I agree that most of the bigger names in bows make fine products, but with any bow you'd probably be able to find something that another company has advancements in. I shoot a mathews Q2 XL and couldn't be happier with it before that I shot an Alpine camo hunter, Browning afterburner and a Browning backdraft. I just wasn't happy with a few things on each bow, now I have been happily shooting the Q2 XL for four years. I will try out a Bowtech the next time I am in line for a bow along with Mathews and make a decision on what feels best, but if they are too close to call I am sure that I will stick with a Mathews because I have had good results so far.
