I’ve owned a pile of Mathews since 2000. I’d have to say the Lift and Lift X. The Lifts have been the easiest Mathews bows I’ve ever tuned.

MQ1, was an absolute game changer in the woods, when it came out on the market

Technology has evolved so much it's crazy. My newest Bowtech literally tuned from start to finish in a matter of minutes. I made 3 allen head adjustment, 1/2 turn - 1/4 turn - 1/4 turn and was clean through paper

Switchback is the answer I shot one for years. I had a chillr that I really liked and still kick myself for selling it. I shoot a traverse now and I cant see any reason to ever buy another bow

What about the best one you’ve shot though? Obviously best is subjective, but which has been your favorite

I'm still shooting a 2000 Q2 and it's a great bow.

For a long time it was the old Q2, which came out in 2000. At this point it’s the Lift X 33. It’s the smoothest and best aiming bow I’ve ever shot.

Q2 , Switchback for sure, I need to try the lift to see what the hypes about.
I'll never sell my switchback again. Sold my last one and took me a year to find another one

What’s your favorite ice cream flavor? Do you eat other flavors as well?

Im the same way I've tried several different brands and mathews is just what I like. I've shot a couple of elites that were pretty nice and could see myself owning. Never shot a hoyt or pse that I cared for

When I bought my VXR I shot all of them and the Mathews is the sweetest shooting.
