I totally agree I will say that Mathews is a great bow tho I dont own one I have a couple of friends that do now they dont shoot any betyter than my Darton or several other bows that are on the market today. It is the man or woman behind the bow that counts. Yes Mathews could lower their price a lot if they would cut way back on the adds and I truly believe sell just as many bows.
I have been in archery since the early 60's and I realize one thing archery equipment is way over priced today to buy a top of the line bow,rest,sight,and arrows will easly set you back near 1000.00 if you dont believe it go price one now keep it until nest year and try to sell it and see what you get. Now same thing on a rifle buy a good one and put a good scope on it. Lets say spend 1000.00 on it all and in 10 years if you have taken good care of it you can still get near 1000.oo back for it yess something very very wrong here JMHO
