Calm down SB; you're the defensive and inciteful one today. I know you were a little defensive when I stated that a Mathews bow had hand shock the other day in my report and you even tried to discount my review. Now the whole archery world is making the same comment about the handshock and I just wonder if you believe them or is it all a conspiracy. Like I stated, they are BOTH great bows. 9 out of 10 reviews say the Vectrix is the clear winner. My only fault, if it is a fault, with my review was thatI stated that I couldn't tell any weight difference between the two; I realized and made the comment later that it had to be because the Mathews was outfitted with accessories and the Vectrix was bare.Talk to you later, MO bound and you all have a great weekend!!!
