First and foremost let me say that I put a great deal of value in these posts here and derive a solid dose of enjoyment. For the most part you are all great contributors to a great forum. That being said, What is going on here? It seems that most everyone uses Mathews, Bowtech, and Hoyt. I see those company logos all over the posts. Are these the only makers of "high end" bows around? I have no intentions of insulting anyone and I will be the first to admit that all 3 make great bows, but there are others out there that do a dang fine job too. This too me sounds like so much "easy" brand following instead of truly searching for the best bow. I am looking for a new long term bow, as such I am willing to spend as much as needed to get the bow for me. I have tried researching here, but no one seems to have anything but Mathews, Bowtech, and Hoyt. Where the heck is Champion, Pearson, Parker, Martin and numerous others? Are they gone? Are the owners of these great bows humbled? Does their Champion or Parker simple not measure up? Am I a lesser man for not holding one of the "big" three?
