New Bow? Mathews or Bowtech

buckgtr · 04-18-2003, 01:57 PM

I have a huge problem, I can't make up my mind on what new hunting bow to purchase. I use a release and hunt on the ground as well as out of treestands. I have narrowed it down to Two brands Mathews and Bowtech. I have shot Bowtech's Patriot bow and Mathews Legacy and like them both. Anybody have any info or opinions they would like to express on these two brands of bows I would greatly appreciate it.

<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helv">Thanks, the Legacy is the bow I am leaning towards. The lack of hand shock is amazing when shooting this bow.

JMO,

Love my Mathews.

I really like the fact that I can re-string the bow with just an allen wrench in the field.

Quality bow, very durable, smooth quiet accurate, light

Three of my hunting buddys shoot bowtech bows. No problems with them. It will be my next bow

I have two bowtech bows. The best bows I have ever shot. Patriot with high brace height and a Pro 38 short brace height. Both are excellent bows. Both very quiet The Pro 38 very fast 324 grain arrow shoots 307 fps @ 29" @ 60#. The Patriot is my hunting bow with higher brace height it doesn't hit my heavy jacket. It is slower @ 60# @ 29 " 384 grain arrow 265 fps. This is my 2 cents of info.

I have the MQ-1 from mathews, if I were to buy a new bow I would get another mathews....legacy specs look good for me too.

Both great bows, but you should look at the new hoyts. The cam & half bows are fast and quiet. My buddy has a legacy and he ain't to happy with my hoyt being quieter than his bow.

I would also look at the new hoyt. They are real nice and quiet. just my .02.........

Mathews gest my vote, but I believe they are more pricey.
