RE: Looking for a new bow... Mathews? Hoyt?
If you're hunting, you need to try the Bowtechs, Hoyt is more of a target bow company, and as hard as it is for me to say this, Mathews makes a nice hunting rig. Still, as far as I am concerned, Bowtech cannot be beat. Depending upon what is important to you, they have a bow that will be perfect. For example, I wanted to have the fastest, most bad ass bow, and still be able to shoot a 300 in the range, so I bought an 82nd Airborne. There is enough kinetic energy in that bow to get a full pass through on an elephant and the one standing behind it (never been tested). Try 'em all and you'll know which one is right for you. I just wanted to make sure that you hadn't ruled out Bowtech.
