What did you expect a BowTech dealer to tell you, buy a Mathews? BowTech's are good bows, but why take someone's word for it - shoot them all, then decide on the one that best fits YOU.
did ya just skip the "and the background research" line? Also, I guess I should have clarified more, with the guy I met (and now work for) it was more a person/shop commitment as it was a brand commitment.
By the way, BT fans as you put it, are just as "abrassive" asany other--especially in this forum!
Maybe so, but first impressions last a lifetime and when I first started shooting I got more "shoot and see what you like" from BT fans and more "get a mathews" from the mathews boys. Oh well though, its all just personal preference
I was just having some fun with ya. I agree that most Mathews shooters believeits the bestbow on the planet, and why shouldn't they?But as I said, Bt shooters feel the same way, and they have every right to as well. Its all relative to preference; however, someare not objective in their opinions, because they're benefiting in some way by saying one or the other is the best.
I shoot Mathews, butI'm planning to shoot all Mathews, Hoyt, and Bowtech 2009 models, and the one that fits the best, is the one I'll be shooting next year. I think if you don't try'em all out, then you're sort of cheating yourself, and even youeluded to that fact when you said not shooting a Mathews prior to purchasing the BT may have been a mistake.
Personally, I haven't shot a BT yet, but I did handle a Guardian that a guy was shooting at the range, and although, it felt a little heavy for my taste, it was definitely one of the quietest bows I've ever heard!
