RE: Looking for a new bow... Mathews? Hoyt?
These are all good bows and you will have to see which one feels the best in your hands. In my hands, the Katera is pretty sweet. But I could shoot either Mathews and probably be perfectly happy. One advantage of the Mathews bows is that the solo cam is a littlesimpler to tune, and tends to still shoot fairly well even when it gets a little out of tune. So if you aren't much into this stuff and/or your local pro shop isn't Crackers, then the Mathews may be a better choice. But I still shoot a little better with a perfectly tuned Hoyt.
