I shot a lot of bows including Mathews and Bowtech. To me the Katera XL still shot the best. Everyone looks for something different in a bow. Since Hoyt came out with the Tec riser design I have not found a bow that I shoot better so I am sticking with them. BowTech would be a close second but the Mathews I have never shot very well. I think it has more to do with the grip then anything else.
