When it comes down to it, your opinion is what matters. Shoot everything that interests you and buy what feels the best.
Good luck in your search.
I agree with you completely. My friends dad has a Matthews. I was watching him shoot, it was as loud as my bear charge...He ask me what i shoot now and i told him. He didn't really have a response. I was watching him struggle to hit an apple at 15 yards...I picked up my bear and shot it from 30 yards. He was surprised to say the least.
its all about what feels best to you and what you want to shoot! i've been loyal to bear archery my whole life, and i will until they disappoint me.
