Even though these "big three" companies dont have their main lines of bows in the catalogs, they still make money in the catalogs. Hence the reasons the diamond line by Bowtech came out, the Reflex line by Hoyt came out, and I am not sure about Mattews, but I am sure they have a similar arrangment.

I was replacing some parts on my Reflex Superslam this weekend, and chuckled when I saw a bunch of the parts had Hoyt logos on them. Trust me, they are making just as much money in the catalogs as they are in retails sales. Remember, the economy is supply and demand, and if there is a demand for catalog bows, then the companies will be there to supply.
