Looking at buying my first bow

Looking at buying my first bow, obviously duck hunting is extremely exhilirating but i want to expand my skills towards deer hunting and hog hunting, my brother and two friends all have mathews bows, just wondering what else can really come close to a mathews bow lookin at the mathews monster 70# the only other bow i would think would be the quest g5 any suggestions for what to ask the guys behind the counter or what to look for in a bow

 

Get a mission if you like mathews, same company different name.

 

X2, and IIRC they are a whole lot cheaper, correct me if I'm wrong. I'd look into a starter bow and then when you get very proficient I'd look for a high end bow like a Matthews Z7. I have a PSE Stinger (1st bow, got it last December) and I couldn't be happier.

 

Don't overlook Ross Archery. I have a Matthews Outback, and my buddy has a ross bow. It shoots good, and is MUCH quieter than my outback.

ADude go shot as many as you can then decide. Forget the name on the bow and buy the one that feels the best. Hoyt, mathews, pse, bowtech, elite, ect all make great bows I do not think you can really say x is the best bow on the market but you could say x bow feels the best in my hands

 

IMO mathews is the best along with hoyt and bowtech. I have shot all three, personally love my mathews. Just my.02

 

yeah im looking at the mathews dual cam monster lineup, or the quests, only bad thing is i been to dicks and could only pull back on one bow, sucks to be lefty lol then went to my local shop and they had a mathews z7 and liked it but i wanna find a monster to see if its draws any easier or any other lefty bows lol

 

Bowtech, or look at a Diamond (Bowtechs' mail order line).
