if you think about is it really worth spending $500 on a top of the line bow when you could buy a bow that shoots just as well but doesnt have the name that the other one does... is it worth it? maybe. it all depends on the shooter. if you have the best bow and you cant shoot it at all whats the point of having the best bow? if you can hit the vitals each time you shoot with the bow you have why buy and brand new one?
