Well, we got a Mathews Monster in at the shop this morning. I looked it over really good, put the proper sized mods on it, threw a whisker bisquit on, leveled it up, set center shot, crimped a brass knock on it, and took it out and shot it. All I can say is WOW.... This is a speed demon!!! 
I payed real close attention to detail while I was shooting it, due to all of the info I had read on here. It had a tiny hint of hand vibration, not at all like it was descriped in previous evaluations I had read. The overall draw of the bow was super smooth. The vally was WAY smoother then I expected it to be, again, due to what I read on here. The wall was nice and solid, and the really nice thing about the wall is that when you pulled through the vally, it was almost instant. I would say the vally starts at about 80-86% through the draw cycle and then BOOM a nice solid wall.
The let off was pretty amazing, It felt as if I could really relax while at full draw. It didnt want to take off on you like some had mentioned in other posts.
The bow was surprizingly very very quiet. A hint of string noise, but nothing some cat whiskers and a string supressor woulnt take care of.
The bow is a tad on the heavy side. A couple of weeks of shooting it and you would have those little stabilizer muscles built up enough to not notice it, but at first, it does feel a tad heavy.
I am giving this bow :thumbs_up:thumbs_up and a big thanks to Matt McPherson and Mathews Inc. for another great bow.
If Matt designs this bow in a 7" brace height next year, I will be buying one for sure. But I am not going to sacrifice accuracy for speed, personally.
I highly reccomend shooting it for yourself before making any decisions on the bow. I went out to shoot the bow with low expections due to some of the other reviews, but I was blown away at the overall performance of this bow.
NJ and Eastern PA archers, if you want to shoot it, come on over to Blackwater Sports Center in Vineland, NJ, We will set it to your draw length and let you give this a test drive.
