Best thing to do is shoot them both and decide which of the two you like the best!

I love my Tomkat and Bowtech's are my favorite bows. I've never shot the Hoyt Mt Sport but I'm sure it's a quality bow.

Welcome to the forum.

All of the top manufacturers make quality bows. I suggest you shop around and shoot a few different models and makers before you decide. A bow that fit you will make you a better shooter. Don't buy just on a name brand. You'll pay with accuracy.

Default Good thing I learned my system

of just holding the bow in a shooting position and judging the feel.

Of course, I never bought one of those pro shop bows that cost over $900. Some of us buy unshootable bows, where obtained, at just over the starter bow price/ intermediate range.

If I could hold a non-shooting bow extended for a minute, I found a winner. Which I did.

I stand behind bowtech as an easy bow to use, i have not pulled back all of the hoyt bows but the ones i have pulled back have definately been harder to pull back at the same weight as the bowtech bows that i have pulled back. I had a bowtech allegiance last year then sold it for the destroyer which i shoot now...I am waiting to see what bowtech comes out with this year but if i like it, i might be wanting to sell my destroyer(8 months old) for $600.

Mathews all the way for me, but with those two choices....Bowtech is more heavily favored. Be careful if you purchase a double cam bow.

I am considering a new bow also. Bowtech is my first choice. Why be careful with a double cam bow.
