mainebuck Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 probably because Mathews gave them free bows, just a guess. If I recall they were shooting Fred Bear bows previously. Since Escalade took over they probably heard about the bad customer service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Re: why did bill jordan and blanton switch to mathews Because they wanted to be second class citizens maybe? lol. j/k.

camelNS Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Re: why did bill jordan and blanton switch to mathews Micheal Waddel shoots Hoyts on Roadtrips,they are a sponsor and real fine bows,and Blanton and Jordan have shot Fred Bear bows.Maybe it has to do with sponsorship,Matthews does make a quality bow,they also love to throw sponsorship to anyone and everyone.In case anyone hasn't noticed.LOL.

Rhino Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Re: why did bill jordan and blanton switch to mathews [ QUOTE ] Also i remember will primos bein in the older movies, why did he leave realtree. [/ QUOTE ] I think Will Primos was only in RT videos for 1 season. Will, Ronnie "Cuz" Strickland and Toxy Haas (MossyOak) were big buds before Toxy started his own Mega Bucks video productions. Before that Toxy was a Primos sponser and he and Cuz were on all their Truth series videos. For whatever reason they had a falling out for a year or so when Toxy started his video productions and then they kissed and made up I guess. Now MossyOak is a sponser for Primos and vice versa.

Chrud Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Re: why did bill jordan and blanton switch to mathews They shot Bear. Waddell shot Hoyt. Jordan and Blanton never shot Hoyt's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Re: why did bill jordan and blanton switch to mathews I think they've been shooting Legacy's the last couple years. I think the switch had more to do than the sponsorship and money they get for the show. Realtree's "partner" type shows (ie Advantage Adventures w/ Tom Miranda, Realtree's Whitetail Country, Realtree/Whitewater Just Huntin') all use similar sponsors, including Mathews. Most shows sponsored by Mathews (ie NAW TV, HS Outdoors) are sponsored by Realtree also. One big happy hunting family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snapper Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Re: why did bill jordan and blanton switch to mathews Did you all ever think that maybe they are sending everyone a message? If your good enough and practice, you can kill a deer with all kinds of equipment. These guys and other "pro's" can kill a deer with any bow no matter who makes it...and you know what....so could you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colescott1 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Re: why did bill jordan and blanton switch to math Also a good marketing tool for all the bow companies. As you can tell from reading here a lot, the biggest names in bow hunting have a following....and a lot of times the viewer will go out and buy whatever bow their favorite is shooting. So, Matthews gets the nod to get everyone to give up their Hoyt for a year or two, then bam. Hoyt's are not, so they run out to match Waddells new Hoyt. Then after a year, maybe its PSE... Just another tactic to make a new bow purchase that much more tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EIGHTPOINT Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Re: why did bill jordan and blanton switch to mathews Maybe they are just like all of us and shoot different bows based on what is the hottest or newest item out there. Can't argue with the Mathews decision though. I recently became a Mathews owner after owning just High Countrys . Mathews makes a fine bow.

Chrud Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Re: why did bill jordan and blanton switch to mathews [ QUOTE ] In the last monster bucks video is saw, Dave was shooting the legacy and Bill was shooting the LX. I hope that this year waddell switches to mathews. Then all my boys would be shooting the best of the best. [/ QUOTE ] I'm not real worried who shoots what on TV. Afterall, they aren't shooting Switchback's yet, I don't think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kat Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Re: why did bill jordan and blanton switch to mathews I found it kind of funny that they quit shooting their own bows made for their company by fred bear lol. Looks kind of bad when Realtree doesn't shoot the Team Realtree line of bows lol. Oh well like the others said, $$$$$ talks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Re: why did bill jordan and blanton switch to mathews Isn't Fred Bear kind of going down the drain though? I know they started making some MO bows. I'm sure there is more to it than we see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
