Ive owned 5 MATHEWS bows and 4 AR bows no complaints I liked em all. Ive never owned a BOWTECH but I have a friend who shoots BOWTECHs and he loves em, Ive shot a few of his bows and the BOWTECHS dont seem hardly as forgiving as either MATHEWS or ARs but I will say this the BOWTECHS Ive shot are extremely fast. Go out to some archery shops and try em out for yourself most good dealers will let you shoot their bows............good luck!........................547.
