Go for the Ultra, it's one of the best bows ever made. It has probably won more major tournaments and set more world records in the modern era than any other bow period.

Hmm....interesting to see those statistics.
Anyway, as the original question was about the Matrix, it might be worth noting that an Ultra could set you back an extra 50% ish...

It is the only 1400 riser.

Bearing in mind that Malcofsale said in his post that he 'is new to archery and looking to buy his first bow', I think the 1400 bit might be slightly academic?

Well he can spend 100 today and 300 later. or just 300 today. My point was that the Ultra is capable of shooting to any level, I see why people buy cheap limbs but not cheap risers as it's a false economy in the long run.

We can play this tennis game all day long Tel and this is my last shot before I give up. Your very right there is little to choose between the two of them or for any other top end riser, I think* an exfeel holds the mens record with Oh Kyo Moon. Though surely the Nexus and Helix have moved the game onwards I just pointed out that the highest score ever was with an Ultra and also an Ultra was used to win the world cup this year if I have my facts right as I believe Park Kyung Mo still shoots an Ultra. There has to be a good reason why it has been in production for such a long time and it is surprising that it isn't very popular on these shores. I doubt anyway that most people know what is right for them or not, most people pick bows by looks and how the stock grip feels to them.

Like some people said in many other posts... The riser shoots many times better than you can, if I were you, I'd choose the one I think is best looking, and in my case.. It is the Helix,

But I got a NeXus for some stupid reason, still great-looking!
