RE: Which bow, Mathews/Hoyt/Bowtec?
I' m with Pinwheel...none of those are the best choices as a double duty hunting/3D bow.
In the Bowtech line l' d look at the PRO 38 SC or the P40 DC for a decent compromise.
In the Mathews line I' d look at the Icon and Q2XL
And for Hoyt the UltraTec XT2000.
Pro38 SC will probably be the best compromise as it still skips an arrow out ther e right quick, has a good brace (7 3/8" ) but is a touch shorter (despite it' s model designation) than the Ultra and Mathews offerings.
Shoot ' em all, make your choice.
