Listen to Rick James....I have read most of this thread and not learned one thing about any company that has changed my outlook on anything in the archery business. I did however see a bunch of HUNTERS arguing to no avail about a subject that gets beat into the ground countless times each year. The only good purpose I have found from this thread is the comical value from a few that take things to close to the heart.
I could really care less what some bow company was doing 5 years ago, 20 years ago, or yesterday. To me I am going to shoot what feels good in my hand and what I have success with. To me that has been a Mathews for the past 3 seasons now. I have shot other brands, and liked some but have never found enough reason to justify spending more money to replace my Switchback.
Shoot your bow, if youlike it then keep it. If you don't then your not shooting a Mathews

..all kidding aside, and i quote Rick James..Can we lay this to rest now?
