Mathews cam is 70% let off (65% measured AMO). The straightline Maxcam on the MQ-1 is a smooth drawing cam.My MQ-1 at 30" draw was a pleasure to draw and felt like a higher let off than 70% . I never liked the 80% straightline cam.....they have a harder draw cycle than the 70%.

I loved my MQ-1 and my new LX is the only bow so far that I' ve liked better. I would buy a used one, even if it was an older model, if it was in good condition. But I' m skeptical about purchasing stuff that I can' t actually take a look at .[>:]

To be honest , if Mathews would have come out with a MQ-1 in Realtree Xtra and with string surpressors I would have had an extremely hard time deciding between it and the LX this year.
