Yes, unfortunately I will stay away from an entire bow line like Mathews because of the grip style. I prefer the way a Diamond/Bowtech, Hoyt, Ross or Elite grip feels. That is just me and not everybody, but if it is not comfortable in my hand I won't overlook it just so i can shoot the brand. I really don't care what the bow is called, as long as it is comfortable, reliable, provides good performance and is a good hunter.

It is not that I think Mathews doesn't make a quality product, they just don't fit me. There are quite a few people that don't shoot Mathews due to the grip. I have even tried after market grips on the Mathews bows as well and they were not good enough for me.
