Have to agree. If you look at them, everything is machined/molded so there is very minimal hand work done. I can't see how some of the prices today are justified, and it isn't just crossbows. $6.00 and up each for arrows, $7+ for a single broadhead. Then there is the $40k pickup truck, the $2k lease, it doesn't stop. The average guy might as well give up hunting as it is past being priced out of his range.
