Default Bow Hunter Observation.

I find it intresting that if you own bow at the top of the line you are either praised or booed. Meaning people will come out of nowhere to tell you "WOW that is a awesome bow you are shooting". Or they say "man for the money you spent on that bow, you could have bought a brand X, I am shooting brandX and I have shot your bow and my brand X is so much better". To prove my point, just look at the on going debate with BowTech and Mathews here in the bow forum. Both IMO are very good top of the line bows and a new bow owner can't go wrong with buying either. But yet some hunters seem to think that unless you shoot a BowTech or a Mathews then you are just missing out on the ULTIMATE BOW by not owning and shooting the other brand. I have even heard more than once in different pro-shops hunters say, "well we don't let anyone shooting of those XBrand bows into are camp"! Some I knew were joking, and others I wasn't quite sure because of the level of seriousness. Either way I find it funny. Then if we look at the other end of the spectrucm at the lower end bows us hunters have nothing but praise. If a bowhunter only has a little bit of money to spend, they buy a lesser brand than the Top of the line brand X bows. Or they buy a less expensive bow in the brandX line or a package bow out of a catalog such as Cabelas, or Bass Pro. Then we fellow hunters always say "Wow that's a awesome bow for the money and you'll realy like it becasue its a sweet shooter, and it only costs $200 to $300 or so and that such a great deal". You all know what I mean, it happens all the time! I am not saying it is wrong with it either. All I am saying is that in my personal observation I just find it funny and interesting. How about you?
