What is your age, draw weight, and experience???

The Reezen is nice, smooth, quiet and fast.

The Monster is loud, aggressive cams, has vibration, but is extremely fast.

I'm not a big Mathews fan although I do believe they make nice bows. I have shot the Reezen and the Monster a lot actually. A friend of mine has a reezen and the guy at my local pro shop was trying to sell me the Monster so he set one up for me and I shot it probably 150 times. In my opinion the Monster is heavy, it doesn't have a nice smooth pull and it isn't as forgiving as the Reezen, it also doesn't have a good stop at full draw. It seems to me there is some give at full draw. The Reezen has a nice smooth pull and good backstop at full draw and it's very forgiving. If I were in the market for a new bow I would definitely consider the Reezen. Another option would be the DXT. That's basically a little slower model of the Reezen.

Sounds to me like you already have 2 great bows.If it aint broke dont fix it.Just my opinion though.Thats alot of money to spend on something that is not going to be drasticaly diffrent than what you already have.I could understand if you were shooting a 20 year old bow but thats not the case.But as i think back to how i was at 15 i guess maybe i can understand.I Always had to have the next best thing back then.Boy do times change.Any way Its your money and if thats how you want to spend it have at it.I can think of much worse to blow your money on.

Something isnt clicking. You have a 30" draw length and those bows should handle that and a little longer, but you have out grown them? Have you checked into new modules for them? You should be able to get some.

As for the Monster, any bow that is shooting that fast is going to be loud and have vibration when set at the max setting. That is the nature of the beast. I have shot the X-Force at 60lb, pretty quiet and fast with little vibration. My buddy shot it maxed out and it was loud, had vibration and extremely fast.

Either of those bows can be changed to a 30" draw. Go to a Mathews shop or dealer and they can set you up.
