Be cautious of a Mathews dealer, as they are completely biased, just like a Hoyt or Bowtech dealer would also be. They will all tell you the other companies are junk, but in all honesty, almost all newer bows are absolutely amazing. When I was a kid, a compound had two wheels and no cams. Times have changed and you must also change. Bows seem to advance at about the same pace as computers and cell phones. I just got a Diamond Dead Eye by Bowtech and it blows my old PSE out of the water. The bow felt just right for me, but it could feel terrible for you. You need to go sample everything you can get your hands on before you buy one. If it is any consolation, Bowtechis BY FAR the most patriotic and military friendly company. They gave me a huge discount since I am currently overseas. Hoyt seems to be exceptionally over priced nowadays, and it was between Bowtech, Mathews, Bear and PSE when making my new bow selection. I could not be happier. Got a doe opening day with it in fact! What a way to start my leave! Good luck on your choice and treat it like a bicycle, just get on that sucker and see what fits.
