M.T. yes the mathews are good but as I found out there are other bows out there. I was a hard core mathews man for a long time and switched to a hoyt this year. Both are awesome bows. As far as price There is not much difference.

Xarmy55, IMO the mathews are not really that over rated but I also think that alot of bowshooters out there are guilty of buying a bow because one of their buddies or mentors is shooting that brand of bow and doing well with it.

I am keeping both my lx and my protec. The hoyt will be used for target and the lx will be used for hunting. Both brands have my vote.
