I shot Hoyt for a long time. I now own a Bowtech. I love the bow, it pounds the targets. I swore that I would never leave Hoyt well it happened. Who knows what I will go next. I am not brand oriented but I would start with Bowtech.
I do agree 100% that there are allot of other bow manufactures that are right there with Mathews and has passed them in allot of ways. Obviously Mathews give the tv guys allot of perks to shoot their bow. I personally don't like Mathews but that is only my opinion.
It really comes down to the person behind the bow. If you can't shoot it, it has really nothing to do with the bow. They will shoot where you aim it!
