Ya know these things happen because we let them. I know the value of bows is an acute topic, however this is where is starts. Then is moves to the social security reform, taxes, levies, and all the other bull crap we put up with because we let it happen. If we were as a whole would just say STOP, THIS IS ENOUGH, it wouldnt happen anylonger. Will this happen? Most likely not, because there are THOSE people out there who will shell out money and get robbed on a consistent basis. I myself shoot a Darton Yukon, had this bow for years now, i dont fix anything that is not broken. I dont need or want a new bow, they can keep there pockets lined with greenbacks with all the suckers money wanting the illusion of what a new bow has to offer its all a fasad if you ask me. Just my Penny!!
