How many times can a Matthews be dry fired, their site doesn't say?
Especially a Mathews... because they are built so poorly that I'm suprised they stay together in the first place.
Sure they are smooth, and they are quiet.... but the way they are built does not warrant a $700+ price tag in my opinion (the local shop sells them for $830 bare bow).
Hoyts are built much better... but they are heavy by todays standards... some folks like a heavier bow.
By and large... whatever you tell yourself you'll be happier with... you probably will be. Both of them will get the job done just fine. I owned a Hoyt Ultra-tec up until last year and sold it to my best friend for a good price complete... and my current back up bow is a Mathews LX... which I bought new for $200 cash (thats a good deal).
