I have an older Hoyt that I bought back in the day you could buy 2 Hoyts for the price of a Mathews.. Prices are going up on both, but Hoyt is still an awesome bow and choice. I'm sticking with it for a while, but am going to also take a good look at the Elite bows. Hearing great things about them, plus I love the snow camo that you can get them in..
