Tight spot quiver on a mathews halon 3211/16/2023 ![]() ![]() The Crosscentric cam system is huge, and the limbs are wider than traditional limbs, which combined together create a need to have a more substantial riser. The overall 4.73-pounds weight of the bow is mostly associated to the dual bridged riser design. RiserThe Halon 32 carries over a lot of the same technologies associated with the 2016 Halon. Hopefully, the newly added Sitka and Under Armour finishes will continue to be options in the future for Mathews. For 2017 shooters have a lot of great choices, and each of them look outstanding. It was obviously not a great seller for them since it was eliminated from the lineup, but that pattern did add a bit of flair to the bow many shooters all enjoyed. It is a shame Mathews no longer offers the tactical pattern. The Ridge Barren pattern from Under Armour is the last great looking addition to the lineup. For Sitka, shooters can choose between Optifade Elevated II, Optifade Open Country, and Optifade Sub Alpine. Where many people are going to get excited, Mathews has partnered with Sitka and Under Armour to offer their hunting designs as well. Other offerings from the 2016 choices will be all black, and Stone. This camo choice is a Mathews' upgrade to the original Lost Camo, and has a bit more definition when compared side by side with each other. Mathews will continue to offer their own camo as an option in 2017 with the Lost XD pattern. The Halon 32 is no exception, and some may even argue the new finish choices make it the best-looking Mathews bows period. ![]() Ten or so years ago, archers shooting their rigs all the time would start to notice the front of the grip area wearing thin finish wise, but the look and durability for the most part has always been outstanding. FinishThe Mathews finish has always looked great. Ultimately, the Halon 32 offers a more favorable axel-to-axel measurement for most shooters, but with limited upgrades in technology, it may not be enough for those already owning a 2016 Halon to make the jump into a new bow. However, the $1099 MSPR tag may put the Halon 32 6-inch brace height out of the question for some archers. ![]() The price is to be expected for the flagship hunting model of an industry giant like Mathews. However, hunters out West needing to backpack all over creation looking for animals may really notice the added mass to the Halon 32. For most shooters, the added weight is going to help minimize pin float and increase accuracy. This weight is about a pound heavier than the magical 4-pound mark many prefer, before adding accessories, which could add up a great deal as well. The added length adds a bit of weight as well with the Halon 32 weighing in at 4.73-pounds. This 32-inches really seems to be a sweet spot where stable and compact meet up. ![]() The Halon 32 is a stretched out version of the 2016 Halon model, and most shooters are going to appreciate the added 2-inches of axel to axel stability, and the string to face angle from the longer measurement. A 6-inch brace height is generally as short as many shooters want to go, while still allowing for some good forgiveness characteristics and IBO rated speeds up to 343 feet per second. The Halon 32 6-inch model is going to be a very popular model for many hunters. Each of these varies a bit in performance based on the brace height although the technology and engineering behind the bow is the same. Those who don't shoot their hunting bows through chronographs on a regular basis might be surprised by that number, since it's so much lower than advertised IBO speeds.The Mathews Halon 32 features three different brace height models, with a 5, 6, and 7-inch option. With a 6-inch brace height, 29-inch draw length, 60-pound draw weight and 420-grain hunting arrow, my HALON 32 clocked in at 275 fps on my Easton Pro Chronograph, which translates to 70.55 foot-pounds of kinetic energy. Again, this sounds complicated, but it just means that the rounded portions of the cams mimic enough of the original NO CAM design to create a very smooth feel while still generating excellent speed. Although this sounds complicated, it really just means that the wheels rotate at varying distances from the axles during the draw cycle in such a way as to maximize stored energy and system efficiency.įinally, the draw cycle on the HALON 32 employs a partially concentric payout. The CROSSCENTRIC system eliminates that torque by splitting the load on the cables evenly on the left and right sides of the top and bottom cams.Īnother significant benefit of the yoke wheels in the CROSSCENTRIC system is that they employ advanced vectoring. This not only makes it difficult to maintain proper aim on target but also erodes accuracy because the cams introduce sideways oscillation to string. ![]()
