Being honest, I shoot my choice of bow because all I had previously was an old pearson renegade. I, for years saw all of the advertisements, and alot of the archers on t.v., shooting mathews. So i decided to buy one. I love it! I also have to admit that I have never picked any other bow up for comparison, so I can't say that mathews is superior. But for me, I can't say that I made the wrong decision. I shoot a Q2.
