This video is incredible timing. Last year I built my dad a Z7 Magnum, re built it completely and Sunday he passed away unexpectedly at the young age of 53... I will be hunting with the bow I built him from here on out even though I have a vxr and a traverse, just to pay tribute to the experiences and memories we shared together in the woods.
I put in for a raffle about $150 when I of course lost I saved up and bought one. Great bow and it had filled the freezer with elk for me. I will have to look for one later to buy another one here some day
Really good video. I have a V 31, MQ 1, and a Z7 Magnum. All three great bows. Think I might sell the V 31 though as it is not as fast as the Magnum with the same arrow and draw weight.
Doing all the research I can on this bow. I just got my hands on my buddies that he’s letting me shoot and this is my first Mathew’s to ever shoot. I’m really enjoying shooting it. Can’t wait to put a deer down with it this fall!
That's what stinks is the fact that even though they made some products that are better then today's. No bow company's keep them around because human nature always needs something new and exciting. Obsession with their 14 and 15 Evo and Phoenix were their best bows to date. Darton solo cam specter was an amazing shooting bow. I kept mine but the fact is if something ever happens I my chances of replacing it are slim. 🤷♂️
They should take all the best stuff from the old models and make a discount price throwback mathews solid limb bow these things are timeless like rock and roll songs
So if I have an older like new bow for you to do a video on how can I contact you? I don’t really want it anymore, when you are done with the testing wondering what is happening with those old bows? No one wants them. You think some vets or new people could use them for starters? Hmm
i am serching for the magnum now , the extra 2 inches on the ATA may be better ,dunno , but my regular z7 is awesome , if you set them up with all the modern tech ,sight, rest ,and stabilizers ,you will have a semi fast ,very smooth tact driver ,ill go up against anyone with modern bows ,its still that good !
Goes to show you how different people are! I shot a Drenalin during those years because I couldn’t stand the looks of the waffle risers😂 I heard that they were awesome shooting bows! Just couldn’t get past how ugly they were!!! JMO lol
I had the extreme it was a great shooting bow but I just never felt very stable with my aim even loaded up with weight. Killed a lot of deer with that bow though and still have it hanging in the garage. Always been a big fan of the single cam bows but today’s technology on the bows make them super easy to tune.
I bought a used z7 extreme in January 2021. That fall I killed my 3rd archery deer, on public. I love this bow. Had a creed prior to and loved it also but had to sell it for the funds.

Sorry for your loss brother. God bless you and your family. You can take away the fact that you were there for your father and now you can honor him.
god bless you brother ,what a great bow to keep forever , your dad would be very proud !
Charlie, I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my dad too, all of a sudden, unexpectedly. Time will heal things. Give it time.
I wish Mathews would make a solo cam now . That bow is one of the best looking bows made
My buddy had a Z7. I ended up buying a Creed and loved it!
I still think this is mathews coolest looking bow they have made
I wish Mathews would come back with another solid limb bow
This bow was by far my favorite solo cam. Shot this one for a long time. Thanks for this piece of nostalgia guys to🏹🏹🏹😎😎😎😎😎😎

Almost a shame to buy a new bow. Have a Switchback and MQ1 and I am one happy dude!

I still have my z7 extreme 28 ata. I use it for turkey hunting out of a blind. Works great
Loved my Z7 Extreme!
This my favorite bow series.
Thanks
@BowHunterPlanet are you willing to sell your z7 magnum?
Just picked up a Z7 Magnum for $280 from original owner. Had to put a sight and rest on and it’s being tuned up now. Very excited to shoot.
Yes more of these videos really cool
Great review of and older bow.
Keep videos like this coming please
Doing all the research I can on this bow. I just got my hands on my buddies that he’s letting me shoot and this is my first Mathew’s to ever shoot. I’m really enjoying shooting it. Can’t wait to put a deer down with it this fall!
That Z7 is a fantastic bow.
I just completed a full rebuild on my z7 still shoots amazing stays right in their with my v3 31
I had a z7. It was a great bow!
2013 was the prime year for compound bows, they were absolutely at their peak back then. i feel all brands have gone downhill since, slower, heavier.

Yes!!!!! Love it
If you could get your hands on a mission eliminator II. Was a great bow at a great price 👍
That looks like my Z7. Still using the same bow.

what is it bro ? i might want it lol !
Looking to buy ,at this day ,one of this bows Z7 magnum for back up
You guys should review the Mathew’s no cam bow
The z7 came out In 2010 the z7 magnum which is what you are holding came out in 2011.

Wonder what the speed difference was.
Can you please do the XLR8 😊
I still shoot a Mathews Z7
I just can’t bring myself to replace my z7 extreme with anything newer.
V3 is louder not much but it’s noticeable
How can I contact you?

I liked the Geo-Grid on the Chill & Creed bows... The Z design just looks stupid to me. Ha

i will never part with my z7 no matter what , its still a tact driver !!!
I just bought a z7 magnum for 350
I have an mr5
Also I can't seam to find a quiver for the mr5
Idk why compared to other bows I’ve had my z7 just seems to thump the target so much harder
