IL_BOW_MAN, Come on now, tell the truth, Mathews is paying you too to say that you like thier bows the best.
But seriously, of course it is all up to the person that is shooting the bow. I try out every bow that I can each year, simply because the bow company that I' m not shooting this year may come out with something I like next year.
So far on the Mathews line up, I do like the Icon. A nice smooth draw. But the rest of thier lineup (for me) is something left to be desired.
On the other hand, Hoyt, with the exception of the supertec/spiral cam, are the smoothest, easiest shooting bows I' ve shot so far this year. Although I' ve yet to get my hands on Bowtechs Pro40 wheelie and dually.
What I guess I' m trying to say is try not to let other peoples decisions influence you on what is right for you. And don' t read those 6 page ads in the magazines. I think they are sending subliminal messages through them to pull you toward the darkside.[&:]
