most of mathews offerings are single cam bows. hoyt are binary cams.
they each have their pros/cons. i pulled back on both bows and they are so smooth. i finally chose a mathews Z7. the bow is great, but it wants to take off. it is very creep prone. you cannot let down very smoothly. the hoyt is better in this department.
if i was going to do it again..i'd take a long hard look at Elite bows. only company to offer a transferable warranty. the new Elites came out, so there are so many used bows out there for a great deal
if you look now, on Badlands website, they have a classifieds section. they have a NEW elite ANSWER for cheap sale.
know your measurements before shopping for a used bow.
