I didn't say I have never shot one. I said I have never owned one. Trust me I had plenty of opportunities to shoot mathews bows because everyone I knew owned one. Including my Brother-In-Law, who's bow I shot pretty often. Don't get me wrong, Mathews makes a great bow (One of the best for sure). I just always enjoyed showing up with something different everytime we met for a shoot. I def. didn't mean to cross anyone the wrong way here. I was just simply stating that it seems like everyone In WV shoots a mathews. Unlike, other places such as IL where I live now, there seems to be a more diversified market everywhere else. However, I wouldn't expect anything less from my Brother-in-law he is a Mountaineer fan!!![:'(] Again, No hard feelings guys. I was Just commenting on something I have always wondered about.
