JeffK....
You have to admit (Jeff and I are both members of the Mathews board).....that Mathews DIE HARDS are a "bit" over the top, sometimes. Now before anyone thinks I'm bashing....I OWN ONE. I'd buy another one if I needed a great bow. I just happen to like something else a "little" better, right now.
Being from NC......the big rivalry here is Duke/UNC. I've been a duke fan since 1980. I have nothing against UNC (in general). I like their campus (heck....every time I ever played against them we beat them.....lol). I like their coach. I like a great majorit of their players. It's their FANS that rub me the wrong way.
Methinks Mathews (and all bow companies.....but the public perception is Mathews has a BUNCH) has some unruly "fans".
But..."I" am a fan of their bows (not a FANATIC, though

).
