I shot about 30 bows before I chose this one. I went into my archery shop, picked up the Trykon (thinking I have alreadymade up my mind which one I am going to purchase)and started walking towards the counter. Something came over me and I turned and headed to the range for a few last minute practice shots to solidify my choice of bows. The next thing I know, I am standing at the register with a Mathews!
