As most of you know I purchased a Mathews Outback last year and was fairly pleased with the performance. This year, however is a completely different story.
I began shooting a good bit several weeks ago and after a couple weeks of shooting I began to notice the consistency of the arrow flight and my shot placement was decreasing. I carried my bow to the bow shop and they noticed the alignment holes on the cam were no longer parallel with the string. When I bought the bow I had the draw weight maxed out at 71 lbs. We checked it when I took it in and it was only pulling about 62, so they looked deeper and found that the cable had stretched, leaving everything out of whack. Replaced the cable with a brand new one, tuned the bow (now back up to 71 lb draw weight)and took it home.
After another week of shooting same thing happens. Consistency is gone. I take it in this morning and it's only pulling 65lbs and it's back out of alignment already.
Needless to say I am not happy. I had my old High Country for 13 years without a problem and I have this new, high dollar Mathews for less then a year and alot of problems. It's frustrating to say the least, especially this close to the opener. By now I usually have broadheads on and am ready to sit a stand. Far from it this year.
I e-mailed the tech folks at Mathews, but have not heard back from them.
Anyone else ever experience anything similar of have any ideas that may shed some light on this problem (other then saying I should have bought a Bowtech or Hoyt, cause I may be inclined to agree with you at this point).
Thanks in advance for any help.
