Default What is the deal

I'm talking about the prices some bow manufacturers are charging for their products. A few years ago I came into a few bucks and splurged on a PSE DNA. Cost me $949. Now I know that the companies need to make a profit and also pay for their R&D but it's really getting ridiculous. I just looked at the Matthews NoCam but was immediately turned off when the price tag was $1099. And for a bow that has an IBO rating of up to 330 fps! The PSE Full Throttle has the same price tag. But even with an IBO rating of 360-370 fps its a tough nut to swallow. It wasn't too long ago that I paid less than $300 for a brand new Martin that had a 320 fps rating. I shot a lot of critters with that bow and later gave it to my cousin's son who continues to use it. Now since Martin was purchased by someone else, their bows are tipping the $1000 mark. Things are getting nuts.
