RE: Catch Us If You Can
I shot the drenalin. It was a nice bow but I felt that I was Paying about $500 for the bow and $150 for the name. When I went shopping for a new bow I was convinced that I would buy a drenalin. After shooting a lot of bows I came to the conclusion that there were other bows out there that shot just as nice for a lot less money.

Nope, "catch us if you can" is definetly out of date. They have been caught and passed IMHO.
Swamp,read some of yoru talk about thetidewater and the Rappahannock riverand all. I use to frequent Green Topsome years ago (they always did have high prices). My wife was born and raised in Fredericksburg.

As a former Mathews HATER, I find it funny this subject is coming up now. IMO Mathews made there name on great advertising and paying tons for tons shooters to shoot their equipment. However, I think Mathews has improved on their bows so much in the last two years. They were never known to be quick, but my buddy is shooting a DXT with a 28 DL at 299fps, still super smooth and very quiet. What more could you ask for? Are they the best bow on the market, I don't think so. Are the one of the best bows on the market? Without a doubt.

Hey guys........it's just a slogan.
I don't think they were ever "out in front", it's just another advertising ploy that I guess worked pretty good because it's got a bunch of grown men debating whether or not their "still out front" or not.[&:]
Truth be told they're great bows asis BowTech, Hoyt, Bear, Browning, etc....I guess some folks justfeel the need to say "I shoot the best bow in the world" I could care less either way...slogan or not.
I must say though....it makes for interesting reading.
