Post by: MuleySniper on September 23, 2010, 09:56:31 PM: Seems like manufactures MSRP's never end up as much when they end up in stores. Still, over a grand for any bare bow is ridiculous.

Post by: Jellymon on September 23, 2010, 09:57:40 PM: thier dual cam bows are built under the Mcpherson name and the single cams are mathews. Mathews is trying to catch bowtech if they can. :chuckle:

Post by: mtbiker on September 24, 2010, 08:11:35 PM: Dumb. I shot the Carbon Matrix and didn't even think it was worth a standard high-end bow price in the $900 range. Oh well, if you've got money to burn, there ya go.

if it did it wouldn't be legal to hunt with would most likely have a battery of some kind

Post by: Tony 270 on October 08, 2010, 10:22:47 PM: $2100 for a bow??? :o Thats just crazy.

I know a guy who has the Carbon Matrix and what does he take out for hunting??? Not it, he takes the Afterburner (or whatever it's called).

Post by: pips4bucks on October 14, 2010, 09:24:18 AM: Probably won't be seein' a lot of those at the local 3D shoots...

The archery industry is really getting out of control. Does spending $2100 or even $1000 on a bare bow really make you a better shooter? I think not. Quality equipment is important but this is absolutely stupid.

When Octane came out with their quivers for over $100 I was amazed. Come on, all it does is hold your arrows! I think they spent waaaay too much on the fancy packaging.

On the flip side, if people are willing to fork out that kind of money, more power to them. I just think you can get a quality set up for less money that will do a more than adequate job. I'll just remind them that I beat them with my less expensive bow at the 3D shoot. :chuckle:

Post by: Jellymon on October 14, 2010, 10:44:35 AM: My brother won the first flight in a 3d shoot with a stripped down Wal-mart bow! I think bear made it, but there wasnt even a brand name on it! He has a real bow now though, the other started falling apart on him.
