One of many reviews , feel free to research your own.
This bow scores a 5/5 on most sites . Mathews is a powerhouse in the archery industry, and for that reason I expect big things year in and year out. The company has played a major role in advancing bow design on many fronts, and for that we all benefit. Smartly recognizing customer enthusiasm for the 2013 Chill, Mathews elected to build on that success to create the new-for-2014 Chill R. This version has many of the same components, features and technologies as the original. However, it is longer and faster. The Chill R features the AVS DYAD cam system, Quad V-Lock limbs, GeoGrid riser, Reverse Assist Roller Guard, Focus Grip and more. Grid, Grip and Guard
Since the 2010 Z7 bow, Mathews has been producing risers that venture into a grid-like design concept. A version of that still exists today in the form of the GeoGrid riser, which is at the heart of the all-new Chill R. The GeoGrid design allows engineers to reduce overall mass weight while increasing strength and rigidity. This equals less carrying weight and greater shooting consistency. The Focus Grip gets its name from what Mathews calls the Focus Ridge. Basically, it is an archer-facing raised rib that runs down the middle of the grip. The intent is to force hand pressure to the center of the grip even when form may be lacking. In addition to the performance, you also get some comfort and insulation from the grip’s rubber material. Mathews’ exclusive Reverse Assist Roller Guard is mounted to the GeoGrid riser nearly midway up the sight window. This system wraps the cables around the archer side of the rollers rather than on the front side like many other systems on the market. As a result, it reduces friction and torque on the cables during the draw cycle. This, of course, makes the bow more forgiving, accurate and smoother to draw. Giddy Up
One of the key differences between the new Chill R and the original is brace height and resultant speed. There are obvious benefits in gaining speed, which include a flatter trajectory (less opportunity for errors in judging distances) and deeper penetration. The Mathews DYAD AVS (Advanced Vectoring System) cam system generates an advertised IBO speed rating reaching up to 342 fps. AVS technology moves the force vector from one side of the axle to the other during the draw cycle, which coupled with the inner and outer cable wheels, increases stored energy and letoff. This system also terminates the ends of each cable to the opposite cam, forcing the system to work in sync and thereby automatically correcting for imbalances. This translates into dependability for bowhunters. The DYAD AVS cam system rides on sealed bearings and stainless steel axles, produces 80 percent letoff and offers draw lengths from 23-30 inches, in half-inch increments, through a series of modules. The War Against Shock
mathews_chillr_chart_2Mathews readies the Chill R for war against shock, vibration and noise by outfitting it with many features and technologies designed specifically for that task. The past-parallel split limbs are key warriors, as they move in opposite directions at the shot to cancel much of the unused energy. Joining the fight are two Monkey Tails and a set of String Grubs, both designed to remove string oscillation. Properly positioned String Grubs may actually increase speed as well. The Dead End String Stop Lite also focuses on reducing string vibration and noise. A Harmonic Damper located at the top end of the riser consists of a weight suspended in an elastomer web and is so effective at reducing vibration that other industries want a piece of it. Mathews advertises a 75-percent reduction in residual vibration from their Harmonic Stabilizer Lite, which is 70 percent lighter . This particular Monster has been upgraded with top of the line products . The list is as follows : Quiver - The world’s first and still the ONLY 100% Carbon Fiber quiver that has redefined what a quiver is supposed to be, weighing in at a mere 7 ounces. 3K Carbon Body Ridge – Carbon Fiber for superior strength
3K Carbon Hood – Destroys harmonics and stops vibration
3K Carbon Support Frame – Stronger and lighter – stopping the effects of vibration
Quad Lock – A four-point lock-down system with vertical adjustment
Vibration Absorbing Coat (VAC) – Rubberized clear coat diminishes vibration and noise
Five arrow hood comes with foam insert with pre-cut broadhead slits
TPR over-mold hood stops unwanted noise
Adjustable, one hand removal system is secure and quiet
Gripper slot secures arrows both large and small diameter

4 1 year old Stabilizer - This season, take your shooting to the Xtreme. The Sport Hunter Xtreme was engineered to help provide superior stabilization while conquering shot-induced vibration, resulting in the ultimate hunting stabilizer. The Sims Internal Harmonic Dampener and De-Resonator combine to effectively minimize vibration transferred from the riser to the stabilizer upon release of the arrow. The individual 1oz end-weights allow users to customize their stabilizer to meet the ideal balance requirements of the particular hunting bow. Together, it equals added confidence to mark your shot of a lifetime.

Bow is lost cameo color -String & Cables Winner’s Choice strings and buss cables are constructed using a method which completely pre-stretches string fibers prior to assembly, insuring that the product will stay at the desired length for the life of the string or cable. Many other manufacturers’ strings start out an average of 1/2” short of the target length knowing the string will stretch to or near its advertised length. Stretching (also referred to as creep) can be a big issue when using a drop away rest where the timing cord is attached to the buss cable. As the string and cables stretch, this alters your rest timing as well as your nock point. Winner’s Choice serving is installed using a patented serving system, which maintains maximum allowable tension on the serving during the entire installation process. The bottom line: Winner’s Choice serving will not slip or separate under normal use, guaranteed. Winner’s Choice coats their strings with a product called X-Coat™ which reduces wear and increases the life of the string by at least FIFTY percent in high abrasion areas. X-Coat™ is designed specifically to resist the abrasion typically found in cable slide and other high abrasion areas. During inclement weather, X-Coat™ also helps prevent moisture from penetrating the critical string fibers. Release - New from the Fletcher Release experts is the Fletch Hook. This loop only release features a roller system for the ultimate in smooth performace. The forward trigger helps gain back lost draw length when using a loop. The hook is specifically designed to release the loop cleanly resulting in a consistant, smooth shot every time. The trigger is infinatley adjustable from heavy to hair trigger and comes with a removeable, knurled sleeve that slides over the trigger pin, offering a different feel for the shooter.
