Driftrider, good post and I see your point. I'm one of those people that will spend the money if it feels right, and 1000.00 just doesn't feel right. There was a definate difference between the top of the line and the cheaper models, but I don't think the difference is warranted in twice the cost. Secondly, if I buy a gun I will have it for the rest of my life, and it's value may even increase, compared to a bow whose value drops quickly, and won't last a lifetime. I still cannot see the justification for spending twice on a top model, I got a lifetime warranty with my PSE, and frankly, I thought the Typhoon shot better then the Primos. Honestly, I had to shoot several arrows and really concentrate to tell the difference, and I admit there was some. I'm starting to think that Mathews, Bow Tech and some of the others are selling 400.00 bows for 750.00. 400.00 for the bow, 350.00 to say you shoot a Mathews. I hear alot of people saying the bow is worth the money, but not many saying why it's worth twice the cost of other bows.
