Have always shot a matthews, had an FX, bought the drenalin this year for a NM elk hunt, love it. Personally to me, if you look at a matthews and look at anything else its like comparing a corvette to a ferrari. Lifetime warrantry, never had any problems, never met anyone that had a matthews and didnt like it. Get a matthews, I'd reccomend the drenalin, not the dxt or the XL model....plain old drenalin.
