So much loyalty on display..... This topic pops up every 2 weeks and the same Mathews guys find their way to defend a company that won't even take part in the ATA show.......AGAIN.
Could someone explain why Mathews doesn't attend this show? Do they not want to offer any discounts to dealers? Is it that they don't want to spend the money? Is it Arrogance?
Someone must know.
Gutshot is exactly right. They took the$250,000 they normally spent on this show and put it into thefuture of this sport by helping toget archery back into the school systems through NASP.
Seems pretty noble if you ask me.
As far as discounts to dealers go....who says they (or any other bow manufacturer for than matter) needs to give discounts to dealers. Price the bows, if they sell fine, that's what business and making money is all about. If they didn't sell....you'll see the prices come down.
They (Mathews)make a solid performing bow. When I look at my Switchback, it looks pretty up to date with technology to me. In fact it has components on it that Bowtech didn't have even when it's concepts were being put to use by other companies (roller guide, built in string suppressors, etc..) so I feel they are pretty up to speed with the tech. curve.
Nothing was worse than that cheap (and I do mean cheap) plastic guide slide that Bowtech/Diamond installed on there top of the line bows.[:'(]My Rapture/Techunter slide broke in the first 100 shots and I ended up going with an aftermarket one rather than even bother with another bowtech slide.
No company is perfect and these threads while amusing really don't settle anything.......but I do love posting on them.
