I don't even let people bother me anymorewho bash other bows just because they don't shoot it. Just like any other industry, if one company comes out with a breakthrough in technology its going to get copied. mathews has been copied before and i'm sure mathewshas copied other companies before.Although it does seem that mathews shooters, such as myself, catch a lotmore hell on this site than other brand shooters. Not sure why, but oh well.
