I'd say you've made a valid observation Mr. Tom and I won't even start to disagree. I got into the highest priced Pearson model last year for alittle more than half the price of some other brands average prices through the same shop. I'm real happy with it too. Decked it out with some trick cessorys too and still kept my investment under the cost of the more expensive brands (bow only).
The shop guy once said, " ya know, that bow you've got will kill deer just as dead as one of these new ones." He was talking about my 20 year old Martin. That's an honest salesman if you ask me.
Good post.
