My point was there not "as good or better" than Mathews,If they were , they wouldnt sell them in mail order catologs. Did you ever see a Rolex in walmart? However I do agree, we all have our favorites and my opinion is no better than yours. Just dont be lazy- take the time to travel to a pro shop and if you decide you like Parker go 4 it , but if youthink Mathews is the better bow pay the x-tra 80$ !!!!
