A relentless pursuit of archery perfection Mathews® invented single-cam technology, an innovation that changed archery forever, launched Mathews® to the top and directly resulted in the following advantages:

1. More efficient 2. More forgiving 3. More accurate 4. Less recoil 5. Less vibration 6. Less noise 7. Less maintenance 8. No synchronization problems ®

Each and every year Mathews continues to innovate in a relentless pursuit of archery perfection.

Limb Turret TM

SphereLockTM Limb Cup System

The SlimLimbs on a Mathews bow ride on these spindle-shaped Limb Turrets, which spread the load and cradle the limbs.

SphereLock is Mathews’ clever positive locking limb cup system. It’s trim, lightweight and it pivots to assure constant and positive downward limb pressure and alignment.

Featuring

SE 4 Composite Limb SystemTM

Once again, less is more. Mathews revolutionary SE 4 Composite SlimLimbs represent yet another industry first. Thanks to our proprietary SE 4 Composite material the limbs on the latest Mathews are dramatically thinner, yet subsequently stronger. In fact, cycling tests prove SlimLimbs to be twice as strong. Thin is in!

Perimeter-weighted cam TM

Invented by Mathews, the perimeter-weighted cam features a weight (Inertia Disc) on its perimeter.

Because of the energy required to set this weight in motion, momentum builds gradually resulting in a smooth release. The weight gains speed catapulting around the perimeter in opposition to the bow limbs counteracting their momentum thereby reducing recoil. The centrifugal momentum of the weight is ultimately transferred to the arrow resulting in added speed.

Harmonic Damping SystemTM

While they’ve become the visual identifier of a Mathews bow, the bow’s dual Harmonic Dampers are weights that float in an elastomer wheel and absorbs recoil vibration within the bow riser.

So significant is the recoil vibration reduction that this Mathews technology has been licensed for use in other industries.

AeroRiser TM

To a bowhunter bow weight is an enemy. Early on, Mathews eliminated unwanted riser weight by cutting out unnecessary material without compromising the integrity of the bow.

The result is a distinctive look and a lot less weight.

Idler wheel TM

Parallel Limb Design

Roller Guard TM In-Line Competition Grip The walnut grip on a Mathews bow has a distinctive layered line that indicates the centerline of the bow.

Traditional cable rods were subject to unwanted friction. The Roller Guard, another Mathews first, dramatically reduces system friction by guiding bow cables with a low friction wheel.

Zebra® ZS Twist® Premium Bowstring

In an effort to eliminate troublesome peep rotation, the Zebra ZS Twist bowstring utilizes two bundles of strands that are counter-twisted. This opposite twisting dramatically reduces the tendency of a bowstring to rotate and helps to keep your peep sight true.

Parallel limbs are yet another Mathews innovation. The more parallel a bows two limbs, the more they tend to cancel each others’ recoil and vibration resulting is a smoother shooting bow.

Single cam technology eliminated the second cam but it didn’t eliminate the need to connect the bowstring to the opposite limb.

That is the function of the ball bearing Idler wheel.

String SuppressorsTM with Harmonic DampersTM

Before String Suppressors, your bowstring was left to whiplash back and forth between cam and idler wheel. String Suppressors deaden the vibration making for a much quieter and smoother release. Once again, a Mathews innovation which has lately been enhanced with the addition of Harmonic Dampers to the suppressor supports.

Accuracy that is validated at the highest level The ultimate proving ground of a bow’s ability to perform is professional competition.

With big money on the line, pro shooters are going to shoot the bow that gives them the very best chance to win. The numbers speak for themselves: for the 10th consecutive year (2007), Mathews shooters won more professional (ASA and IBO) 3-D tournaments than all other bow brands combined.

If it saves just one young person, isn’t it worth it?

Violence in schools. Youth obesity. Teen pregnancy. Drugs.

Alcohol. A dropout rate in excess of 10%. These are just a few of the problems facing our young people today.

What can be done to reverse these problems? It’s a tall task, but educators, parents and students alike point to The National Archery in the Schools Progam (NASP) as a significant step in the right direction. NASP has proven to teach students responsibility, discipline and respect. It has proven to reach students who could not be reached otherwise. It has proven to influence school attendance. And, it has proven to redirect the lives of numerous young people who were headed in the wrong direction.

The National Archery in the Schools Program is the most successful youth archery program ever. By the end of 2008, it will be found in all 50 states. By the end of the 2006/2007 school year, over 2.3 million youngsters, grades 4 – 12, had received archery instruction as part of their physical education class.

Mathews is the #1 supporter of NASP. Not just because it is important for archery but because of what it is doing for kids.

60

2007 NASP Champions Morgan Floyd and Greg Geary receive awards from Matt & Sherry McPherson.

“That NASP helps to grow archery is wonderful. That it helps change the life of even one young person, is priceless.”

— Matt McPherson

Kids love archery. Teachers love archery.

Administrators love archery.

Parents love archery.

From a student ...

“Archery helps keep kids out of trouble.”

From a coach ...

“It’s amazing, the self-confidence, the self- steem, the belief that they can succeed in something. Archery gives them more confidence in the classroom. I have had several teachers come to me and say ‘Coach, I don’t know what you have done to the student, but keep it up!’”

From a teacher ...

“The changes that I have seen in students involved in archery are just phenomenal. It is totally unbelievable!

The students blossom. Not only in archery but also in the classroom.”

From an administrator ...

“In 21 years in education I have never found a program that has made a bigger impact, had more success stories, and had so few barriers.”

From a magazine article ...

“The word has been out for some time: this new program is hot, it’s cool, and it’s on track to become a varsity sport in every state in the union (other countries, too). It’s changing schools, changing communities, and changing lives.”

From a parent ...

“Before archery, our son was in trouble a lot. He was in a behavioral school and archery gave him the chance to have something to look forward to and get him in a normal classroom again.”

From a principal ...

“Beyond a doubt it’s one of the most successful programs that I have ever seen. You can’t stop it, it’s just too good because everybody can participate ... I have never seen anything like it.”

Mathews Heritage recurve, hybrid and longbow ®

Dymondwood, a uniquely manufactured laminate of dyed hardwoods is the flagship riser material. Carefully selected hardwood veneers are impregnated with thermosetting resins and, under intense heat and pressure, are fused into a homogenous block.

Premium, large-diameter bamboo limbs provide exceptional strength, stability and vibration reduction – not to mention, sheer beauty.

“I’m proud to have taken the first big game animal with the Mathews Heritage Longbow. There is truly something special about going afield with a traditional bow that looks like a work of art, yet offers state-of-the-art materials and performance.”

Joel Maxfield – Mathews Inc.

Monte Carlo style grip conforms exquisitely to your hand.

“I can still see my father, back in the 60’s, putting on arrowheads the old-fashioned way over my grandmother’s stove ... I still have one of those arrows ... I was captivated by the entire experience. These memories and more have inspired me and ultimately resulted in the creation of the Mathews Heritage bows” Matt McPherson – Founder, Mathews Inc.
