    I had a Creed XS on order from Mathews and it finally arrived! Pushing it a little closer to turkey season than I care for but I’ll take it! I was able to shoot the Creed quite a bit and was only able to shoot the XS a few times but was sold.

    I had been shooting a BowTech Experience, which was a phenomenal bow but I am excited to get back to a smooth drawing single cam.

    The XS isn’t going to win any speed awards but the small stature for ground blind and tight spaces in the tree has me excited. I have never owned a bow with an ATA this small. Anybody else have an opinion about the Creed, good or bad?

    I’ll have to admit I geeked out hard the day I picked it up….went back to the studio and had to take a few photos. I’m excited for things to slow down a bit on ice so I can get the new rig honed in!

    Just got a new Creed. I shot the XS and was not overly impressed. I ended up getting a carry over 2013 Creed. Great bow, smoth draw cycle, nice hard backwall. Huge upgrade for me

    Congrats on the new Mathews!
    It is a very personal choice of which brand and model to go with. For each person you talk to you will get a different answer, in the end it comes down to what bow feels right for you. Sounds like you did your homework and picked the one that felt right for you, I got a new Mathews ZXT this year, I love the way this bow shoots and I saved a couple hundred bucks over the creed.

    I have never liked the short ATA bows. Of course I shoot a 30-31″ draw length and the angle on this short ATA bows is far to sharp.

    Yeah, I can see that being a problem…fortunately/unfortunately I’m more of a sparrow to your albatross…27-28″
