Default RE: So why don't you guys like Mathews?

Several things I don't like. Price being #1. Of course many comapnies are way overpriced. Lack of adjustablity is another. Should you buy one make sure you get the right draw for yourself. DO NOT rely on what the sticker says on the limb. Most draw about an inch longer than they are marked. Mathews has this thing about not having much adjustment for draw built into their cams, such as the use of drawlength modules. If you screw up and want to change your draw later, by as much as 1/2" or more you have to buy a new cam and rigging. This seems a little short sighted for a company that is one of the leaders in the industry. Or maybe it's a way of reaping (raping) extra profits.
A few people I know have changed from Mathews to Hoyt, gaining speed ans accuracy. And they don't care what things cost. They just get what they want.
