Although I don't know the minimum pricing for the models, BT indeed does have a Suggested Retail Price , and a Minimum Retail Price. The minimum price is there to discourage those dealers who like price gouging bows just so they can make a sale. By setting a minimum each dealer is assured of making a good profit on each bow. IME dealers who like to lowball all the time will complain, but it's a very good way to insure quality dealers will continue to be in an area for years to come. This obviously benefits the manufacturers as well as the end user (us). Of course BowTech is not the only manufacturer to do this, many dealer only lines do.
