I owned Hoyt for the past seven seasons (AlphaTec & UltraTec). They were great shooting bows, but in my opinion, they didn't compare to the smoothness of the Q2. The Hoyt's fit in my hand better - but overall - I really like the Q2 the best. But again, that is my own personal experience. Like previous posts - shoot them and go with the one that feels best to you. Hoyt & Matthews are top of the line bows, so I'm sure you won't go wrong.

Good Luck.
