This is such an individualistic question, it is kind of hard to answer. For me personally.....maybe. I bought a magna tec in '00 for a decent price, that was not the part I have the problem with. It came equipped with absolute junk sites, no quiver, etc... That is where I dump a fair amount of cash on carbons, sites, stabalizer, then this mediocre priced bow all of the sudden started getting kind of expensive! Do I think a Mathews is worth the $1,000 they are asking, absolutely not. But people will pay it, so there is your answer. The demand is so high for these bows that they are difficult to keep on the shelves at a grand! And believe you me, if they gave some lamo excuse and raised them to two grand, people would buy them just the same.

I have about $700 invested in my rig, but I plan on keeping it for a long, long time...probably until it literally breaks in the hands. Bows are just like everything else (cars, computers, etc.), everybody wants the newest and best of everything, and they want it NOW, no matter what the cost.

If someone like Tribal shoots as much as he does, has the money to spend, and isn't going to lose any sleep while he runs to the bowshop to see if his bow is still the fastest.....more power to him.

Just my two cents.
