RE: So why don't you guys like Mathews?
Mathews makes a pretty good bow! With that said, I think that there are other manufacturers that have "more to offer" for the same or fewer dollars invested. Right now I shoot mostly Dartons, an under rated bow line IMHO. For example: Darton offers with its CPS system a true level nock draw, timing marks, accurate drawlengths, drawlength changes can be accomplished by changing or adjusting a module(no cam purchase necessary)and their bows meet advertised speed numbers. Other bows that I think that have a lot to offer are Martin, Hoyt, Merlin, and number of others not so highly advertised. What is Mathews going to do when the "one cam" rage finally passes through its life cycle, theres already better engineering? Fact, if most of the better shooters were sponsered by any given company, that companies bows would win too!!! Shoot what feels comfortable to you and your budget. Forget the hype!
Aim Hard!
