That looks more like a collector's item vs. something that you would hunt with. I agree that the prices are out of hand but that goes with hobbies. The initial startup costs are high but you don't have to get the latest and greatest every year. I do have 2 bows based on needing a backup on where I hunt but I don't feel the need to upgrade every year. I may change a component here or there and may cycle a bow every 4-5 years but am perfectly happy with the bows that I have. Hell, if the indians had the technology that we have today, we would all have different last names!
As with anything, I also understand that there is a price to pay for the technology. You're not just paying for the individual bow, you're paying for prototypes, facilities, utilities, multiple salaries, insurance, etc...
Nice set-up by the way...Mathews, QAD, and HHA. I like your style!
