RE: So why don't you guys like Mathews?
I like Mathews just fine. I also like Hoyt, Golden Eagle, Bear, High Country, Merlin, Reflex, and Bowtech. I have owned all these brands and they all did a good job of taking game, shooting 3D, or just putting holes in paper. Some I liked better than others for one reason or another. You need to go out and find what you like best and buy it.
