HOYT? NEVER AGAIN!!

RE: HOYT? NEVER AGAIN!!
That sucks... Must be a "lemon". Hoyt has always had a great product and I am sure they would have beant over backwards to fix it for you... but I understand what you are saying... I probably would have smashed it!
I must say, to disappoint you all, I switched from a Hoyt to a Mathews this year....
Never been happier!

You guys got to be kidding. Thats allI hear about on this forum, my new hoyt or bowtech sucks. Cams are leaning. Cracked limbs. "And Im not the only one, my buddies hoyt sucks too"
I know ya hate to hear it, but ya don't hear this about Mathews very often. When ya can't beat them.....Join them. Bowtech and Hoyt markets the crap out of their stuff. Mathews just lets the quality market it's seft. Quit waisting your time and buy a Mathews.

And far as advertising goes... take a look at any bowhunting mag and see who has bought more pages, then tell us who spends more on advertising.

I've recently owned an AR, Hoyt, & now the Mathews. They were all great bows. I had and issue w/ the AR limb cracking, but they went out of their way to fix it. The Hoyt just wasn't "fitting" me right anymore. I shot them all (Bowtec, Browning, Hoyt Trykon, and the Switchback XT). The Switchback was the most comfortable. Period. I don't care what make and model somebody shoots. They are all fine bows. It's a matter of personal preference. I personally don't give a darn about how much advertising one does over the other. Shoot the bow you like... Now what you "should" like. Who really cares?
Just my opinion...

First off, when a hoyt or bowtech shooter comes on here and complains about his bow it's becausehis ego and brand loyaltyare not more important than his current bow choice. They want the best bow for themselves regardless of the brand.Most Mathews shooters would be too ashamed to say they got a lemon or had a problem with their beloved mathews. They wouldnt want to tarnish the name.
And far as advertising goes... take a look at any bowhunting mag and see who has bought more pages, then tell us who spends more on advertising.

(Sarcasm)Why so bitter towards Mathews, and Mathews shooters? Is it because you've tried to catch us?......Catch us if you can! (Sarcasm)

RE: HOYT? NEVER AGAIN!!
i must agree; i think that mathews is a good bow, but it is not the best bow which their marketing scheme of advertising 5 times as much as everyone else leads one to believe... there are plenty of good bows on the market and mathews is one of them along w/ PSE, Hoyt, bowtech, browning and many more of which all probably spend more money on design rather than marketing. secondly, i hear just as many problems w/ mathews as any other manufacture and mathews doesn't even make a speed bow! they make an old mans bow which is easy to tune & shoot and if that's what you want then buy a mathews, but if you want your balls to hang a little further to the ground buy something else!!

I shot Mathews for years!!!!! A few years ago I broke a limb on a mathews and it took me 4 months for them to get a limb to me. Thats just poor!!!!! If it wasnt for the better business bureau I probably be still waiting. Now I am Hoyt man!! Your Hoyt seems to be one of those lemons that slipped through. All bow companies have some slip through. In todays bow market its all personal choice. Almost everyone makes a good bow today.

RE: HOYT? NEVER AGAIN!!
I miss stated my point on marketing. I just meant that the there best marketing comes from the people that shoot their bows. I seriously see a hoyt and bowteck problem on this sight everday. Cams leaning, problems with limbs, there is a new one that just came on the tech section. Hoyt guy "mycams are leaning" "my sons new hoyt exploded". EVERY DAY!I saw a hoyt guy on here the other day start a thread, "I hate to admit it but I switched over to Mathews" I don't think we'll see that guy on here camplaing about things anymore.
Waltwittman you can keep falling for the"Speed Bow" gimmicks. I stick with my quality made mathews. They sure do make those Hoyts look cool with there split limbs, though. Ooooohhh my limbs are split and I have a spead bow, but my cams are leaning.....oh well.
I'll stick with my cadillac of bows.......youwalt stick with your souped upcivic. Ooooh butthere soooooo fast.
I wonder why Matthews has the best selling bow every year......mmmmmm.
