The price of their top xbow went up $400 or so with no way for a person who just wants the xbow alone to obtain it without buying all the other items many of us already have. That's why. Wonder why this is a Tenpoint specific policy? Imagine if Mathews made people buy a package deal to get their top/new bow what the compound shooters would say?

Doegirl, there's nothing wrong with driving a BMW! BB, you have to take it as a package just like many other manufacuterers. In 1988 you could buy a M5 which had a hand built engine. You could have it in any configuration as long as it was black leather and solid black paint. No automatic transmisson no nothing else. BMW, GM, Ford, GM etc dictates what tires are put on the car so why can't 10 Point? Car manufacuterers will not use dupont paint when they use sikens so why the fuss? No offence everyone but there's a lot to do about nothing. If you don't like the deal then don't buy it. I will not buy it. I am also not put off about the price. Thats not to say I didn't raise an eye brow. I hunt with lots of guys that can afford anything including personal jets to take them to Europe but they still buy Excaliburs. But they might buy a Phantom if Ten Point's marketing is successful and thats what it's all about guys!

Maybe the price will drop a tad w/ all of this free advertising, lol. More power to 10 pt and whoever gets these jewels, I just don't have a niche it will fill. Gotta admit, no sleazy "Coming Soon" ad campaign, no Middleton Excal clone, [which nobody seems to have], just a high class offering from a high class company.

I think it'll turn out to be a flat awesome shootin' bow. The only thing that bums me out is the asking price. Perhaps AFTER I get out of RN school (now an LPN), this bow will be more feasible. And that's only a year away.
