The ability of the bow to shoot 60X indoors at a regular pace by an accomplished indoor shooter.

280+ speed. Most pros are around 280.

A bow you don't have to tinker with all summer. I usually shoot my bow in, tune it one time, and shoot for the season.

Dependable. Most bows now days have that covered.

I've owned about 10 different Mathews over the last 8 years. I've shot 60X indoors with 5 of them, and I couldn't with the rest. The bows I've shot well in tournaments with were all 60X bows.

I know I might catch flack with this, but if some of the top pros are shooting amazing rounds with the bow, it's a good bow. No, those top pros whouldn't have necessarily shot the same with another bow, even in the same line.

A good shooter will shoot good scores, with any good bow, whatever brand.

A bow that "feels" good is over rated. If it's a proven winner, it's a good bow. Now granted, I've shot a Mathews for 8 years, but all of my bow purchases were purchased, except for the first one, because of the great tournament results being shot by the winners, not becuase they felt good-I never even fired an arrow with them before I ordered them. All of the combinations I ordered-arrow, whatever, were already proven winners, so I went from there. I would need to play with the bow for 2 to 3 weeks first to test on my own and I've never had the time. I guess I'm a coppy-cat.
