It's like this:

The local pro-shop here in town got turned down by Mathews when they first opened, but they had Bowtech and Hoyt. I would go in there to shoot my Mathews, and the guys would rip on me..calling my bow junk/over-priced/over-rated/etc...

Last year a Mathews dealer up the road from me closed..and the one in my town got the ok to be a Mathews dealer. Every one of the staffers shoot Mathews to date.

I now drive 35 minutes to a different pro-shop, instead of 5 minutes. It was funny last fall seeing the local guys have their pictures on the wall in their shop..Mathews in hand next to their animal. Fools.
