It's all about the market in your area. My area has gone through phases.
80's - Bear, Pearson, Jennings, and PSE
90's - PSE, Pearson, High Country, Hoyt, Proline, and XI
2000's - Mathews, Hoyt, PSE, Bowtech, Parker, and Darton

It goes in cycles, Mathews was the biggie after the Q2's came out, Hoyt after the cam and a half, Bowtech's are hot now as well as a renewed interest in Darton and the new AR's are doing ok. We do have a loyal Parker following now and a couple of dealers sell Champions but they do not move a lot of volume.

It's really a buyers market, if a shop brings in Mathews & does good with them they will keep them. They may try some other brands but they often won't put the sales pitch behind a Champion or Parker as they would with Mathews, PSE, or Hoyt.

I have also noticed that shops that sell Mathews in my area can not move an AR but the shops that don't have Mathews can move them. The ones that have Martins do well but they also tend to carry a lot of hoyts since they will try to get the target crowd as well as the hunters. It's really kind of funny how it works out. The one given in my area is that PSE is always there, shops sell them and regionally they seem to do well. Go south a bit & you can not pick up a PSE because no one wants them. 50 miles south & it's all Mathews, Hoyt, Bear, and Bowtech.

I knwo people in Texas that use a lot of Diamonds but I have never seen a Diamond in any shop around my area or even int he states around me! The same with CSS, they are not that far away but no one sells them around here. They all make good bows but it's as if no one wants to take a chance on them!
