HMMMM, "some of us have too much free time on our hands, nothing more" With 1111 posts you must be retired!!! If I came on here and said that XYZ Archery dropped Mathews, Hoyt, Merlin or Martin and claimed "oh well, I shoot BowTechs anyway" I will guarantee that many would be all over me!!!! It's a given that this would happen on this or any other message board. Say something controversial and you ARE going to get many responses, it's just as simple as that IMO BowTech bows are at the top of the heap as far as quality and performance but in the past, many models had a stiff draw cycle. This trait will not sell to many that aren't dedicated shooters with years of archery muscle for drawing heavy bows. This could be the reason that any shop stopped carrying BowTech, beginners maybe couldn't draw them well enough. This new year is bringing new models from BowTech that will satisfy anyones requirements for the easy draw force curve they need for comfort. Those dealers that may have dropped BowTech becauce or stiff draw force curves might just be picking the line back up in the future
