2017 Mathews Halon 32

The Halon 32 was introduced by Mathews in 2017 following the Halon in 2016, 2" longer than the Halon makes the bow a bit more forgiving.

The Halon 32 comes in 5,6 and 7" brace height. 5" and 6" brace height are the most common.

IBO rating of 350fps - draw length 24.5-30.5" by changing modules.

RRP $1400 Australian

We talk about the Halon 32. We shoot the Halon 32 through a chronograph then shoot the bow at 18 metres.

I have to say tht Steven Hann has bout the best site on the web ....on bow evaluations, description and honesty . He doesn't give in to bullshit says it like it is .... ty for tht Steven

I still use this as my hunting rig. And I wish I listened to this years ago, I now do shoot this without a stabilizer like you suggested. It’s balanced so well without one. I’m so comfortable having shot this bow so long, I don’t think I’ll ever want a newer one. We will see though.😉

I personally really like the weight of the bow. Another reason why it is extremely stable to shoot. I have no problem packing it around for hours on the 3d course, nor for days in the mountains.

Love this bow. Shooting it at 63lbs, 31" draw.

Definitely the best bow Mathews produced! No doubt in my mind and I could care less what Mathews thinks about me lol. Great review. I would like to see it vs the Evolve 31 and vs the moment

From one of your viewers in the US, we have regions of the country, particularly in the Rocky mountain states (Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho) where spot and stalk are the main hunting techniques. I hunt with a 2015 PSE Decree that has 6 ounce Bee Stinger stabilizer and total bow weight of over 6lbs when hunting with quiver and arrows. While some do look for light weight bows, some of us prefer the extra weight.

Very good and honest review, thanx. I'm setup with a 80# MR7 Full rig, just under 11lbs. getting a 32 this week. I love the weight. On a 3D we shoot 20m arrows for the whole day, walk about 8kms and the weight was never a problem.

Do you even hunt Steven? I have this bow and don't even notice the weight. I shoot a heavier bow a lot better than a light bow. Accuracy is everything to me.

I shoot the Mathew lx from 2004 . After 21 years of shooting it with absolutely no issues at all, its a hard bow to top . Light weight, super smooth cams and plenty fast . I use the Lx for both 3D matches and hunting . Every time Mathews came out with a new bow I would go to the local dealer and shoot them . I was looking to see if the newer models would shoot better than my LX . Year after year I did this . Nothing about the newer bows felt as good as my LX . Even the Mathews bow that cost over 1, 000 didn't feel right to me . The newer bows were faster but not as smooth . I guess you can't have both . The smoothness of how the arrow leaves the bow is more important to me vs its speed . If you can't hit what your aiming at speed means nothing . The best bow made is the one you enjoy shooting the most .

Spot on review Steve.
Have mine sighted out to 80m now. Really enjoy shooting it.

I can honestly say the halon 32 6 is the best bow i have ever shot. The pro shop up the road had a left over for a sweet deal he put it on hold for me and i pick it up next week. I love the weight of the bow it honestly dont bother me. It holds and aims very well. It is my first mathews cant wait to pick it up.

Great review i really like the weight of this bow. The weight makes it easy to aim, gives it less hand shock. I haven’t owned a Mathews since the mq32 for the last 15 yrs I’ve shot bowtech and pse. IMO this is the best bow I have ever shot. I just spent 2 hours shooting the Hoyt red wrk, realmx, triax and halon 32. I put the triax away after 2 shots I’m 6’3 with 30” draw it felt to short. Realmx was really a nice bow but I liked the red wrks and halon 32 a little better. After an hour of shooting red wrks vs halon 32 I choose the halon 32 because of how smooth the draw cycle was.

[jarodstevens]

if Mathews doesn't like a honest review they can piss off !!! LOL 😉 Beautiful bow, great review !! you're the best brother!! can't wait to see next installment of your carbon air series 👍👍

[drested]

Great honest opinions in your reviews and lots of info.

[GopherHayes]

This bows draw cycle is so smooth. I almost went with an 80lb bow

[hiz]

How easily does it let down? When I shot it, it came off very easily, but I don't think it was set up. Correctly

[dougking]

it's a nice bow and I was almost sure I was gonna get one. I ended up with a Bowtech Reign

[richvalentine]

You seem to be stuck on the weight, do you remember older bows? But to each his own. Other than that it was a great review as always. As far as speed goes, not a fan of a Hunting bow shooting much over 280 fps anyway, but again a personal choice. I feel in love with this bow the first time shooting it, and I have been a loyal Hoyt shooter for 20 years.

[toadamine]

I just traded a pse carbon air 34 ecs for a mathews halon x comp... sent off the bare carbon air thinking "wow this thing is super light", got the bare mathews and thought, wow, this seems so much lighter than the advertised weight suggests and what I expected... 🤷‍♂️😄

[BrettsAustralia]

Was that a PSE singlet under the Mathews jumper? Joke☺ no BS and honest reviews are always the best. Thanks once again mate Cheers
