Default Who"™s after #3?

I hear alot of people say that Hoyt, Bowtech andMathews are the big 3 in archery. So, if Bowtech, Hoyt and Mathews(In no particular order) are the big 1,2 and 3 who is 4, 5 and 6?

PSE, Bear and Martin in no particular order. Maybe Elite but they don't put out alot of bows. Darton is up there i'm sure.

PSE is no doubt #4 if Hoyt, Mathews, and Bowtech are the big 3.

I bet if you went by sales PSE and Bear would be 1 and 2. Those two companies sell a TON of bows because they offer so many different models and are sold nearly everywhere.

I agree with the above statement. Not only are they sold at so many different locations, but they are priced to sell a ton also. If you are talking about quality, I would agree that Hoyt, Mathews, Bowtech are 1,2,3...4,5,6....PSE, Bear, High Country in no certain order.

I bet you depending on what criteria you used... Hoyt, Bowtech, Matthews, Bear, Martin,& PSE could all be shuffled around in any order.

Gross sales, Total units sold, Bow only sales, etc, etc.

I have been out of the loop for the last 4-5 years as far as buying new equipment. I will tell you this I sold a Hoyt enticer and replaced it with Darton, they don't get a lot of respect but in my opinion they deserve it. I would think they should be in there somewhere....Just my opinion.

Yes, I am talking quality or at least the perception of quality. And volume is not an indicator of quality, because ifthat was so then a Ford Escort would be a better quality car then a Corvette!
