I had a Hoyt before the Mathews. It was a good bow. My feather max was bought in 97 and this is the first problem I have ever had with it. On the other hand I had to send my Hoyt back right out of the box. After 3 or 4 shots the stabilizer, insert and all, would fall off the bow. They fixed it no questions asked and I never had another problem. Both are good bows, but I prefer the Mathews.
