I HAVE OWNED BOTH MATHEWS AND RECENTLY PURCHASED A PEARSON DAGGER.FOR SOMEONE TO SAY THEY ARE NOT THAT GOOD OF BOW IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT SHOT ONE.THE DAGGER I HAVE IS A GREAT--QUIET--FAST BOW.I LOVE THERE THIN GRIPS AND DRAW LENGTH MODULE CAMS.JUST BECAUSE YOU DONT HERE ALL THE HYPE OF THE SO CALLED TOP OF THE LINE BOWS DONT FALL INTO THE TRAP THAT THE OTHER NEW ONES ON THE MARKET ARE OF NO ACCOUNT.I TELL YOU WHAT PEARSON HAS A GREAT RELIABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND A LIFETIME WARRANTY WITH OUT ALL THE HASSLES OF HAVING A BIRTH CERTIFICATE OR REGISTRATION.LOOK I LIKE BOWTECH,MATHEWS AND PEARSON JUST AS WELL.I HAVE HAD THEM ALL.TO ME THE PEARSON HAS A MORE TRUE IBO RATING AND BY SHOOTING IT YOU CAN OBIOUSLY TELL IT IS. SO IT IS A GREAT PERFORMING BOW. GIVE IT A TRY YOU WONT BE DISSAPPOINTED AT ALL
