Chase. I don't care what you spend your money on. I have one Bowtech bow. I bought it from my local bowshop owner last December. The deal he gave me on the bow is between he and I.....but it's sweet

. I have friends who are on the corporate staff for Bowtech, yes. But to be honest.....they were friends before I knew that.....and I've never gotten a dime's worth of discount from Bowtech due to these friendships.
You get whichever bow you want to....and don't base it on what anyone else says. That's advice I'd give anyone.
Good luck with your choice.
