RE: What is it with Mathews???
I think alot of it is that more prepy stuck up arrogant people shoot mathews. I shoot several different 3-D shoots and see alot of mathews bows being shot by alot of wanna be archers. I really have nothing against the bow itself, mainly alot of the shooters seem to think they are hot sh*t cause they shoot a mathews. Always cracks me up seeing them out there with their 3 foot stabilizer and magnified sights and they cant hold a candle to me with my hunting set up. Mathews is a good bow but it aint gonna make you a better shot. Shooting a mathews is like driving a BMW, there nice but they dont do anything a chevy or ford would do. I guess it seems to be more of an image thing, like I shoot a mathews so Im better than you.

That maybe true, I just commenting on what Ive noticed. Like I said I dont have a problem with the bow nor do I have a problem with people who shoot it. Im not sure what attitude you are refering to Preacher but I was just simply trying to explain why people seem to look at mathews that way. I suggest you not point fingers because its people like you who jump to conclusions so quick and get all deffensive that start the stereotyping of certain brand bows and there shooters, like mathews.

I have found that most pro shops are like that,you can go to 5 different shops and get 5 different sale piches.they will try to tell you what they sell is the best on the market and that and what everyone else has is junk.To a ps dealer theirs are the best bar none.I have used all the major brands except hoyt over the years and trully all of themwere great bows at the time.I just swicthed to a bowtech commander and luv it,but 20 years ago I loved my pse,then my mathews"which i still haveby the way" It is all about selling their product that they stock,if they changedealer they change the way they think thats all its about $$$$$$$

Does it really matter what kind of a bow you shoot. I shoot a Diamond Liberty, I don't care. I would of bought anything that I liked that was in my price range. If you shoot a Matthews good. If you shoot anything else good. who cares. Just shoot and have fun with it. If some guy disses the bow you shoot who cares, let him shoot it and see what he thinks. If he still doesn't like it, oh well you don't have to hate the guy because he doesn't like your bow.
