zim you're not alone in not liking Matthews bows. I've tried them and also do not like the way they feel. I went to a shop this past February because I had an itch for a new bow. They had Matthews, Hoyt, Elite, Bowtech and PSE. After shooting all their top line bows, I settled on the PSE Dream Season DNA. Speed wise this bow blew the others out of the water. And it felt good in may hands and the draw cycle is very nice. My second choice would have been the Hoyt Spyder. This was also a nice bow and was just a bit lighter than the DNA.
As for getting fitted, any shop worth its salt can fit you up.
