I don’t dislike Mathews but my Mathews dealer is a hunter only and my Hoyt dealer is a Competition shooter for ASA and IBO and has years of experience. I know that if I buy from him that I will be taken care of and that he will cut me some slack on accessories because I got the bow there. For me its way more a dealer factor than a company factor. Another thing that make me buy Hoyt is the fact that they don’t screw around, they release there 2003’s first. I buy I new bow every year, I don’t need to but I like to. And as long a BowTech and Mathews waits until after January to release there new stuff they will keep missing my 600.00. mmm I bet I am not the only one!
