How is the Loop Hook release? I use the C-12 release, which is basically a C-10 but you pull the trigger back, draw your bow, and let go of the trigger. I was thinking about trying the C-10, but the Loop Hook sounds more easy to load, because my C-12 was a pain in the ass to load. So which one, C-10 or Loop Hook?
Great shooting, My only tip, drop your poundage on the bow a little until you get used to shooting. As my bow tuner always says "70 pounds? What are you planning on killing, elephants?" 60-65lbs draw weight carries more than enough kenetic energy to hunt most anything on the continent.
TIP: and this isnt a form or you need to this with your hand tip....unless you want to look like the newdie at the range dont sti your arrows in your quiver get a hip quiver or use the tubes they have....
I'm shooting a lot better now, switched to a stiffer arrow and feathers vs. blazers. That was only 20 yds indoors. I'm shooting accurately at 30-50 yds and when I'm feeling a little crazy there's a 60 yard target to shoot at just for fun.
@thehunter826 No offense taken. Believe it or not this is my 1st bow. This video was shot after only owning it one month. I've learned to shoot with an open hand and not grip the handle so tight...I was fortunate enough to have a little guidance from an archery coach that was shooting indoors at the same time I was, he pointed out some of my flaws. Also...the draw weight...I could barely pull back 60 lb when I first got bow. I was trying to ramp up to 70 lb. My draw is much smoother now.
@nref55 The main point of this video was to show the Lumenoks in slow motion. Despite only owning it about a month at the time this video was shot and it being my 1st compound bow EVER...I'd say for a beginner...not too bad. I'll have to get out to the club again with my camera and shoot another one I guess. ; )
take the quiver off, if you have 3 arrows thats a certain weight. each time you take 1 arrow off, you change the weight. It can make the bow unbalanced.
shoot some broadheads on there and i bet they dont tune. you are underspined if you are shooting a .400 spine arrow from a 70 lbs z7 at 30 inch draw. your only getting 306 because you have weight on the string and I would bet you are losing energy to an underspined arrow. I started shooting the day after thanksgiving and bought the same bow and the shop sold me the same arrow. except my draw is 28 and i was underspined and pissed when i found out when i put a broadhead on
@aanderson66:Thanks for the tip! I started off at 60lbs with these arrows. It was harder to pull back at 1st having never really shot a bow, but when you shoot all the time you quickly build up to 70lbs. I did paper tune with the .400 @ 60/70 lbs and shot perfect bullet holes at each weight, but like you said I bet I am losing a lot of energy on launch due to the shaft flexing. I'll post an update after I get the new arrows.
that's crazy because I did the same thing with starting out at 60lbs then I quicky was pulling 70 back. I bought the gold tip 7595 pro hunters when I turned the poundage up. they tuned perfect for me all the way from 65 to 70lbs. I see gander mountain has them for around 40 or 50 dollars. tough to beat that when my shop sells them for 79 for a half dozen.
@aanderson66 The 7595s are a .340 spine if I'm not mistaken? I had someone from GoldTip suggest I use one of their target arrows for hunting. What's the difference between the two? Hunting vs. Target arrows that is.
yes the 7595 are a .340 spine. some target arrows are lighter so they shoot faster and drop less (but also weaker). I think anyting thats a line cutter or X cutter is a really wide shaft and you dont want that for hunting. with your draw and at 70lbs that bow should shoot a hunting arrow at or above 300fps. thats a pretty flat shooting bow with alot of KE. you can use a lighter target arrow but you might break a few more than the hunting ones.
@aanderson66 I got the Pro Hunter's 7595 with feathers...I can't believe the difference from my Hunter XT's with blazers. I hope to have a Turkey video uploaded in the next week : ) Going hunting.
@chooeee Hey man im shooting a pse bow madness and am realy looking at this bow! Do you sugest it over any other bow youve ever shot? Hoyt sucks so dont tell me that! What release do you use?
@zziNsanityz I've only shot Mathews brand. Out of all the ones I've shot I thought this had one of the smoothest draws. Besides this bow, I shot the DXT the most. I like this more than the DXT. It's very accurate. You won't be disappointed. I use a WinnArchery Loop Hook release which is great for hunting. You just snag your loop with the release...you don't have to close the release around the loop. It's a lot quicker & easier in my opinion.
maxing out the z7 with competition arrows is not a good idea. you should allow 5 grains per fps of speed. im shooting the z7 pulling 57lbs, 28 inch draw and are pushing the beman 500's, 7.1gpi to their maximum limit. shooting 284fps
Talked to my guy at the proshop. Going to try out some GoldTip Pro Hunters 7595, getting them fletches with 4" RH feathers. I'm curious to see how feathers are vs. blazers.
@prescole The pressure of your string pushing against the nock when you shoot turns them on the Lumenok.

You use a video editor like "Sony Vegas Video Pro" If you have that program you use a CTRL+drag function to extend the clip.

how do you like your mathews z7 i got mine on layaway i cant wait to get it
bobcool77 2 years ago
Considering it the my 1st compound bow and I'm fairly new to archery...I love it.
I tried the Reezen, Monster, and a couple of other Mathews bows at a pro shop, but it was my friends DXT that got me started.
I found the Z7 to have pretty smooth draw and shoots great.
You will enjoy yours. I really like the single pin site vs. multiple pins.
