RE: new bow- matthews?
I think most bows in that upper price range are worth the money. The only thing is that if you are going to spend that much on a bow then be real sure that it's the right one. I would shoot the big four before I made any choices. Mathews, Bowtech, PSE and Hoyt. Personally, I will always shoot a bowtech because in my opinion they are the best bows on the market. If you ask someone else they will say that Mathews is the best bow on the market and neither one of us would be wrong. That is why it is an opinion. We can only tell you what WE like. You have to try all of them to see what YOU like. But no matter which one you choose in the end you'll still be getting one hell of a bow. Good Luck.
