They're all great bows. It's all about which one feels best to YOU. When you find the right bow - you'll know. Don't buy a bow to fit in with the 'groupies'. I kinda forced myself to go from a solo cam to a binary and I want to kick my own butt for it every time I shoot the darn thing.

I wish I could help you. I've shot Mathews since the early 90's, with a little bit of PSE and Rytera thrown in. Didn't keep the latter two very long, just didn't feel good to me.
I would try the 2013 line of Mathews before deciding on the Helim, just to be on the safe side per say.

I have shot them all. I honestly don't buy into brands or manufacturers, but simply on reliability and preformance. I own a destroyer 350 and love it. I shot every make when I bought my bow and the 350 was it for me. I do have to say the Z7 was a close second at time of purchase though. the 350 just felt better and shot better in my hand than the z7

I have a Diamond black-ice, and like it a lot. But I'm thinking about buying a bowtech insanity. Love what I've read, but need to shoot to see for sure?! I just can't seem to find a dealer?!

I agree firmly with everyone thanks bunch i to dont care for binary or split limb bows cam get outa tune way too easy n every hoyt or split limb bow ive shot has developed a twang i cudnt get rid of after bout 1000 arrows, no offense to hoyt by that remark they do mke a hell of a bow n ive owned a few, n ive owned bear , pse n a jennings but i always returned to a mathews n hve stuck with them for several yrs cuz they never let me down, but now i just cant get past the waffle iron look of the bows, so i figured id broaden my horizons befor my next upgrade n like i said speed means little to me bcuz if Mr.bear n our other forfathers cud take large n small game with little more than 100 ft a sec. Then well over 250 shud be a breeze for us its all about shot placement n the rt monent to shoot.

Not a great fan of cross bows but if any of u get chance to shoot the tec 15 by pse.... all i can say is WOW!!! I got the chance last weekend at the deerlease shot a pig at 82 yrds n the head between eye n ear ( lucky shot btw) but went thru skull had half n inch bfor the fletch touchd i was impressed! My buddy who owned the bow was shooting a 4" group at 100 yrds i cudnt beleive it it was cool not a great fan of pse either but i was impressed...

Insanity...or elite anwser

I prefer the Assassin to the Insanity, just don't care for it much. If I had to buy a new bow right now, it would be an Elite Answer, those things are freaking sweet.

The Answer is a sweet bow very smooth draw and can hold for days! I also shoot an Invasion thinking about letting it go for a Destroyer.
