i think matthews are pretty plain for the money but if $ doesnt matter shoot lots of bows and pick the one you like, try some cheaper bows too i shot some bows that cost alot more then my rapture but i really liked rapture after i shot all the bows in the shop i bought it.

I shoot Mathews and always will.

Shoot both though, everyones different as you can tell.

FYI:
Nothing against the drenlin. I would own one right now if it wasn't for the 3 bowsthat i have seen with cracked limbs. So if your thinkingMathewsask your dealer about it. Don't know if anyone else seen thisyet or not??

There is NO way I would choose a pse over a mathews. Since I went to mathews, My shooting/hunting accuracy has improved dramatically. Out of 5 mathews I've bought,I still have my switchback xt,bought 1 for my best friend,and sold the other 3 for more used,(several head of game) than I paid for them new! I had bad experience with pse warranty/customer service years ago and a company that won't back up their product is 1 I'll never do business with again. In fact,I now refer to pse as Pieces Scattered Everywhere. It seems like people like to bash the "top dog" but they got to be top dog for good reasons.

In my opinion, bows brands are all so very similar that it's not worth choosing by brand. I would be more concerned with the shop you do business with. Will they stand behind you if you have a problem with the bow? Do they have a reputation for selling a lot of them? Manufacturers tend to want to please their big selling shops. Does the shop have a reputation for great service? Are they really good at tuning bows or just okay?

It's more important to pick a bow based on ATA, brace height, weight, grip style and draw cycle, than by manufacturer. The bow most capable of putting the arrow where you want is the one that fits you best. That is not a function of the brand.
