matthews or hoyt?

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

For what..something to shootat ??

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

Get out and shoot them both...

Do you prefer single cam or dual/hybrid cam bows? That might helpyou decide between the two.You can't go wrong with either though.

Good Luck.

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

Both are great. So is Bowtech. I personally have a slight preference for Hoyt - grips fit me well.

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

Hoyt but shoot both

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

Think I'll sit this one out fellas....;)

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

I have both and like each one just the same. They both fit me (now) and I carried both thru out archery season. Just happened to have my Matthews on Halloween morning.

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

Hoyt

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

Exactly GR8, what the hell is the question?

Just a stir the pot attempt I think. [&:]

But if I had to quess at the question, Hoyt over Mathews.

HOYT

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

You talk like that's a BAD thing??? [8D]

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

Not necessarily, it just seems every single newbie to come along asks the same attempted question. Is it just to seem "in"?

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

We need to welcome the newbies with open arms. All for one, one for all.

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

Didn't say he wasn't welcome, just feel it's a rediculous post. Might make sense if it started, I'm interested in both bow manufactureres, which would you prefer or even which would you buy, or which whatever. The simple post that it is I've seen a thousand times. It's pointless as GR8 pointed out.

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

Sorry

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

This is something that i have noticed on this (and others) site. I do not post very often, and when I do its something that I feel I have contributed to/with. It erks me when there are posts like this, geeezzzz, go to a proshop, shoot all the brands they have, then go to another and shoot theirs, make an opinion of your own....... done venting....sorry.

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

Mathews....dont let anyone tell you any differently.

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

This is what I am talking about....like Buffinator has ANY IDEA AT ALL what the best bow for itchyfinger is. Does he know that the Mathews is the endall bow for itchyfinger? NO. Noone will know that except itchyfinger, if and when itchyfinger goes to a proshop and shoots....

Its great that Buffinator loves Mathews, and that it works great for him, but "go get a mathews and don't touch another thing" is not the right advice to give someone.

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

hmmmmm... I just can't seem to make up my mind which one.

RE: matthews or hoyt?

MATHEWS!!!!!!!!!!:):D
[/blockquote]

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

I agree shoot all the bows you can then make a choice(dont take any ones word for it!) besides that they all make quality bows! At least itll be fun trying them out.:D

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

Ive shot quite a few bows and mathews are my favorite but like others are saying, shoot as many as you can and then decide.

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

gotta go with hoyt... grips fit way better... just better more effeincent bow!!

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

wheres my popcorn.....oh wait, there it is

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

uhhhh......more efficient huh.......please elaborate.....because due to the numerous kills i have made and many of my friends and familyhave made.....you are going to need to fill me in on the reasoning!

i would have to say hoyt can be just as efficient as a mathews...but i simply prefer mathews.

Fact of the matter is you have to make the choice yourself, whats good for me...may not be good for you...but i like mathews. good luck!

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

Shoot all the others???? I disagree. I've shot them all. In my prejudiced opinion you should buy a Bowtech or a Darton.:D:)

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

Hoyt= Tec riser, hybrid cams, junk strings, slim grip, laminated limbs.
MAthews,=Single cam, junk strings, fat grip, better resale

You just have to try em both on and see what fits best, actually fairly different approaches to shooting an arrow really.

Then when you're done try a bowtech and pull out youir wallet LoL................:D

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

As a good friend of mine says...it is not the bow, it's the indian. However, my girlfriend's sister is women's world archery champion and a hoyt prostaffer (Erica Anschutz). I've seen what she can do with those bows with little tuning effort. I shoot hoyt, but matthews makes some great bows as well. I had a friend allow me to shoot one of his bows for my archery deer this fall.....and I really like PSE as well.

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

Seems funny thatnobody says anything when someone says "gotta go with hoyt". Seems like everyone makes such a big deal out of someone saying "Mathews". If someone said "get a Bowtech", no big deal, right?

Although, I will say that eventhough I shoot a Mathews, I would agree the best thing to do is shoot the bows you have an interest in and make your decision based on the results.

Good luck!

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

I personally shoot a mathews just fits me and like a single cam bow. But shoot what ever feels good to you.

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

Probably the wrong site to ask about any other company besides Bowtech.;)



But between Hoyt and Mathews, I'll take Hoyt every day of the week and twice on Sunday [8D]

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

I personally would go with hoyt just because they offer more options on cams and adjustability. I like a system that can be tweaked a little. I am not overly thrilled with the draw length specific cam on the mathews bows.

I have a single cam on my Bowtech but it has some adjustability to it as far as valley, let off and draw length. I really liked the CPS cams that were on my Darton, and the cams that are on my girlfriends Rintec seem pretty nice as well.

I also like the thin grips on the Hoyts as well. I was going to get a hoyt before I shot the Mighty Might.

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

So just how much extra are we paying for the big names? Who do you think is paying for all the TV shows, commercials and advertising that these two companies are doing? Does having that big name on your bow impress the deer you're shooting at?
Do you want to shoot a bow made by the company with the best advertising budget or do you want to shoot the best bow for you? Now you don't get to the top of the food chain by selling crappy products, and both companies make good bows, but so do a lot of other companies. I had a Hoyt a few years ago, I bought it because it was the best feeling bow to me that year. Unfortunately it felt good, but didn't shoot good. I had more problems with that bow then all the rest I've owned before or since. Why? Because where I bought it from was more interested in making money than providing a good bow tech service. Who you buy from, and who sets up and tunes the bow is much more important than what name is on the bow. The best bow in the world isn't worth diidly squat if it's set up and tuned by a moron! Once I figured that out and took my Hoyt to a different bow shop, all my problems were solved with 1 visit. Who you buy from maybe more important than what you buy. It took a Parker dealer to set up my Hoyt to shoot straight.
That just happens to be the best tech in MY area. Since then, I traded my Hoyt for a Parker and am very happy with it AND the customer service that goes with it. It maybe that the Hoyt or Mathews dealer has the best service in your area, or maybe someone else. My advice to anyone looking for a new bow is much the same as what the others are saying, go shoot as many as you can and while you're trying to find that bow that feels the best, you're also shopping for the best combination of quality equipment with quality service. Quality service is the more important of the two as most all American bow makers have quality products.
One of the clues that I got that told me to look for another bow shop was when the Hoyt dealer told me,"There's no need to paper tune any bow that I set up. We don't paper tune anything here." I went to the Parker dealer that same day, and ripped a 4" hole on paper at 10 yards! The bow tech then shot it himself and ripped a bigger hole. After 1 full year of fighting with my Hoyt and Hoyt dealer, the Parker dealer had it shooting bullet holes in less than 1 hour and I never had a problem with it after that. By no means am I saying all Parker techs are better than Hoyt techs or any other brand. Instead of asking what brand you should buy, ask who in your area is going to give you the best service?

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

but my advice sure gave you something to bitch about, so it's nice knowing that someone cared enough to comment on it. I got a Switchback XT less than a year ago, and I sure as heck text fired every model of bow in the store. IMO, the Switchback and Drenalin outperformed the Hoyt's I shot, and I didnt even like the Drenalin. Get off your high horse. That is all.

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

I'd have to say HOYT.... just because I like to see the Mathews boys throw a fit.

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

its not the I was picking on you, so my bad if it ruffled your feathers. I was really commenting on the state of the union of the site. Its like every noob has the SAME question, "which is better x or y." and the answers are for the most part just as useless. thats all.

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

I understand, but it seemed strange that you didn't bring that up against anyone else who said Hoyt.

*Sorry my post had to be edited.

RE: matthews or hoyt?
 

wasn't a matter of hoyt or not hoyt, just a luck of the draw that your post was the next one inline. I personally shoot hoyt, but have also shot bowtech, pse, mathews. the hoyt felt the best for me everytime. if the bowtech or mathews or pse fells better when its time to buy a new one (coming on fast :-) ) then thats the one I will shoot.
