iowabob 85. So as far as yer whining about not putting Mathews on here maybe start yer own poll with just them. I bet you get alot of votes but you will also get alot of boos from the non-mathews people also.
I am not trying to whine or gripe, if it seems so I am sorry. I am trying to express my point. In my mind if your going to do a meaningiful andunbiased poll, then you need to list all the flavors including yours, its fun to see what everyone shoots. Yes there might be some dissagreement but all of us who come here in bowhunting will be involved. Not just the ones that shoot the brands you listed. If this was a manufactures web site then I wouldn't dissagree or disspute it. I would still think it was biased and unfairbut I wouldn't say soon their forum.I guess that is why Istay away from the manufactures web sites, from what I have seen the forum members are much to biased and stubborn for my taste. As far as starting my own poll, well I have seen that too. It has happened on several otherarchery sites just this past few months.Fellow archers do this same thing with their polls then after the thread isdone and over, they make a announcement that such and such of bow thehas tobe the very best because everyone voted for it. I went the verbal rounds with a fellow that did this very thing with Mathews bow. He felt that Mathews was the best and that everyone should see it from his point of view.I know I amsaying this again but Ifeel where we as archers error is when we assume that because brand X feels the best to us then it should feel the best to everyone else as well. When a archer makes a statement that he or she owns and shoots brand X because its feels best to them, they are correct and I belive them, but not for one second do I assume that it should feel the same to everyone else as well. With your poll I also wonder if you are choosing/deciding to buy a new bow between these companys? I also agree with whatGut Check said"You really only have 3 manufacturers up here since Hoyt owns Reflex and PSE owns AR. This sounds more like a budget dependent decision to me."If you are choosingto buy a bow from these brands then great, and you will have a awesome newbow. If this is the case, then why not just say so andask what would you choose between.If not, then I don't understandwhat results you are trying to achieve. Please don't feel that Iam trying topick a fight, because I am not, my whole purpose is to understandwhere you are comming from and at the sametime to get my point accross. I will add I know a verbal war does nothing but leave a bad feeling in ones gut, and makes one want to get revenge.Ihope that all of us members come on here to escape and get away in our mind from the dailystress of work and family needs.Heck with all the time I have spent hunting my beloved elk in the high countryin the rockies here in my home state of Idaho, I have yet to run into a fellow bowhunter/elkhunter and haveafight or argument over who's bow is betterat killing a elk or otherwise.Yet on the web sites there are verbal fights all the time over whos bow is better at this and that. I just don't understand it, oh well I'll shut up for now.
