked archery. Realized quickly that you get what you pay for. Went to a pro shop and learned what good feels like. I shot several bows in the $500-$900 range, PSE, Elite and Mathews. Couldn’t believe how good the Mathews Tactic shot. Very smooth draw, great wall, and very little vibration with a bare bow. Got some accessories, sighted in and I can’t believe how my groupings improved just with this bow. Great price for an exceptional quality bow.

There is too much good to say about this here. Compact, forgiving, accurate, quiet, fast, camo / breaks up in woods, smooth draw cycle, efficient, dead in the hand. Wish I could say the same about the bow that I upgraded from. Excellent value!

This bow is amazing. Smooth draw cycle, solid back wall, quiet release, and deadly accurate. I set it down from 60#s to 50#s and it still hits just as hard. Absolutely love this bow!

I bought this bow after shooting another name brand. I can’t be more satisfied with this bow and especially for the price. Some draw, wall and it’s as they say…stealth…can’t wait for this years season with this bow.

Always shot PSE bows due to price. Spent the extra money for my first Mathews, everything about this bow is absolutely flawless! The release is unbelievably smooth. I will never shoot anything but Matthews from this point on

Went to bow shop after 14 yrs with old Hoyt. Last time I shot a Matthews it was a solo cam and I hated it. Shot about 7 other bows then he brought me the Tactic I knew immediately that it was the one I wanted. It was so smooth.

Drake Schmeiderer –
Growing up we always shot in backyard games and playing around, but never caught the itch to deer hunt. Fast forward 10 years to last year, I finally got the itch. Borrowed a buddy’s Parker to get my form and skill back. Did kill a nice doe Nov 2019. Then picked up a PSE at a steal of a price. Thought it was a great bow, until I was at the local shop checking out the sales on the 2019 bows while they were waiting on the 2020s to arrive. Picked up a comparable priced PSE, and bowtech bows. Then put the Tactic in my hand. Wow! What a major difference! Balanced nearly perfect in hand. Brought it home, took off accessories I had on PSE and put on Tactic. When fully loaded, it weighed less than the PSE bare. Mathews will be my bow from now on.

Decided to get into archery hunting this year. Tried out numerous other bows before settling on the Tactic. I freaking love this bow. Solid and incredibly easy to shoot. Love it.

Dean Buchholz –
I have shot an SQ2 for the past 19 years. I loved hunting with it due to its size and maneuverability. After shooting the Tactic at the archery shop, my decision to buy a new bow was easy. It has a smooth draw cycle, feels very stable for quick pin-target acquisition, shoots quietly, and has almost completely unnoticeable hand-shock. My groups are better than I have ever had. Excellent bow and value.

Nathan Brown –
Just purchased the Tactic today. Went out shooting it this evening with my wife who just got the Matthews Avail in yesterday. She absolutely loves hers! It’s easy for her to manage and she doesn’t get tired from shooting it several times. It packs a pretty good punch as well. The tactic was very impressive. I previously had a PSE, it was a good bow but no where near as smooth as the Tactic. Matthews bows, an investment definitely worth the extra money!

Joseph Grant III –
The Tactic is a great bow. At 70lbs, it pulls back like a dream with a back wall you can feel. It’s light and is deadly silent. If this is a “price point bow,” I can only imagine what the other bows shoot like. This is the best thing America makes. Well worth the buy.

Jay B –
I could no longer draw my 50# Z7, due to shoulder problems. I opted to retire my crossbow. I bought the Tactic 40-50#, in hopes of getting back into the compound bow hunting. WOW, its lighter, easier to hold, and seems to have great speed, set at 47#, I can draw and feel confident it will kill a deer or black bear with a nice expandable broadhead. Accuracy is phenomenal. Thanks Mathews!!!!
