Once you have a Mathews you will never own another bow. They may cost a little more up front but just look at how much they sell for on eBay when you decide you want to get another.
I see this a lot. I am in the market for a new bow and everyone keeps telling me how great Mathews are despite the overhead...then it is always followed up with a resale value. I want a bow that I will shoot for years, not a season. I want time tested gear...not something I can get a good $ for in a year.
TimDevlin, I usually keep my bows for 3-5 years so I wouldn't assume like you have, that I'm refering to getting a new one every season. My first bow was a Z-Max. Fast Bow. I bought it used and kept it for 3 years and sold it on eBay for $450 and bought a new Q2 for $650. Do you know of any 4 year old bows that you can get that kind of resale on. Please do tell!
