RE: So why don't you guys like Mathews?
I must admit that the advertising is what originally turned me off. Avoided Mathews for several years, but remained curious. This spring, I caved and tried 2, Q2XL and MQ1. Not bad bows, and the MQ was absolutely perfect for a used bow. I had a little trouble tuning it until a member of this forum sent me instructions on working down the grip. Then it tuned great. It shot better, but still had left-right issues, and needed a lot of stabilizer weight out front to cure that, then the bow quiver caused the left-right stuff to come back. All the while I had a bow that was just as fast, nearly as quiet, and shot great whether I had a stabilizer, bow quiver, etc. on it . It just shot the same no matter what. I was curious enough to try, and found Mathews bows lacking in the "magic" that seems to be attributed to them. They were not the bows for me, but they might be just the ticket for someone else.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
Avoid the inevitable until it is absolutely unavoidable!
