How many times can a Matthews be dry fired, their site doesn't say?

Especially a Mathews... because they are built so poorly that I'm suprised they stay together in the first place.
Sure they are smooth, and they are quiet.... but the way they are built does not warrant a $700+ price tag in my opinion (the local shop sells them for $830 bare bow).
Hoyts are built much better... but they are heavy by todays standards... some folks like a heavier bow.
By and large... whatever you tell yourself you'll be happier with... you probably will be. Both of them will get the job done just fine. I owned a Hoyt Ultra-tec up until last year and sold it to my best friend for a good price complete... and my current back up bow is a Mathews LX... which I bought new for $200 cash (thats a good deal).

I shot both when I was shopping for a bow. The mathews' grip just didnt fit my hand at all, and I dont like having a draw length longer than my bow. They Hoyt was nice, but since I had just owned a Hoyt, I wanted something new, so I got a General. I'm actually very seriously debating trading my General for a Hoyt.

I shot bothlast week and believeme, they are both awsome bows. Shoot them both and see what "fits" you best.
And do yourself a favor, don't listen to any post that attemps to dog on either bow or manufacturer! I currentlyshoot a Bowtech and I also own a Hoyt. My Dad owns a DXT. Anyone who thinks that any of these three brands is inferior is an absolute idiot. Go with what feels good to you!
