Aww shoot--I wasn't meaning to start a slamfest here. I admit, I do have a personal peeve with high-dollar bows, especially when I can find no reason for them to cost so much. Poor fellow like myself would be stuck with a hickory sapling if they were the only choice. I've yet to shoot a bow that, to me, was worth anywhere near $1,000 because they didn't shoot any better than those costing 1/2 as much or less.

The one exception I have seen (not shot) was a longbow that Mike Treadaway had at Cloverdale last year. That bow was, I believe, worth the $1,000 price tag. I have no idea how it shot, but it was truly a work of art--no telling how many hours he had invested in that bow. If I could have afforded it, I would have bought it to display--no way it would have ever gone to the woods........but then what good is it if you are afraid to use it/scuff it? Good thing I don't have a lot of money........
