Question...with a name like Hoythunter, is there any question of what bow to buy?

I didn't even know Mathews was still making bows!!
Seriously though, shop around before you buy. I think my shop sells the Q2 and SQ2 for about 500.
In my opinion, after shooting a Legacy, and the others, its one to buy. Yeah, its a little salty compared to others, but its a shooter. Of course after you shoot it and are satisfied, you can then GET SERIOUS and buy a HOYT.
