The following is a breakdown of Mathews’ available cams. For more details, visit your Mathews retailer.
About the MaxCam™ on your bow Mathews invented the perimeter-weighted cam, technology that creates a flywheel effect which lengthens and strengthens the cam’s power stroke, dramatically increasing arrow speed while also reducing recoil. We call our perimeter-weighted cams “MaxCams”. There are multiple different MaxCams: Note: MaxCams are not compatible with any Mathews non-MaxCam model. The use of a MaxCam™ on such models will void the warranty of that bow.
Q: Can I take the string suppressor arms off and still shoot my bow? A: No, this would not be a safe thing to do. To incorporate the suppressor arms the limbs must be drilled, and the arms put on and then the screws installed. If removed, it could make the limbs weak and could possibly cause damage to the bow and/or personal injury. Q: Can the Harmonic Damper weights be interchanged? A: Yes, they can be arranged for a custom fit and feel.
StraightLine COBRA Cam With dual perimeter weights, the StraightLine Cobra Cam is incredibly fast and forgiving. Engineered for the Switchback, it offers the bestever combination of speed and smooth shooting. Available in either 80% or 65% let-off.
StraightLine OUTB Cam The Mathews OUTBACK features the StraightLine High Performance Cam (OUTB stands for Outback High Performance). It’s been customized to fit on the Outback in either 80% or 65% let-off.
StraightLine OVAT Cam Another version of the revolutionay HP Cam, (THE LEAST COMPLEX, MOST ADVANCED cam) this one is designed specifically for the Mathews Ovation. Like every High Performance Cam, it's StraightLine, smooth and remarkably fast! Available in 80% or 65% let-off.
Mustang Perf o rmance Cam A perimeter-weighted StraightLine cam designed specifically for the short-draw Mustang. Like every Mathews cam, it's perimeter-weighted for more speed (which is especially important on bows with lower draw weights) and less recoil. It comes in 70% let-off.
StraightLine LXHP (High Perf o rmance) Cam The LEAST COMPLEX, MOST ADVANCED cam ever engineered, the revolutionary StraightLine Cam is superior to any cam (single cams, 11/2 cams, two cams) we've ever tested! This smooth-shooting, straight-line, high let-off cam is smokin' fast! And, it is available on the Mathews LX in either 80% or 65% let-off.

Q: What type of bow press should I use with my Mathews bow? A: A dual-roller type works best. Stay away from center pull presses. It may damage your riser. Q: Can I order parts directly from Mathews? A: Any part, under warranty or otherwise, should be ordered directly through any of our authorized Mathews retailers. They can get parts to repair your bow and, if necessary, can send the bow to the factory for repairs. The Mathews retailer must initiate all repairs. Q: Why doesn’t Mathews have a split-limb bow? A: Some manufacturers introduced split-limb designs to reduce bow weight. Our bows are already among the lightest on the market. In fact, when you compare the width and weight of our SlimLine limbs to many of the split-limbs (the combination of both limb halves), our limbs are narrower and lighter! Also, through testing, we’ve determined that splitlimbs are inferior, because they often have an unbalanced load. If you place a straight-edge across the limb halves, you’ll often find they aren’t even with each other. They might have a neat cosmetic look, but we have yet to find any shooting benefits. Q: I want to introduce my children to arc h e ry, but I don’t want to be burdened with buying a new bow every time they grow a few inches. What can I do? A: The Mathews Genesis is the answer. It’s a bow that fits virtually everyone. Its zero let-off design means there are no specific draw lengths. Anybody with a draw between 15" and 30" can shoot the bow. So, as kids grow, they won’t outgrow this bow! And, at 20 pounds, the Genesis will shoot an arrow with the speed of a 35-pound recurve!
