Being involved in archery I get to see a lot of the publications about the business such as Archery Trade magazine. Mathews presses the point that dealers can make more profit per bow than many of the other brands. Pretty much tells the story for me.
Then you get all the fanboys that think it's not only the best, but the only bow to shoot and you're something less than a man if you shoot something else.
Well, I'll tell you, IMO, there are many different brands and models made that will do the same job, but for hundreds less. Afterall, all a bow does is launch an arrow at a given velocity. The person behind the bow still has to do the shooting.
Buy and shoot what you like, but be courteous enough and respectful enough toward others and realize that not everybody has or prefers to drop nearly a grand for just a bow when $300 to $500 will suit their desires just as well.
