Why do you care what anybody else shoots? I've owned both Hoyt's and Ben Pearson bows, and to be honest, I liked the Pearsons much better. Quieter, smoother, just as fast, better strings, better grips, and betterlimbs. Just smaller marketing budgets and therefore smaller price tags. I've shot all the new 07 bows, and I just bought an 06 Pearson Stealth, shot 50 times, for 400 bucks. I could buy two of these for one of your Mathews. And it's a better bow.

I agree that people should shoot bows before buying them. But if they want to buy a Parker from Cabelas instead of a Mathews from a pro shop, that's their choice. I wouldn't buy anything from my local Mathews dealer because they are so arrogant about Mathews that you can't stand to be around them.
