What is the most over priced bow out there. Not just cause price but because of how it shoots and handles.

Carbon Matrix 1600 bucks....

LOL! Yep, I'll have to agree the 1,600 bones they want for the Carbon Hoyt is a bit crazy!!! It's an awesome bow.... just not $1,600 worth of awesomeness!!!

yes that new Hoyt way over priced

As long as they are selling none of them are overpriced. But personally I agree, the Carbon Matrix is overpriced. But then again, they are selling.

The Carbon Matrix also wins the ugliest bow contest as well....PUKE!!!

What were they thinking when they made that thing!!??

Considering the technology that is in the Carbon Matrix, and how the thing feels at the shot- I don't think it's overpriced at all. This is not like anything ever done before-nothing like the old "carbon" bows from HCA filled with structural foam, or the equally craptacular model from PSE. Its totally new (and NOT cheap) technology for the archery industry. May not be worth the $ to everyone, but definitely not overpriced.

It IS pretty ugly- but I thought in person it looked much better than in the pics I've seen- the camo model in particular. After shooting it, I can get over the looks.

As for the original question- there are a number of companies who charge premium prices for not so premium materials and design.

Over priced? IMO, all of them. Bow prices have gotten so far out of hand in recent years. I'm sorry, but 800 dollars for a bow is ridiculous. Not long ago, I paid 575 for a new Hoyt Cybertec. Since then, they've gone up close to 40 per year. Now, we're at a point where 800 is acceptable. But, we keep buying them, so they'll keep raising the prices until they find the consumers breaking point.

Personally, I think the Mathews Z7 wins the ugly contest. It may be a sweet shooter, but boy is it fugly. And yes, $1600 for any bow is a friggen joke!
