Just think though, This year I will have spent nearly $1100 on my Mathews LX and all of the garbage mounted on it. I will spend another $100 on arrows and Broad heads, in three years I will sell the bow for $400 if I can get it. and buy the new wizbang bow on the market.
BUT I paid $600 for my Remington 700, $150 for the muzzle break, $300 for the scope, $100 for other " accessories" Shot about $100 through the gun, That puts me at $1250 roughlly. I can see that rifle in my family for 100 years if it is well taken care of. That' s the reason the guns cost so much and when you compare that to Archery,,,, there is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo much more value in a rifle.
