Who's gonna be the first?
 

Who's gonna be the first archery company to be on a Nascar....car? I dont think is happend has it? This is the way i see it:

Chevrolet.... Jr. maybe?----Bowtech

Dodge...Who Cares?--------Hoyt

Ford....Who realy cares?----Matthews

Toyota...??-----------------PSE

Talking about supporting the archery world....Do you think it would help, hurt, or no effect?

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Bowtech Shooter (Pat) already said that Bowtech talked to one crew, the price is outrageous and it didn't happen.

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Bowtech sponsered a nascar truck for a few years...I don't know if they still are.

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Ouch! Lol


I'd say Bowtech, if any company, will be on a car first. I'd say it'd be a decent idea.Both sports,are based on the same "type" of people.

What I mean by that is that I'd be willing to bet that about %90 of Dale Sr.fans were hunters. Maybe more. ;)

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Just read that Rob, still a good what if....

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

to sponsor a Sprint Cup team for a season is (i think) anywhere from $1mil. to $10 mil. per season. i checked it is @10mil. a season.

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Nascar... [:'(]

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

if it happens i think it would be Mathews.

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Aww come on Dan your just upset there are no big tracks in the Pacific Northwest. LOL [8D]

If I remember correctly I think Mathews also sponsored a lower Nascar series car briefly or something like that, and I do remember about 3 yrs ago or so Bowtech was on one in the Truck Series

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Personally, I was wondering how long before one of the bow companies had their brand name dropped in a country song.

"Rollin down a backwoods Tennessee byway, one arm on the wheel...
holdin myFred Bearwith the other: a sweet, soft, southern thrill."

x2

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

If Bowtech didn't have so many "corporate staff" members, maybe they could afford a hood in the sprint cup:D

Damn, can I wait to post this until I'm done getting my bow tuned?

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

NASCAR isn't for everyone.

'Course.......neither is groundhog hunting.;)

On the surface.....boxing seems barbaric. It isn't called the "sweet science" for nothing, though.

NASCAR racing is a lot more than a series of left turns. It's a chess game on wheels.

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Matthews are the ones who like to spend money, I bet if anyone was going to do it they would be first in the Nextel series.

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Not sure who would be the first, Bowtech has the name on TIm Sylvia's shorts when he fights, and he fought Couture, that has Hoyt vs. Bowtech. Not sure about Nascar, they are SOexpensive. I wonder what people (quiksilver) would say if the price went up by $10 on the Bowtechs and they were on a Nascar hood!

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

It wouldn't be that bad as long as they told everybody that $10 went to nascar sponsorship.:D

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Yeah, I'm sure that would make it all better!

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Whatever company it is will be the first on my list never to buy a bow from again. All it will prove to me is that they're gouging us enough to be able to piss money away on racing. Got nothing against racing but nobody is going to tell you it's economical.

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Thats probably the best sentence in this thread. But happens all the time, did you quit buying Tide or Corn Flakes just because they are on a car?

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

They don't charge $800 for their product. ;)

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Zing Pow. Wash, Kodiak - glad to know I'm not the only one who shares those sentiments.

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

So the difference is the cost of the product and not the principle?

I think Manson is selling sef-portrait pencil sketches on index cards. $5 apiece. Get 'em while they're hot!

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

I wouldn't say that its not the principle, Jeff.

But in a way, when a product becomes so expensive that it isn't affordable for the average person, where do we draw the line? Especially when the (in this thread/example) the most recent price jump was so that a company could get their name on a car?

I realize that we all have the right to refuse to buy, I know. But if I like the product, could afford the product easily last year, and the price jumps up $50-100 the next year... Its going to make me want to not buy that product.

But, lets not get into this again. ;)I stayed out of the last one, so...

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Kinda funny how a thread NEVER stays on topic......

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Can I revoke my last e-mail where I said you were a smart guy??


And I suppose the drivers are "Athletes". ;)

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Probably the car was so slow everyone was catching it when they lapped it. Didn't quite go along with the "Catch us if you can" adds. LOL

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

At what we can afford???;)

Happens all the time. Our favorite vacation spot has gone up 80%/night since we started going there in 2004. But....they stay full. We booked this week for an October trip. When the demand falls.....so will the prices. See....we really can't expect for companies to sell us a product for a low price.....just because they CAN.

I'll refrain, too, Dan. Have a good weekend.;)

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Bob you never miss an opportunity to try and put words in my mouth. Why is that?:D

No. I don't consider them "athletes". "Athleticism" as an advantage? Sure. Who are you talking about, specifically? As I sit here....I'm having trouble recalling anyone like the Bakers and Pearson types in the "sport", today.

But....it's easy to make fun of something you know little or nothing about.;)

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Little or nothing about??? How did I get to work?? How will I get home?? and imagine this..somtimes I have to turn right. I may be over qualified!

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

HAH! :D

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Remember that next time someone watches a kid sit 200yds form a deer in a box blind (heated, of course)and shoot a 170" buck over a feeder on a 58deg. morning hunt (first day of).....inside a high fenceon TV......and asks you if that's the way you "Hunt".

It's hunting, right? That's what you do, right?

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Ouch! you guys are on a roll today!!

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Yes , whew finally we agree!

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

I swear that some of you guys would argue that black is white.

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Is not!

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

What color is white at night?

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Hold on there skippy, LOL I have worked the MI 400 for Cabelas when I worked for them. Nascar is a very diverse group. There is not one "type". My BIL work on a pit crew, and loves Nascar. Has not hunted a day in his life.

Most die hard fans are car guys. If your spending your extra cash on cars, you don't have any to hunt.;)

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

To hunt, or put into R&D where it belongs if you're a bow company... Exactly why I stand behind my original post that the first bow company to sponsor NASCAR becomes the first on my list not to buy from. (and for the record... no, I don't buy either Tide or Corn Flakes.)

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Toyota!?!?!?!? HARSH very HARSH:D

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

No Kodiak....but you probably drink a Pepsi...a Coke....a Budweiser...a Miller....Shop at Lowe's or Home Depot....Have a cell phone....etc...

I don't know why a bow company should be held to any different standardthan the aforementioned.

RE: Who's gonna be the first?
 

Actually, Black is not a color, it's a absence of light... yes the mighty buckmaster took 4 years of art in high school.:eek:
