Cousin bought the destroyer 340, buddy bought the Mathews z7, I bought the Hoyt maxxis. All three draw nicely, but the advertisement or sales pitch for me was when we went to the target shoot and heard them the destroyer squeaks and kreaks a little when drawn and makes a good amount of noise when released. The mathews I thought drew the smoothest but no doubt was the loudest on release. I thought my buddy was hitting his sleeve when he shot but we watched it was just string noise. He did shoot it very well and was new to the sport if that means anything to you. Of course I like the hoyt the best but you really need to go and shoot them to see the differences.
