Compound Bow Comparator

The Hoyt Carbon Matrix is an extremely quiet and great shooting bow. While it's not the fastest rig out there, its innovative riser design and silky smooth draw cycle make it a great shooter. Even a bare Carbon Matrix is dead in the hand and has no hand shock or vibration. In addition, this is a very lightweight and well balanced bow with a lot of forgiveness. While it's a high quality rig with innovative design, its high price tag will not fit everyone's budget. Overall, the Carbon Matrix is one of the best hunting bows with fantastic shootability characteristics. Read full review...
