    This site is sponsored by Matthew so you're going to get mostly that answer. In my opinion though BowTech makes a better bow. Shoot them both and buy what you like.

    Definitely Bowtech, unless you like the Matthews better, then definitely get the Matthews.

    Shoot them both. Better yet. Shoot them both and throw in others as well (Hoyt, Elite, PSE, Bear, etc.) and see if you don't surprise yourself.

    Shoot them both and see what "you" like best and what fits you best. I'm a PSE & Hoyt guy, but just bought a Bowtech...lol. The bow fit me well.

    Typical Hoyt Homer response.


    shoot them all.. get the one you like best. don't let anybody tell you what bow to buy, because they are wrong. Only you know what you want, after you shoot them you'll be able to determine which is best for you.

    Im a Mathews shooter but recently I have been leaning more towards bowtech. I would check out both lines of bows and try to shoot both lines of bows and see what you like more.

    Everyone in this thread has given great feedback, well maybe all but one...lol. Anyway, Shoot them and see what fits you. Both are great bows.

    Matthews but out side of those two choices Bear is the way to go. As others have said the only way to choose between them is to shoot them and decide.

    I've shot deer with both Mathews and Bowtech. According to the heads on my wall they're both just as dead.

    With that said, Mathews all the way. :D

    Last year I walked into a shop ready to buy a Bowtech (previous Matthews owner). I ended up walking out with a Prime Impact.

    Try and shoot every bow you can.
