Swamp makes a very valid point... I shot Mathews for six years; was even a store shooter for them before finding my home with Bowtech.

If you really want that rig to perform, plan on a new set of strings. I know that even some of their Zebra Pro Staff shooters don't shoot those strings; they're that bad. And most people don't think highly of their grips, either -- most people replace with a Tronjo or Torqueless or something. I shot Tronjos on all mine, and switched out the strings the day I got them.

Other than that they make great bows.
