Is Mathews bandwagon??

just out of curiousity of how many of you think so?? With their new Slim Limbs and single cam tech., do you think this company performs better than others?? Or is it just bandwagon?

The archery techs that I have talked with and know usually talk about Mathews as being top of the line. Manufacturing tolerances and fit are exceptional on Mathews products. Tech’s have told me they can pull bow after bow from the boxes and set them up all the same, very consistent product. The design and innovation of Mathews no doubt has been industry leading.

With that said, I recently bought a Ross Cardiac bow. I’m also very impressed with Ross’s build and fit. The biggest difference for me was the $200+ savings – I simply couldn’t justify the additional cost for the Mathews.

I was wondering that myself. I have always shot a PSE. Never even touched a Mathews. No idea what they shoot like………………

Hope I am not missing something……..

I shoot a bowtech and i have never been happier. IF you are looking, just go to a place and shoot as many bows as you like you will find your own personal favorites.

Bowtech has never let me down. Smooth and quiet. I think they have high end quality.

My brother shoots a Fred bear instinct and you would be surprised on how smooth and quiet this bow is.

I think if you were too go out and shoot a bunch of different bows in different price ranges you would find some cheaper bows that can shoot like a high end bow and high end bows that really don’t have much of an advantage. but not all

Its all personal liking and what you are comfortable with. I have shot mattews and they are good.

I shot with a pse for five or more years and then I was at my local archery shop and shot a new hoyt and switchback. Lucky my wife was with because I left with the switchback and havent been happier. That being said my old bow laid the deer down very effectively also. It was a little heavier, a little louder, and may not have been quite as flat shooting. I hunt at least 60 days a season and so the bow spends alot of time i the woods which is a consideration also. Shoot em all and go with what feels best out of what you can afford. Your local proshop should be more than happy to line em all up and let you compare the bows. good luck!!

Bandwagon NO, but not the best bow for everyone in the world either. Personal Preference, go with what you like and what fits you best.

I have a Ford, GMC, Matthews and a PSE.

I recently decided to upgrade to a top of the line bow and I went to my local shop and shot the normal favorites. After shooting the new PSE X force, Bowtech Alliegance, Hoyt Vectrix, and Matthew’s Drenalin, Matthews got my vote. As mentioned before, all these bows have great features to them, but Matthew’s offered what I wanted out of a new bow.

Shoot them all, then make your choice.

In the past, have shot Oneida, drove Chevy,.. now have Hoyt, Dodge & Jeep.. Nothing wrong with Matthews, just thought the Hoyt was a better fit for me. (mostly, my local archery shop that carried Matthews had a 15 year old kid, trying to help me decide, they had Matthews and Hoyt) the other archery shop,(Hoyt only) I had the owner helping me. I do believe, the shop where they carried both, Matthews must have had a better commission for the salesman.

I shoot a Reflex and could not be happier. I have owned PSE and Martin as well and this bow by far is the better one. I have shot Mathews bows and other single cams but cannot seem to get used to the draw cycle. Some people swear by it but I find it rather uncomfortable. Also, they are quite possibly the most over-priced bow on the market. Shoot every bow you can, they will all kill (or miss) deer equally well. Today, it’s all about comfort.

I currently shoot a hoyt year round both indoors and outdoors. Like previously mentioned all bows have to be suited to the individual. With that being said I believe each bow company has its weaknesses in design and need to be factored into the decision when purchasing a new bow. The best thing to do is to shoot every thing your interested in and shoot for groups as everyone shoots a bow differently. Just my .02

i never thought about that until now that you say it! my brother got into shooting his bow he mows a couple lawns and saved enough for a cheaper brand name (not sure what kind) and he wants me to get into shooting, i myself have not shot more than 30 arrows in my life and have no clue but the shops that i have talked to keep pushing mathews on me and really wont even talk about the other brands “o dont worry about that one this one here made by mathews is just right for you”

It was just a curious question to everyone here, thanks for the replies My dream bow, w/o a doubt would have to be the Guardian by Bowtech!!!! I have shot my buddies switchback XT and i didn’t like the cycle draw I don’t know why but to me it was a little smoother compared to other single cam bows. That’s why i shoot a dual cam bow, for that and many other reasons too

I think they have to over advertise to make up for something. Kind of like Toyota, Daiwa, and Ranger boats. If you take an average product and push it on people it will sell. They are a good bow but nothing special.
