RE: Buying my first bow. Ideas?
Well you didn't mention anything about your budget. The best suggestion I can give it to disregard all the influence you are getting regarding Mathews. Go out and shoot as many bows in your price range and choose the one that feels the best to you.Regardless of your budget you can find many bows to choose from and I am sure that you will be able to find one that stands out!!
If not---- GO HOYT!!!! LOL
