Mathews sales rose 2600% from 1995 to 1999.

If you know anything about business, you will know 2 things:

2. A company will never have phenomenal growth without an excellent product.

Mathews Bows are worth every penny they charge.

As a matter of prudence, you might consider this...in 5 years Mathews will almost certainly be a bigger company. Some of the others are clearly losing market share and therefore, may be gone in 5 years. Makes it kinda tough to get parts or service if the company that makes your bow is out of business.
