First let me state that I' ve been looking at this site for a while now and it is great! I finally took the time to register so I could post on my delimma. I' m looking for a new hunting bow. I' ll be hunting mostly whitetail and although most shots will be <20 yrds a 40 yard shot is not unheard of.
I have a friend that shoots a Mathews FX. He let me shoot it and I was very impressed. I later shot a Legacy at a shop and while I could tell a difference, it was not enough for me to justify the $ difference.
I also have shot a Bowtech ext. vft, tech29 and Mghtymite. They all shot great but, again I can' t justify the cost difference between those three bows and the Mathews FX.
I can get a FX locally for $379 which is a good price from what I have heard. The other bows I mentioned start at $550 and go up. I ws looking through the Bowtech catalog and noticed the Blackhawk. My local dealer didn' t have one in when I was looking. Man, this blackhawk looks great on paper. I was wondering if anyone has actually bought or shot one and compared it to the Mathews FX since they are close in price (less than $60 around here).
As a general rule I noticed Mathews bows seemed to be smoother and had less shock but gave up speed over the bowtech' s. Is that pretty much the way you guy' s see it? I like the FX cause its a reliable, no surprises design thats been tried and tested for years. But the length of the Blackhawk at less than 29" would be really sweet in the tree stand, not to mention the brace height of 8" . I guess this Blackhawk just sounds too good to be true. Is it?

Thank you for your time and I truly appreciate all replys,
