What are your thoughts of high end archery gear being made of plastic?


I'm just sayingas a consumer paying $80-$200 dollars fora piece of gear(that is ascriticalto having no failure in the fieldas a rest or sight) thatmanufacturing them out of aluminum ormagnesium rather than plasticisn't asking for to much in my opinion.

After breaking severalpieces of gearmade with / out ofplastic components over the past couple years, I now make it a point to only purchase gear thatis made of aluminum etc.

Note: I do see in some cases where plastic would need to be used for fiber optic wraps quivers and stabilizers, but other than that I can't think of one good reason to make a "high end" sight or rest out ofplastic or to use plastic components.
