I am hearing the new Ovation is a real sweet bow. Havn't shot it myself though. Otherwise the Conquest models are very good.

If you are not dead set on one of the newer models and can find a shop with one of these, they are good shooters.

Q2XL

Q2XL is a great bow, but i dont think they make it anymore, so youd have to find one somewhere. I really like them though. Conquest is a good bow also, but its pretty long. 41 AtoA.

I have shot Mathews for 6-7 years .........and if I wanted the best Mathews (hunting) bow ever made over 36"...........

I would have to look real hard for a used MQ-1 !!

I have enjoyed every other Mathews I've owned ........but besides the HP cam...........they have not really improved anything since the MQ-1 !! Well.........maybe the camo !!

I'd have to resoundingly second CBM... and you can get 'em on some of the boards in the classifieds for around $225-$250 if you look around. That's a pretty good deal for what most people think is the best bow Mathews ever made...

I'll second that ICON choice. Especially if you shoot fingers! It is the best fingers bow I've shot.
