I find this quote funny only because it comes from a guy who shoots a bow from a company with a Nascar sponsored vehicle and invovlement in PBR sponsoring.How much do you think that costs Bowtech? The big boys all got big by making lots of money. We live in a a capitalist country so I'm not going to begrudge them that.
Dont much care what you find funny, Bry.....you know it's the truth.
You can't sling a dead cat without hitting a Mathews marketer.......and the money they must spend oufitting and paying the "Pro" hunters must be astronomical. How many big name guys are endorsing Mathews? Shoud we start a thread naming them? Not sure there's enough bandwidth
No argument on that Jeff, Mathews is without a doubt marketingwhores. Bowtech spends their money too. In the end the consumer pays for all of it. I just don't hold it against any of the companies, that's all.

Plus....there's one bow company (ahemmm)....that must spend $300/bow on advertising!

If I were forced to buy a bow tomorrow and had to choose between the Bowtech 82nd Airborne and the GTO (picked these two because of similar performance specs) I would go with the Bowtech because I know the company and know what to expect.

Would you make that decision after shooting the two, or just make it solely on Bowtech, being the more stable company.
That would be based on Bowtech being the more stable company. I think Elite makes some of the best bows on the market, and Kevin has made some significant efforts to undo the initial mistakes he made early on, but there is still uncertainty with Elite. Call me old fashioned, but I like that warm fuzzy. I'd rather drive a Toyota over a Scion too.
