I shot the Vectrix and the drenalin this week and first off the Hoyt has so much vibration stuff on it from the factory that it's hard to compare the shooting part. Both to me have very little shock or vibration from the release of a 350 grain arrow. Handling wise the Mathews is so much lighter that it is incredible. The lighter feel to me is something to consider at the end of the day. They both pull very smooth back into the wall and both balance very nicely in your hand. The bow shop I went to the folksthere are ordering the Drenalin for themselves and not the Vectrix.
