i HAVE SHOT BOTH THE BOWS AND iF YOU WANT SPEED AND FORGIVENESS GET THE HOYT. IF YOU WANT SLOW AND FORGIVENESS GET THE MATHEWS. BOTH BOWS WERE VERY SMOOTH. iF YOU WANT A BOW THAT IS SMOOTH FAST AND VERY FORGIVEING GET THE PARKER PHONEIX 36
We didn't chrono the Hoyt and Mathews when we tested them, but the Mathews sure seemed to zip them out every bit as fast as the Hoyt, IMO. The big difference I noticed was that the draw cycle on the Mathews was
significantly smoother.
