Is the Mathews Z7 still considered a good bow?

If you shoot it well and like it is really all that matters. One of my good friends hunts with a Z7 extreme and kills giant bucks pretty much yearly. All in what you like. Bows have advanced some since the single cam era, but those bows are still out there hunting and guys successful with them. You don't have to have the latest and greatest.

Amen. Still have my old LX as my main bow. Sure there are quieter/faster/sexier but there's nothing wrong with the old bows. As long as it shoots well and you're comfortable with it go for it. I have no issues with the guys that buy the latest and greatest every year and sooner or later I'll get something new, but it's certainly not a requirement to be successful in the woods.

Just bought a Z7 se4. My first bow in almost 30 years, so I didn't want to put a ton of money into one. I actually got the bow from an older guy who had it destrung because he couldn't physically hunt anymore. Gave him $40 for it. Took it to the local bow shop, put on a new string, like it just came out the box. After everything I've added and the new string, I have about $175 in the bow. Couldn't be happier.
