It seems to me that they purposefully wait until the AMO show to &quot;unveil&quot; their goodies. When they brought out the Q2 with the harmonic dampers the Mathews booth was so crowded you could hardly get in it. McPherson has stated that his strategy is to stay just ONE step ahead of the competition (as opposed to light years ahead). That is an interesting plan, job security by design!

Agreed. However, a couple of weeks before the 2000 models were out, the reps knew enuff to be able to say what was coming in general terms. In 2001 the SQ2 was on dealer shelves before the show (to make up for the terrible delivery problems they had in 2000 I suspect). This year the MAthews reps seem to know nothing, or have been instructed to be extremely secretive compared to years previous. Of course MAtt's team very well could have another not terribly revolutionary product like the HD system and some re-hash bows like he did in 2001, but he would be stupid if he did. Companies like Bowtech could very easily upset the apple cart if the bigger boys start to rest on their laurels.
