Your first statement may very well be correct. There are more Mathews shooters out there no doubt. Same as your second statement. I believe this to be a direct result of the amount of money that Mathews pays out. I was just talking to another "pro" shooter yesterday. He stated that if it ws about money to him, that he would probably be shooting a Mathews, but he believes in Bowtech product and vision. I like to think that the reason that Bowtech isn't out there dumping money on the competition scene, paying shooters like crazy, is because they would rather focus it on consistently putting out quality products instead of settling. Just my two cents put in a realistic non combative way. Good shooting everybody, whatever you are drawing.
