I think all these rising prices of bows are bull ****. Thats why i have never bought a brand new bow. If i want current bow, i just buy my friends current year bow at the end of the season for half of what he paid for it so i can have me a new bow and he will go buy him the new latest and greatest bow out, and if i want a new bow the next year ill just buy his from him again. I mean hell 5 years ago i dont remember any bows costing $850,900, or 1600!!!!! Just my 2 cents
