Now here is a mature comment, LOL

Lets not forget WHO change the industry. Hoyt, Bowtech, ROSS are all better because of MAthews. Mathews pushed the envelope for many years.

Like Motown I have put a lot of bone and meat in my freezer with my MQ1. I really like bowtech's new line, but without Mathews I doubt Bowtech would be as good as they are today.

Mathews has done a ton for the hunting industry and that demands respect

Oh lord!!!! Imagine this. Another Mathews fanboy from WV. For you guys that are not from WV, I swear I think that is the only brand they sale in my home state. I had to move to IL before I even knew there were other brands available. LOL!!!

try being from Minnesota, real close to Wisconsin where they are made.

i have had a few bows over the last 12 years of my hunting career and mathews without a doubt takes the cake. i started with 2 jennings bows(micro carbon extreme and the buckmaster), then i began to look for a new bow and shot high country, bowtech, hoyt, pse and then mathews and fell in love with the Q2! i then upgraded a couple years later to the switchback, which is what i currently tote. i plan on shooting the new bowtechs, dont like the new hoyts, but i just haven't been able to find anything as nice as the mathews line, you can feel the perfection of the bow as you release the arrow! very smooth and unmatched, i have never liked the recoil involved with a bowtech but some claim they have a more forgiving bow so i suppose i will shoot one to see whether or not the claims add up! But as with many of my hunting buddies and i......mathews is the best!

GOHERD am I going to have to make a call and have a WV trooper looking for you the next time you come to WV....

LOL!!! You just may. Hell, he would probably walk up to my driver side window with a drawn mathews instead of a pistol.

So much loyalty on display..... This topic pops up every 2 weeks and the same Mathews guys find their way to defend a company that won't even take part in the ATA show.......AGAIN.

Could someone explain why Mathews doesn't attend this show? Do they not want to offer any discounts to dealers? Is it that they don't want to spend the money? Is it Arrogance?

Someone must know.

PABuck Matt decided to put his money to better use by putting $250,000.00 into the NASP and if I'm not wrong will do so again this year.

GOHERD: Mathews bows are standard police issue here in WV....

I was wondering when they were gonna be made standard issues. I didn't know they already had. Must have been after I moved away in 2003![8D]

Gutshot is exactly right. They took the$250,000 they normally spent on this show and put it into thefuture of this sport by helping toget archery back into the school systems through NASP.
