What is the "margin" on a bow. I mean that business wise. How much does it cost to make one, in production?
I think I'd hate to know!
I have ZERO idea. I'll guess in the $100 range.

I will say much higher than $100.Actually MUCH higher
Machining cost are high as well as materials.
I KNOW that companies get a much better rate on materials than we do but just for giggles,go try and figure what materials alone would cost for a bow for YOU to buy.

I used the wrong terminology! Man, I'm on my game tonight! 
Margin meaning how much they actually MAKE on the bow.
I do wonder what the TOTAL COST would be of a single bow.
Some accounting facts from a kid that has an accounting test tomorrow morning!
