Ross would be my choice because they are great bows. The customer service is top notch and the attention to detail is EXCELLENT. I don't know what to compare them to besides Mathews. The draw is much smoother compared to the Bowtech. I guess you could describe it as a "fast smooth bow". I should be getting mine around the first of May or so. I have no experience with Martin whatsoever but I'm sure you could speak to RickJames about them.I can't begin to describe what a great company Ross is. If you have the opportunity to shoot them both definately do so. Cardiac's are on major backorder though. If you have any other questions feel free to PM me.
