Considerations & Trade-offs
- The Matrix GRZ2 is a crossbow package, so the included scope, rope cocking aid, quiver, arrows, and field points add value but also mean you’re buying a bundled setup rather than a bare bow.
- At 8 lbs. with an overall length of 33.25", it is compact for a crossbow, but it is still a full hunting platform that will need to be carried and managed in the field.
- The draw effort is listed at 100 lbs., so the included rope cocking aid may be important for comfortable setup and use.
- The package is built around fixed-power optics and included accessories; hunters who already have preferred components may not need everything in the box.
