There are only so many ways you can make a compound look. You can make a Tech style riser to look different or spilt limbs which IMHO Hoyts which uses both designs are the butt uglyest bow made. I know there are other ways but these are some of the most popular. All the people with hoyts around here want to say they have the strongest riser and strongest limbs butt I don't give a crap they are butt ugly bottom line and I also fell that way about ANY tech style riser and ANY I mean ANY bow with split limbs.I have had so many people shooting Hoyt, Mathews and other brand bows to step up to the chrono and see if that Bowtech is as fast as they say it is, needless to say when sporting my Pro38 dual cam which is about I think 4years old I just smile and say let's do it and when it over guess who is still smiling. Mathews and Bowtech are one of a few that are still making solid limbs with a typical style riser Parker is another I can think of off the top of my head. No I don't beleive the Mathews bows are not great bows I am sure they are I havn't shot this years models and past years the one I have shot have felt really nice but I beleive Mathews has put themselfs in a bads place talking up there solo cam for years staying at the status quo and Millions of dollars in advertising the almighty solo cam which is a great system IMHO but I beleive it is time to move on and they are stuck. They will in the years to come IF the Hybrid cams and now the Biniary cams keep gaining populatority. But I will say this if Bowtech started making all there limbs split I would NO longer be a Bowtech shooter I would more than likely move over to the dark side and shot a Mathews if I couldn't find a dual cam bow that meets my expections of what a bow should feel, shoot, and look like. To me Mathews and Bowtech have the finest looking bows on the market. I just choose to shot a Bowtech for now who knows what next year will bring.
