RE: Which of the BIG 3?
I have owned all three. Each one a good bow in their own right. I still have a Hoyt and a Bowtech in my stable along with some other brands. Preference for one over the other can be a very subjective thing.
I reluctantly sold my Mathews because the resale value was to good not too. I wasn't that far from getting what I paid for it and it wasn't even in production any more......
My go to bow right now is an 05 Allegiance.
