Gentlemen, I have 2 High Country bows, an Extreme and Knight Force. I'm not saying they're the best (or the worst) but I just can't afford a Mathews at this time. My HCA bows have served me well over the past 15 or so years. Never a failure, are very accurate. My Knight Force does have a 'kick' to it and I have actually vibrated a sight to the point where the arm snapped in two pieces. My current HTM sight is rugged and is holding up very well. So unless I win the lottery or come up with a spare $800 - I'll stick with my HC's.
