It takes much more than luck to be the dominant buck…what does it take to get to the top? If you’re Mathews, it’s a history of innovation and an unwavering dedication to making the world’s best bows.
Mathews…A history of innovation! It all started in 1992 when Mathews introduced the first single cam bow. The single cam system is the ultimate in pure simplicity. It has a multitude of advantages (more efficient, more forgiving, more accurate, faster, less recoil, less vibration, less noise, less maintenance, no synchronization problems). But Mathews didn’t stop there… Zebra ® ZS Twist TM bowstring (1994)

Does “EVERYBODY” shoot a Mathews?... If you’re a hunter who wants the best or a 3-D tournament archer who wants to win, you shoot a Mathews.
Mathews wins more than ever before! In a year (2003) when other companies claimed to have superior technology, Mathews wins more than ever before. What does that tell you? Who makes the most accurate, high performance bows in the world? The numbers don’t lie. It’s Mathews!

The StraightLine HP cam is smooth shooting, high let-off and smokin’ fast!
One big reason Mathews wins more tournaments is tight manufacturing tolerances. And one of the most critical areas on a bow is where the limb connects to the riser. Thanks to Mathews’ new V-Lock Limb Cup System, the tolerance is even tighter! The perfectly machined V-shaped “limb pocket” precisely guides the V-shaped limb into place where it locks in for a perfectly snug, zero-tolerance fit. This is the most reliable, most dependable, and most accurate limb system ever devised!

Introducing the Genesis Pro…
Performs like a bow with higher poundage A Genesis™ bow, set at 20 lbs. (it’s adjustable from 10 to 20 lbs.), stores and releases energy comparable to that of a 35 lb. recurve! Plus, with zero let-off, it has the “holding weight” necessary to “pull the string from your finger,” making it easy to shoot.

Mathews is a proud supporter of the National Archery In The Schools Program When Matt McPherson developed the revolutionary Genesis bow, he did so with the intent of re-introducing archery to our nations youth. Through the efforts of many, that is happening, especially in the state of Kentucky where 90,000+ students participated last school year.
What nobody anticipated is the profound effect that archery would have in transforming the lives of students who weren’t the fastest, strongest or most athletic. Students who excelled at archery gained valuable self-confidence. And, while teachers knew archery would give them a
subject to base math, science and physics, lessons on, nobody anticipated the extent to which archery would impact attendance – students don’t want to miss archery day. Give kids a shot in your state. Contact your DNR, Dept. of Education or local school. Tell them about Genesis (nasparchery.com).

Fin or Feather Cam All Mathews bows come with a weight adjustment range of 10 lbs. (down). All have standard burger button, sight, and stabilizer holes. The cable slider on each model is a special nonsqueak Teflon® composite. The limbs are SlimlineTM and come with an original owner lifetime warranty. The machined aluminum limb cups totally contain the limb butts and pivot with the limbs, so no matter what the draw weight, the limbs are always firmly contained within the cup. High inertia limb cups are also available at an additional charge.
