Exactly. Just because someone who shoots a Mathews, Hoyt, or Bowtech refers to your bow as a "piece of crap" shouldn't shame you into purchasing something else. If it shoots good and is quiet, it will work at crunch time. A big part of bowhunting is confidence. Don't let yours get weakened with a snooty comment or two.
Right on Roskoe. He's on the ball or the bulls eye as usual, there's alot of archer know-it-alls around and have fun with that Parker and your friend told you right, once you kill onewith a bow you'll be a bowhunter for life.
