RE: Octane accesories....
I posted in another thread regarding the prices of these accessories. While I don't want to type as much as I did in that thread, I'll try to sum it up quickly. For starters, those are SUGGESTED RETAIL prices. No shop that I know of charges SRP. I think you will find the prices are in line with accessories offered by Mathews and Fuse (Hoyt), just to name a couple.
I understand money being tight as much as anyone. I own a small business, have a wife, and two kids. Having said that, the benefits that machined aluminum offers over plastic are worth the extra cost. I have owned far too many plastic accessories, especially quivers, that broke in the middle of season. If you spend the better part of both deer and turkey seasons in the woods with your bow, where your extra money went will become apparent when you are not fighting, cracks, stripped screws and straight up breakages.
