I used to call the high countrys old man bows because i didnt know anyone under 60 who shot one. But lately alot of my friends were going to them and they have really got their act together. I know several people who shoot the Forerunner carbons with great success. I saw my buddy drop a doe in her tracks with a forerunner shooting like 295 fps. The only bad thing that i have seen with them is that i know a couple of guys who have had the camo paint chip off very easily. I would own one they seem to be good bows

Now this is only second hand info but my proshop owner here in town said in his opinion he thinks they are really nice bows, but he stopped carrying them because he had a hard time dealing with their service dept. Took way too long to get parts.

This is an interesting statement, how do you know they are not in the caliber of the big boys if you never shot one?
Didn't mean to offend you. Just giving my opinion. If they are on the same level as other bows, why do most dealers have a lot of trouble getting rid of them?

muzzy i dont mean to argue with you but i think the reason that they r hard to get rid of is because they dont advertise as much as the other brands and so people brush them off and dont try them as much as they do a hoyt mathews or a bowtech jmo

No arguing from me highcountry, just figured I'd get a little ribbing in. This kind of intrigues me to go to this shop that sells them and test drive one just to see for myself. I honestly never considered on. Seems I"m just kinda stuck on what shoots best for me right now. Maybe I need to just ship next year and start shooting other bows that fit my needs.

here we go again......more bows.

3 years ago... shot em all except for a Mathews. Bought the 4 Runner right when I tried it out. Love that bow. As for Mathews, I know that they make good bows just like everyone else, but I've heard so many guys talk about them like they are the best thing since slice bread. My opinion is that you can get a bow of equal or greater value for less money. Another thing is most of the guys I know who shoot Mathews always trade them in a season or two for the latest version. Whats up with that. Maybe Mathews should start a lease program.
