I shoot a Mathews Classic,very nice bow. I still like the MQ-1 better than any Mathews I've shot,includeing the Switchback. I've shot a few Bowtecs and do not care for them,they are fast but no faster than a Mathews and not near as smooth. My buddy shoots a Blacknight and I had a Blackmax 2 (which I didn't like) and the Blackmax was faster with 29in draw the Bowtec was 30. I'll stick with Mathews.
