Default Which Mathews for Fingers???

I made a big mistake last weekend - I shot a few Mathews bows at the shop. WOW, those are some nice bows. I currently shoot a reflex gamegetter, mainly for hunting, with finger release. But now that the Mathews is in my head, I'll almost sell my children to get it (Man they are a lot of cash!) Maybe even sell my rifle though. Does any one have an opinion about the best Mathews hunting bow for the finger shooter?

You might want to look at getting an Ovation some where.

Has anyone shot an Icon with fingers? I'm thinking either the Icon or the Ovation...

I emailed that question to Mathews last year, the answer was get the conquest and only the conquest. They also recommended there soft cam for finger shooting. If you email them they will tell you exactly how to setup your conquest to get the best out of finger shooting.

Ovation or Icon. Icon more then likely because of the cam design, its not as brutal of a letoff, and its a little spongier on the back so its more comfortable for me to shoot with fingers. Just make sure you get somethin with plenty of axle to axle length(like, over 38 inches)
