If I were the first to post after the original thread starter then the phrase...

"Do you feel better now?"...would seem most appropriate. But now.....

I, too, feel that many pieces of equipment in the outdoor sporting industry are overpriced...but then we keep buying them so we are not helping the situation any. And, what if a manufacturer decides to lower prices significantly in comparison to its competitors...then what? Then, many times, they are considered "junk" and the assumption is made that the company is now cutting corners and is not even worth the new "lowered" price.

Isn't it funny how people's perceptions work?

I hope you don't give up on Hoyt. They make a fine bow.
