Default RE: Hoyt or Mathews and tell me why

I shot hoyt's for 10 or so years. The best bow they have ever made in my book is the hoyt Stryker with Redline cam and theTenacity was a close second. I still have myStrykerand it still shoots great. It is now my back up bow though. I decided to get a new bow 5 years ago and I wasn't sold on the cam 1/2 deal. It's still a 2 cam bow. I like the ease of tuning on the single cams and after shooting a mathews LX that's what I went with. I've yet to shoot another bow that I thought out performed it. Some comparable but not enough to make me go spend $1000 for it. The only bow that I thought was close was the Ross Cardiac. I saw them for $350 on clearancea few months ago and wish I had gotten one just to have.

I don't see the deal with the cam 1/2. They aren't shooting any faster and it's just something else to get out of sync. Not saying a single cam can't get out of tune. 2 cams means twice the worry to me...same thing with the split limbs...what's the benefit and does it out weigh the possibility of malfunctioning. Maybe Hoyt will come back out with a single cam one day.

Wow-this thread has been great. Thanks to all of your for your input. Stan at Mikes let me take home an outfitted Mathews DXT over the weekend. I visited Outcast on Friday and shot the Ross Cardiac, Bowtech 101st Airborne and General. I was most comfortable with the General, so after they changed out the limbs (Recall everyone is referring to) they let me take it with me. Spent some time outside yesterday PM shooting both and...the General felt best.

Off to Buck and Bass this AM to shoot the General vs. the Hoyt Katera. They both felt good, but the Hoyt felt best to me. I still am not 100%, but leaning toward the Hoyt. I returned the DXT to Stan this AM andtold him the Mathews wasn't for me. As I thought, he had a great attitude. Thanks to him and Anthony atOutcast for letting me walk out for a weekend with thier equipment.Try that at Bass Pro Shop. Again, thanks for all your input and please support your local fishing and hunting outfitters. :usaflag
