If you don't like the grip on a Mathews all you have to do is pry it off, I did and it shoots much better right off the riser. If you don't like that buy an aftermarket grip.

I don't understand this speed thing. To diss a Mathews because it shoots 20 fps slower than your bow is like you telling me that I'ma retard for shooting an old cartridge like my 7mm Rem Mag when I could be shooting a new and fasterone like a 300 Rem Ultra Mag. I'm quite sure that either one (bow or gun), put in the hands of someone who practices and shoots well, is just as capable as a "slower" weapon at killing deer dead. What's the trajectory difference in a Mathews and a Bowtech at 30 yards anyways? 1 inch... ??? Is that significant? Not to me in the very least. That's what practice and a range-finder are for.
