[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1665658, member: 110162"] Seriously, I dont know what Mathews has these days. I stepped down as the bow guru in my area in 2010 . But.....for 14 yrs I sold Mathews, Hoyt, Bowtech, PSE, Bear, Darton, and Elite bows . The store I worked for was one of the first shops to sell Mathews in 1994, if memory serves. As someone who dealt with Mathews bows and knew many of their shooter staff and even shot for them for 1 year, they were very much better at marketing than designing bows. I see they have finally wised up and started selling something similar to a binary cam system . At least they are learning now instead of trying to brainwash everyone into buying into an inferior cam system. If I were to buy a bow now (cant shoot anymore / neck is fried from shooting bows too much for years) I would look at Bowtech or Elite . At your draw length, I would shoot for something over 35" , and probably 37 or 38" to get the string angle a little more forgiving . I would also look at some of the new stuff from PSE. They were starting to get some interesting design ideas working when I left the business . Try to find the most reputable shop in your area, even if it means traveling a little farther . It's worth every extra mile to have the draw length measured and set, rest, loop, peep height, proper arrow spine set up properly. I was blessed to have loyal customers from 6 states take the time and expense to travel to get there stuff worked on by me. Your first bow can make you a shooter for life, or make you quit before you even start good. Take time to do it right. [/QUOTE]
