RE: Has anyone seen the new mathews advertizemnt?
Len,
Right you are amigo! It is truly a shame that so few archers have the benefit of someone such as yourself to steward them towards proper fit and a proper start.
While the engineers are striving for perfection at the right price point, the advertising boys are thinking up what BS they can stick in their new ads.
But I for one, am always anxious to play with the latest serious attempts to improve this rather mature product. Each year there are so many weasels claiming so called advances that you have to laugh, but then again there are usually a few nice minor improvements or sincere attempts at improving the breed that keep us buying and trying the new bows that you have GOT to sell.
I admit it, I am as guilty as anybody of wanting to play with and test the new models. That is the fun of it.... On the other hand, a well fitted, balanced, and tuned setup is such a joy to shoot be it new or old.
Plain and simple, too few archers seem to get there. They keep trying to buy what they can already have with their current bow.
As you pointed out FIT, FORM, COMFORT and TUNE are the keys to the Castle.
Cheers! Nubbb
