My mathews was acquired by an unpaid 600.00 dollar loan to a friend, the mathews and a browning bps 12 ga. ( his decision, not mine) I told him to keep his stuff and pay me when he got a chance but he insisted! The bowtech was given to me by a friend who gets a new one every year. Had none of that happened I would still be shooting my trusty, old ,round wheeled golden eagle! No way I will ever spend over 400.00 on a new bow. (Told ya I was cheap!LOL!) However the buddy that gave me the bow, put a used rem.700 22-250 on layaway last winter and I went in and paid it off without telling him.
