What is the better choice for a hunting bow? Mathews DXT or the Hoyt Katera?

I am getting ready to buy a new bow after this season, and i have narrowed it down to the mathews or the hoyt. At first i was leaning towards the hoyt because of the price but i recently discovered that the local pro shop carry's both bows for the same price.What is the better choice for a hunting bow?

Hoyt makes a fine bow, but the Katera is not my favorite- they went for the speed by lowering the brace height, and this does not make a forgiving hunting bow.The Dxt is a great hunting bow.However, you should check out the Bow-Tech Guardian while you are deciding. Good luck.What is the better choice for a hunting bow? Mathews DXT or the Hoyt Katera?
ask to hold both bows. i would go for the lighter of the two, so that you can hold ti up longer if you have to. both bows will do the job fine so you cant go wrong ether way, but if you get the mathews you can say ';hey ive got a mathews and you don't.'; if you can shoot both bows and choose after you've felt how they shoot. good hunting.
In my opinion i believe that Matthews would be the better choice if the price is the same. thin is in and matthews has been know for making the best bows. although all of team realtree uses hoyt it is your decision talk to your local archery store owner for his perspective.
I think the best choice would be the one that works best for you. They will both perform the same job. See if you can shoot both and then go from there.
Mathews By a MILE and then some!
Find an indoor archery range and see what others your height and build are shooting. If these brands are to be considered, someone will be shooting one there. A real sportsman will share his pro's and con's with you and may even let you shoot his rig. Be ready, however, to consider a different rig if it seems many others there are doing well. Price and a factory warranty are not the best factors in a purchase. I suggest that on your 1st visit, just sit and watch. You know the old saying, ';Shoot and ask questions later';.
