I bought a hoyt last year after shooting the same bow for 13 years(I'm very loyal). Today I bought a Matthews, held it in my hands and drew it back a couple hundred times, it just felt right. Since it's an MQ1 (no longer in production) the store gave it to me at a nice discount, but it still has a lifetime guarantee. I checked out all the hoyts before I chose the Magnatech, solely because of the price-my mistake. I personally think the Ultra and Razor techs are quality bows, but just rethink your final decision a few more times than you think neccesary, and if you think what you want is too expensive, then consider paying a nice chunk of cash on something you won't be happy with, and lastly, there's depreciation to think about as I've found out; you may take a beatin if you try to sell the bow you aren't happy with. I hope this doesn't make you all think that I'm in marketing at Matthews Archery, because I'm not; this is just another opinion. But damn- I do like my Mathews!
