Yes, the Q-2 is a superb bow. Don't forget the SQ-2 if you're just about always going to be in a treestand; the difference isn't much, but it's a couple inches shorter for manueverability.

The FX is a very nice bow at its price point ($400-425 at most places), and you may even find an MQ-32 or an MQ-1 some dealer still has on his shelf he'd be willing to let you steal. I paid $425 for my MQ-1 from just such a dealer back when they were just coming out with the new Q-series bows. I've since shot the Q-series bows, and couldn't tell you a nickel's worth of difference in shooting performance.

Discipline -- not desire -- determines destiny.

yes, an SQ2 shoots like a dream. Like a Q2 just shorter for the stand. Around $600 new. $1000 all set up with arrows.

I have the Q2 and love it. It is one awesome shooting bow. I would get a Legacy, Q2, or SQ2. If your going to hust mainly hunt from a treestand with it I would suggest a SQ2!! Any of them and you cannot go wrong though.

I purchased a Q2 a month ago via ebay. I couldn't be happier with it. I had Mathews send me the price guide and the Q2 retails for $689.00. I did a lot of comparisons and talked to people who shot the mathews bow before my purchase. I had a Reflex before this purchase and I couldn't believe the difference. No buyers remorse for me. There is no exaggeration when they say the Mathews is the smoothest, quitest bow on the market. I had to give $535.00 for a 2002 model which included a mathews rest(another $100.00 retail) . I would say that I saved nearly $300.00 which went a long ways when I went to purchase a new stabilizer, loop, sight, arrows etc.. In other words check out ebay before paying retail.

I am currently shooting an old Browning Vortex but plan to buy a Q2 this spring. I've shot both the FX and the Q2 and they are by far the smoothest bows I have ever seen but I did prefer the Q2.

here's my opinion: save some money. Buy something else!

Best site out there. Side by side comparison on just about every bow you can think of.

Don't pay an extra $150 just so your bow says 'Matthews' on it...

I personally have a Q2 and love it. But I have heard nothing but excellent things on the Legacy. I don't think you can go wrong with a Mathews. Good luck and enjoy.
