I know this wasn' t the original question but everyone seemed to answer on the asthetics of the design. I think that parallel limb bows like the Bowtechs and Mathews are very sweet looking bows and I may be adding one of them to my collection soon.[:-] I have friends in both camps and they shoot them like they are going out of style with no signs of weakening at any points. Low recoil, speed and accuracy. What more can you ask for?
