If I had low living expenses, (much like B.S.) I surely wouldn't go around broadcasting my low overhead and driving my ownprice down.

It doesn't behoove B.S. to come on here and say (just making some numbers up)"Oh, we only pay 1% of gross sales to HCA for the roller guard, $6.00 to Darton on the camsand $11.00 to Realtree for the camo rights" when he's hawking bows for the better part of a thousand dollars. LOL

You keep referring to "market price," but I'm afraid we're not dealing with a truly "open" market.

I'm gonna quietly bow out of this conversation right now before I share the same fate as the last guy who went down this road.

But for what it's worth, I almost bought an Allegiance new last year. I just didn't like the price. I'll always say that the '05 Ally was the best bowhunting bow ever built. So it's not that I'ma bowtech basher...

Whatev... Just calling a spade a spade.
