Mathews SQ2 or Hoyt RazorTech
 

After eight years with my browning I am looking for a new bow. Either the SQ2 or the Razor tech. I am looking primarily for deer hunting. My draw length is 28-29 and my draw weight is between 50-60 lbs. I just shot the SQ2 yesterday and was very impressed. I have not had a chance to fire the razortech. I am interested in hearing from someone who may have shot them both.

Well, I have a biased opinion on this but I will give it anyway. I currently shoot the SQ2 and I have no complaints on it. It has performed up to my expectations for 2 years now.

I have not shot the hoyt, but I have had my hands on it, and I just don' t like the feel of the bow. I think it has a lot to do with the grip. I am sure that could be overcomed just by shooting it for a while.

All Hoyt bashing aside, you just need to go and shoot the Hoyt too, and go by feel. The bows are both great bows and you will be happy with either. But when you buy the SQ2 let us know!;):D

Hmmm,

That is a tough one. You are the only person that can make the decision. My personal preference would be the RazorTec. It is incredibly smooth, fast, and boy is that grip SWEET! There were a few things that I didn' t like about the RazorTec, mostly the weight distribution, but, that played a VERY small role in my decision on which bow to buy, but, it was enough to make me pick a BowTech MightyMite over it.

The Mathews is a great bow, but, there is just something about the Mathews bows that I don' t like. I have never really been able to pin-point what exactly it is, but, it is VERY minor. But, when choosing your perfect bow, you have to take everything into consideration.

Before I selected my Razortec, I compared at least a half-dozen bows. I didn' t shoot the SQ2, but did try the Legacy. The Razortec' s draw cycle was so much smoother feeling to me and had no recoil. I' ve had it for less than 2 weeks and am grouping incredibly well at all ranges.

RE: Mathews SQ2 or Hoyt RazorTech
 

You should shoot both,but make sure they are equipped similarly (string leeches and Limbsavers). It will probably come down to personal preference. And probably down to the grip!! I can only say that I have never been dissappointed with any of my last 3 Mathews. My new LX is just awesome !! But I think Hoyt makes a very good bow also.......it' s just not for me !!

And I think the SQ-2 draws much smoother than the Legacy !

My brother has the SQ2, and I' ve shot it quite a bit. Last week, I was shooting a friend' s razortech, so it' s fresh in my mind.

I really liked the razortech, very smooth, quiet and vibration free. I' m sure it would perform very nicely. However, those are not my only considerations when choosing a hunting bow. I want a high brace height (to clear thick clothing in cold weather and for maximum forgiveness when shooting broadheads out of a short bow), which the SQ2' s 8.5" really excells at. I also want a short ATA, since almost all my deer hunting is out of tree stands in thick cover. I believe the SQ2 is shorter than the razortech and therefore I' d prefer it for my style of hunting. The SQ2 is also plenty quiet and fast enough in my opinion, so it gets the nod in my book.

It should be no surprise that the Razortec gets my vote...and for some of the various reasons already mentioned. The draw cycle is very smooth with an easy transition into the valley and a solid backwall. The bow is quiet, lightweight, compact and very accurate. The new cam design also promotes better speed than previous single and dual cam Hoyt offerings from past years and, finally, the grip is excellent at reducing hand torque.

Definitely go shoot them as both bows have their distinctive feel. Either would be a good selection for your intended application.
