This would definately be a wonderful thing if this were to happen.The only thing that i think most people would object to is the price.I think that in order for something of this magatude to come about the price for "this" bow would astonomical.To invole bow companies,arrow maker's,and broadhead maker's into one projectwould drastically raise prices beyond what normal people could even afford.I'll take one though
Not necessarily; now the manufacturer has the potential to spread profits out between three or more components (making a bit on each) rather than trying to make all their profit on one. Costs could actually decrease for a whole finished/tuned rig.
The drawback I see here is that people don't come out of cookie cutters. We're all different sizes and shapes. Each draw length/weight is going to require a different arrow which requires a different set-up. To compound that problem we have different applications as well; what I shoot for 3D isn't what I shoot for NFAA isn't what I shoot for hunting and what I hunt brown bears and moose with isn't what I hunt deer with... Now we're talking about a whole slew of different set-ups. When you add to that the number of different manufacturers you get just about what we have now; an individual with certain needs and a bow with certain needs that need to be matched and tuned to each other. That's why there'll always be Chevys, Fords and Dodges (Hoyts, BowTechs and Matthews) and bows will always need some level of tuning.
