As with anything in life as with bows. One guy can shoot a bow and say "This sucks!!" But the next guy can pick up the same bow, and say "WOW! I gotta have this thing!" Then takes it home and for the first week or two practically sleeps with the thing! Personally I shoot a Parker 31, and have a cybertec on order, used to shoot a MQ-1, but for me the mathews just dont do it, but they do for a ton of other people! Like moonge says the pissing match is getting old! Everyone likes/dislikes diff. equipment and thats that!!
