To buy a Reezen or not?

I’ve clicked and double clicked on that button and I get no response to it. Could it be something on my computer?

Could be. What browser are you running?

I have the opportunity to purchase a used Reezen, it is fully loaded with fall away rest and 4 pin fiber optic sight and a matthews Quiver, all for $800. Sounds like a great deal to me considering that is the price for a new Reezen and I am getting $300 worth of attachments. What do you all think?

Buy it! That seems like an excellent deal to me. I just bought a DXT in august for $800 and it also came with everything except a sight (which i already had) and a quiver. Looked into the Reezen also but shot them both side by side and for some reason the DXT grew on me more then the Reezen.

I would say buy It. I for one have Reezen that I absolutely love and enjoy shooting It. I just wish I could
get a nice buck in bow range so I can test her out on a live target.

Love mine, it took a few hundred shots to grow on me as it is different then the 4 previous models, but I’ve grown much fonder of it then the all the Mathews I’ve owned.

If you don’t I will!!! Sounds like a great deal.

Buy it! Wish that deal came around when I was buying mine!

First of all I would shoot it. if you like the way it feels and shoots then yes possibly buy it. Although I love Mathews, I realize it is not everyone’s cup of tea. Make sure you buy the bow for how it performs and feels in your hand, not mine or someone else’s!

To play devil’s advocate…….

As Rob said, shoot the thing at a pro-shop first if at all possible! Have them measure your draw length, and get comfortable on a specific one, then make sure that the one for sale is in the same draw length. Next, check to see if the sight, quiver, and rest are what YOU want. You’ll kick yourself later, and you can afford to be picky right now.

The new Mathews bow is coming out, and there’s a ton of guys out there dumping even new Reezens for ridiculous prices. Some of these are just the plain bow, which would be nice if some of the accessories aren’t exactly what you want.

I’ve only killed one deer with my Reezen, but have shot it enough to know it’s a phenomenal bow for me. $800 is still a big investment, but if you’re going to own it a few years, I’d want it to be exactly what I want. At least for me personally, the only thing worse than limping along older equipment (which I did for far too long), is getting “almost” what you wanted.

If you can’t find what you’re looking for on the used market, to me, an extra $200-400 when already spending $800 isn’t too much extra to be entirely confident and happy with a purchase that should last you quite a few years.

I’d go in and have it professionally measured. If you’re anywhere near the cities, it would be worth the drive to Schaffers. If not, any local bow shop would be able to do it for you. There will be considerations such as anchor point, release, loop/no-loop.

I’m personally a 27.5, but could just as easily shoot a 27. 28 is way too long for me. Funny how that works. I think it’s individual to the shooter.

A quick and dirty method is to stand with arms out normally (don’t reach too hard) and measure the distance from the tip of each hand……then divide by 2.5. Make sure to shorten by 0.5″ if you shoot a loop. That’ll get you close.

Also, you could probably by a new Reezen for a discounted price considering the new bows are out. Mathews warranties are non-transferable, but I wouldn’t plan on having any issues. I know they occur, like with any product, but I think they’ve got a pretty good track record.

And I’m just trying to help you weigh the other side of the issue. If it’s a good bow, setup the way you want it, and it fits you, pull the trigger my man!
