Why does Mathews feel the need to add weight to all of their bows? I understand the benefits to a target shooter or even a whitetail hunter walking a 1/4 mile to their stand. I, however, can easily put on 10 miles chasing mulies and elk. That extra 1/2 to 3/4 lb. DOES make a difference.

Mathews is supposed to be coming out with a new bow at the ATA called the "Classic". It's supposed to be an "improved" version of the MQ1. I have an MQ1 and LOVE it. If Mathews Classic adds more wieght to the MQ1 design, then no matter how good it shoots (which can't be much better than my MQ1) it will not interest me. There are other people to sell to other than the 3-d shooter and whitetail hunters. Us mountain dwellers need a LIGHTER bow!!!!
