You could probably get used to either and shoot either equally well. I think that the Mathews is a little quieter and smoother, while the Hoyt will be a touch louder, but for the most part right much faster. I think that Hoyts are better made as well, with more attention to detail and quality built in.

Bowtecs are outstanding bows, and their catalouge brand, Diamond, is a great value. I am thinking about purchasing a High Country bow this year.
