I bought the matrix last year and the element this year. I don't think I'll ever buy another metal riser bow again. As far as speed goes, I'm shooting a 410gr arrow @ 298fps, that's plenty fast for me. The balance of the element is unmatched by any other bow I've shot, the "after shot" feels great, it's easy to hold on target, and it's quiet. I liked my switchback xt for hunting, but the element is just as nice to shoot, better balanced, a bit quieter, a lot lighter, warmer, and about 25-30fps faster.
