Default RE: GOOD PRODUCT OR GOOD PROFIT?

Coming from a logistics background, I can tell you that it's quite expensive to tool up for a new product. The product itself may not cost that much to manufacture per unit, but the concept exploration, alternatives, prototypes, low-rate production for testing, and the machinery necessary for full production can be quite expensive. So when you pay for the bow, you're not just paying for the material, you're paying for all the work, engineering and tooling. After the companies recoup that money, it's all profit after that. I believe they're making plenty.
