    Hey guys, I've shot a bowtech invasion for a while now and absolutely love the bow, but lately I've been hearing very good things about Mathews, would it be a good switch or not? Help me out.

    ArcheryAddict there are a lot of factors to consider here but the most important one is what feels right to you. I would recommend finding a shop that has a few different offerings and shoot as many as you can. I currently shoot a Mathews and they make a quality bow but so does Hoyt and Elite to name a few.

    This does not make things easier for you but is the best advice I can give. Good luck and let us know what you do.

    I know you meant "does not" but this still made me chuckle!

    Mathews make a good product. All my friends and family shoot Hoyt, Mathews and Bowtech bows but lots of really really good bows out there now.

    My opinion is that Matthews are great bows but so are many others. It really depends on you though, what you want to do and what feels better to you is more important than the brand name on the bow.

    Like others said, go shoot a few some different ones and see what they feels like. Whatever feels best and you shoot best, BUY THAT ONE! I love the new Mathews No Cam HTR and I am buying one.

    I've made a decision after handling them both, I'm sticking with my BT invasion, I really love the back wall, sorry Mathews fans, I don't look down on Mathews at all, just my opinion

    What ever feels good in your hand is the one you want to shoot, we don't no what feels good to you all we can do is make recommendations. Sounds like you picked out a good bow and enjoy it.
