They are great bow. So are some other brands. Are they over priced ? I think so but so are some others. So are broadheads that cost 15 dollars each. As long as there's a market for the "I gotta have the best of everything" crowd then we will see the high price items. I have a Mathews Q2 I bought in 2002 and still love it. I don't see me needing anything else for a very long time.
