Default RE: Head to Head test of Hoyt, Mathews & BowTech.

This will be debated here and in pro shops everywhere. I own aMathews and am very happy with my purchase.

If I were to choose a Hoyt, I would have chose the V-Tec over the Trykon because I didn't like the way the bow felt when drawn. The place I bought my bow said that they never get Hoyt in for service so if I was strictly buying on manufacters issues, I would have probably bought a Hoyt. I have heard this from multiple bow shops that carry all 3 lines.

I never really felt comfortable with the Bowtech in my hand and the place I bought mine said that they have had some issues with 3 different Bowtechs strings coming off while drawing the bow back which concerned me. I understand that there are lemons out there but 3 in the same pro shop raised a flag to me.

Like everyone hear said and have probably said on multiple other posts that this is strictly a personel choice and no one should make a choice for which bow you should shoot. If you can, go to a pro shop that carries all 3 and don't be afraid to ask about performance, reliability, and customer service from the manufacturer. You can probably figure that they are making the same percentage markup on all 3 so they probably won't steer you wrong as I am sure they don't want to service problems just for the sake of it.
