I don't have a dog in this fight. I shoot an "off brand" (Pearson). All I know is that I can buy 3 Pearson Stealths for the price of one Mathews DXT or whatever it's called. And I don't think there's that much difference in how they shoot. At least not enough difference to justify spending 3 times as much money.

That's what kills me about Mathews. The prices they get for the technology they put in their bows. Those things shouldn't sell for one dime over $600 if you ask me. The technology is no different from the Diamond bows. Yet they cost $300 to $400 more???

The amazing thing is that people will actually pay over $800-$900for a bare bow because it says "Mathews" on it.
If you want to really scratch your head, pop over to ebay and see what folks will pay for a used MAthews. In alot of cases they pay darn near full retail yet don't get a warranty. I would anti up the extra $50-75.00 bucks to get a warranty bfore paying what they sell for. Great bows but sheesh??????????
So now what are we saying here...they are not worth the money because they hold their value? Last time I checked, that was the definition of worth. Whether it be a Mathews bow or any thing in life, spare me from buying something that is worth little to nothing in a short period of time after purchase.
