I've always thought Mathews makes a most excellent bow. It's just the hardcore Mathews clan is so touchy it makes it so much fun to pick at 'em...
This is very true.
Only thing I don't like about Mathews is their grips and that they use those Zebra strings that stretch so bad. You'd think they would give you a WC or VT string when you drop that kinda loot.
Mathews came out with the competition grip a few years ago which a lot of people like. Personally, I still think they are two big and induce torque, but I prefer a low wrist grip.
The new Baracuda strings are much better than the old Zebra twist strings. No more stretch than WC or VT. They're all 452.
As RJ said, all the mid level and up bows are good. Once you reach that level the bow will always outshoot the guy holding it so it comes down to personal preference.
