Comment on Jennings Carbon Extreme Compound Bow Review by John 'DOE'

In the 90′s I used to shoot IBO competitions. Most of the guys on the circuit knew me as “DOE”. I shot several different bows and most people knew I was CHEAP.

So while in Grants Sporting goods in Dalton Ga looking and drooling at bows trying to improve my standings among my friends who beat me constantly during competitions. One of those friends picked up a Jennings Carbon Extreme some guy had bought 2 weeks prior and had it all set up for shooting. They turned to me and said “DOE maybe this bow will help you hahahaha”.

I pulled the bow back and it was so sweet and smooth on the draw, and the kisser button fell right into the corner of my mouth as it should, Peep sight fell onto the bead sights like the best sight picture ever. I turned around asked the price – now remember I am CHEAP, Roger said “Doe you know you’re cheap and no way you would buy it if it was 200 dollars” he said it and I bought it and a dozen arrows, you would have thought I kicked his puppy. Needless to say by the 3rd tournament after buying that bow I started beating my friends in competitions, by the end of the season none of my friends could touch me.

Finally shot a 298 out of 300 for my first tournament win. That was back in 1991. The guys at Benton shooters supply tell me I should get into the 21 century but they shut up when they look downrange at the 10 ring and see that mass of arrows touching one another – what else can you say, this is one fine bow it has had the cables replaced a couple of times probably had 100,000 arrows shot through it, I used to practice 3 hours a day seven days a week rain or shine hot or cold for 3-4 years so that is a lot of arrows.

Only time this bow ever failed me was when the cables let go right before a competition but the arrow still ended up in the 10 ring as bow parts flying everywhere. I still have this bow it is setup at 73 pound draw weight 29 inch draw length and 368 grain total weight arrows big old aluminum ones chronographed at 296 feet per second. Is it the best bow there is? Probably not but I would bet my life on this bow in my hands.

I purchased a martian moab in 09 new. It was everything it promised and more. I was looking for a new hunting bow that could deliver speed, accuacy and quiteness and this is probly the best hunting bow i have ever bought. It also has a great price 399.00 it is hard to find a good hunting bow for that price. I have 70# draw wt. with the next camo. And also like the thermo grip it does keep your hand warm on those cold mornings better that cold wood or bare metal.

Review by: Gerry Henderson

THIS MATHEWS MONSTER BOW IS A BEAST. iTS A PLEASURE TO SHOOT. I’VE HAD MINE FOR 3 WEEKS AND HAVE ALREADY ALL BUT DONE IN A 2009 TEXAS HUNTING LICENSE….3 SHOTS…3 DEER….1ST ONE WAS AT 46 YARDS, THE SECOND WAS AT 36 YARDS, AND THE THIRD WAS @18 YARDS.

THEY ALL FELL WITHIN EYESIGHT. I HAVE SHOT A BLOCK TARGET OUT TO 70 YARDS AND IT BURRIES THE CARBON EXPRESS 350 GR ARROWS TO THE FLETCHES! IT’S JUST AN INCREDIBLE BOW. DEADLY ACCURATE, MINIMAL NOISE AND VIBRATION. I WONDER WHAT THE ENGINEERS AT MATHEWS BOWS ARE GOING TO DO TO TOP THIS ONE!
