I’ve had my drenalin for 3years now.I’m from South-Africa and I hunt regularly. My bow has been set up once since new with all the right bells & whistles. I’ve never since had to do anything on it, not even touched the site. Its been through rain, shine, cold, hot, you name it. Never had I had any trouble. It’s the most forgiving companion I ever had. All big brand bows are good in their own way. Just look after it, treat it, clean it, and I guarantee it will look after you. If it aint broke, dont fix it(or tune it to the max). things always go wrong when you try to get more out of a product than what its designed for.

got a hold of Mathews tec.and he said he would call me back after he talked to dealer where my bow is (never called me) dealer said after new limbs are on he will send it back to mathews to find creak in bow (a week or so to return ? )i stated what then ?. i just keep using it and hoping in doesn’t break when iam on my 3 week hunting trip. i was at dealer today and now owner and hired hand started to apotheosis that maybe i am over drawing the bow and causing the limbs to break ! L.O.L. I’ve been bow hunting since 1984 this drenalin is my seventh bow

i have a drenalin for just over four years and it is in the shop because of another broken limb
I’ve had it in for creaks four or five times ? iam starting to lose track . I’ve looked for a phone # on line to talk to the factory rep. about possible lemon law ,but can’t find # . dealer said when he gets the new limbs on and finds out why the creaks he will give me $550 credit for new bow if i buy new rest and quiver from him .
i think factory should do better than that. i am tired of being Browning and Mathews guinea pig for bad designed bows

I have owned my Drenalin for 3 hunting seasons and no problems have occurred. It is my first bow and I have taken 2 bucks with it. I would recommend this bow to a friend.

I purchased my Drenalin in 2008. I went to get the DXT but the pro shop did not have one left handed in stock.I shoot a lot! I fletch my own arrows, tune my bows, change my own strings, etc. I work on all my buddies bows, and arrows also. This bow is great. I have had no problems what so ever. I have two buddies with Dreny’s and they too have no issues. Broken limbs happen! People bang their bows while hunting, etc. It is very difficult to imagine what caused the problem but any good bow maker should cover these issues without question just to keep us coming back. If Mathews ever turned me down for a repair, even though I am not an authorized dealer doing my own work, I would cost them money! I would tell my sixty plus friends, and they would tell theirs! You need to talk to the top guy you can reach at their company, period!!!

ive owened my drenalin for quite some time now and i must say that this is the best bow ive ever put my hands on. i hunt everyday i can and i do not rifle hunt very often so 90+ percent of what i kill is with a bow. im sorry to hear about you guys that have limb problems i have no problem to speak of with my bow i shoot a 7 pin spot hog sight and shoot comfortable at 70 yards. this is the first mathews ive owned i shot parker before and to go from a parker to this is amazing. i will buy another mathews when the time comes. i also want to add that i live in southwest louisiana and the weather here sucks so the bow had been put through its paces going from the marsh to the piney woods. good hunting everyone stay safe

I am very disappointed with my 2008 Drenalin. I was at full and the lower limb made a loud noise and splinter from the lower cam to about half way down the limb. I am now in the process of trying to find out if Mathews will fix the limb. This sucks, so much money spent on this bow to have these type of problems.

Bought the DXT a month ago. Probably had about 500 arrows it. Noticed today that the top limb at the limp turret had a splinter. Pretty disappointed for a $800 plus bow to last only a month. Will try to get the limp replaced from Mathews and I hope the problem is isolated.
