The best bow is the one that fits you, and that you feel comfortable shooting. Mathews bows are top end, but no better than top-end Hoyts or other brands. I wouldn't get hung up on a brand, I'd get excited about the brand that you can shoot a six inch group at 40 yards with.

I've shot Mathews, Hoyt, and G-5 Primes, all have good points and bad, the brand label wasn't the important point to consider. A $1000 bow with a poor tuned set-up is still a poor tuned bow that won't group at the end of the day.

Currently running a Mathews Z7 in the woods, and a Hoyt CRX 35 on the range, but it will be in the woods as well. The Hoyt shoots a bit better and "feels" better carrying and shooting than the Z7 does. The Primes were sold earlier this year, just didn't remain consistant over time.

Get a relationship with an archery Pro Shop, and shoot everything on their rack, then see what the brand name is. JMO.
