The FX was Mathews bottom end bow. There was really nothing special about it. I owned a few years ago. It didnt have the parralell limbs. No harmonic dampers. It was just a simple 34" 7 1/2" brace bow. It was very light and a pleasure to pack around. I had to send mine back. The limbs werent cut out wide enough. The cam started leaning and actually almost started to touch the inside of the limb. The cables were wearing like crazy. However i sent it back through my dealer and mathews put new limbs on it. Didnt take no time either. I was very satisfied with their customer service. I dont think there is a best bow out there. But for hunting i like the 33" and under A to A bows. I think a longer brace is important especially when its cold and you have heavy bulky clothing on. For me the best hunting bow ive came across is the Bowtech justice. i own it right now. However I also think that any bow with a larger brace height and short A-to-A is a perfect hunting bow. Im not brand loyal. Ived owned all of the big 3.(Hoyt,Mathews,bowtech). Theyve all been great bows for me.
