Default RE: Top of the food chain??

PSE without a doubt is selling more bows than Bear, Browning, or Martin. Remember as well, Browning is PSE, as well as Archery Research (AR).........all PSE's.

I know Martin experienced a 25% increase in sales last year alone as well. They sell a TON of bows through the box stores as well as having a good pro series only line, plus they have the traditional line as well as Rytera too. I know they don'tsell as many bows as Hoyt, Mathews, or Bowtech but I am sure they are selling a LOT more than people realize just because of all their lines.........they can get into more stores that way without having to deal with territory restrictions. The gold series bows can be sold through any shop with no territories, the traditional bows can be sold anywhere, and then the Martin Pro Series and Rytera's which are sold in protected dealer territories are split up as seperate product lines.........so realisticallyif you have 5 shops in a 10 square mile area all 5 can be selling bows manufactured at the Martin facility. I know where I live there are 6 shops within 20 or so miles and you will find some sort of new martins on everyones racks.
