I am debating between a Mathews Creed & and Mathews HTR No cam. Price is essentially the same. Don't respond if you are going to bash Mathews, tell me to buy something completely different, or if you are going to be a smart @$$. Responses of creed or htr and maybe why would be greatly appreciated!

I have shot Mathews, but never bought one. I will tell you this, the best way to buy a bow is to shoot as many makes and models as you can set up identically and let the bow pick you. when you find the right bow you will know it. good feel in your hand, comfortable on the draw and rock solid and quiet on the shot. Boys now days are way to expensive to just go buy one and not try as many as you can. You owe it to yourself.

I would probably go with the slow cam, i mean, no cam out of those two. But if you had a little more room in your budget you might give a mathews tactic a look. Both of the bows you are looking at are out paced by today's bows but the no cam is very smooth and quite. The creed would be fine too. If one seems considerably better to you, go with it.

Since your looking at used and don't want suggestions for something completely different, how about a original Halon. I haven't shot the Creed but I shot the No Cam and Halon side by side when shopping for a new bow a few years ago. I have a bad draw shoulder and I found the Halon surprisingly easier on the shoulder than the No Cam.

Very different draw cycles is the biggest difference.
I owned a Creed and shot it well. I think it was the last series of solo cams that Mathews produced, so you get that style of draw.
Skipped the no cam hunting bow but shot the target bow version. For me it was extremely smooth on the draw.
The no cam is supposed to be around the same speed as the creed(at least IBO), but most consider it to be slower.
I would try to shoot them both.. that will tell you for sure.
I would probably lean no cam just for that smooth draw.
