P.S. camo patterns (camo at all for that matter) are highly overrated and not needed.
While I agree with you 100%, Big........I only stated that it WILL sell bows. Heck, it sells camo, every year.
If I were to start a company and it becomes a success and I get arrogant enough that the board of directors tells me to get lost so I start another company manufacturing the same product and they tell me to get lost again (pure speculation at this point), so I start another company manufacturing the same thing .............. It can't be a good thing for my future ventures. Seems far more productive and makes much better financial sense to get along with the people from the first company because I sure as heck wouldn't be able to put them out of business by being their competition two or three more times considering the previous companies continued to have ever increasing successes after I was told to hit the road.
IF bows were only designed every 4-5yrs., I'd agree with you. But, the bows everyone was raving about in 2007 are old news today. You think the guy who designed the 1st Chrysler minivan designed himself out of a job.....if he went to Toyota? The ability to introduce innovative (if they truly are) designs is a hot commodity in many markets. Bows are changing every year (or, they're introducing new models each season). I don't think the bows someone designed in 2005 are competing with the bows designed last year.
