Mathews used to be the best, but they have been passed by quiet a few others now. Their latest line of bows actually rated near the bottom in noise and hand shock. Don't "marry" a manufacturer just because it's what you shoot or have always shot. Be progressive and open minded and you'll find it will serve you well in the long run. The Elite Energy was voted the most "shootable" bow, but lacked a little in speed, and the Bowtech got the highest all around marks.
