I' ll have to give another opinion here.

I tried the Matthews and the Patroit Dually and chose neither, but between the two I would choose the Matthews. Two reasons, 80% letoff is available on the the Matthews, and the Pat DC has too short a valley. I don' t see the valley being a positive at all for a hunter, considering some of the awkward angles that you might draw the bow in a hunting situation. I will admit that a better valley and I would have bought the Patroit DC, because it sure was a smooth shooter.

I actually chose the Bowtech VFT, 80% letoff available, about the same specs as the Matthews, and more speed. But the real kicker is price, the VFT was $559 vs. the Matthews $649 at the time. Your price for the Matthews is a bit better than I got, so perhaps you' ll choose the Matthews. Good luck in your decision and I don' t think you can go wrong either way
