RE: Defending Mathews....
My opinion means squat but here it is.........sometimes nothing new needs to be done. This coming from a guy who has never owned a Mathews. I'd say the new Bowtechs are great bows, but I'm sure the the Hoyts and Mathews bows are still great shooters as well. I seriously doubt a 2008 bow is going to upgrade your 3D score or take a bigger buck.
I also notice that each year less and less bow manufacturers are giving us the letoff option. Many bows now only come with 80% letoff.....I hate that.
