The reasons I still have my 2000 model Cougar Magnum are: its still a great hunting bow, I did not like the riser changes in 2003, never did like the feel of Hoyt bows, hated the looks and draw cycles of Bowtech, and Matthews hype just plain turns me off.

If the 2004 Martins are as sweet as I have heard, one may be in my stable soon and/or perhaps a Bowtech.
