bow comparison argument at work

[struttinhoyt]

What it all boils down to is the shooter.... More than likely on every occasion if a bow is setup properly it will shoot better than the ability of the shooter any, and every day of the week....

But what makes a bow to me is How it draws, How it feels in my hand, and What it does and how quiet it is when the bow goes off....

Tell him to go buy a $200 bow and shoot it next to a hoyt or a mathews and see how well his $200 bow preforms...

You get what you pay for.... (on most occasions.... Except for paying $2100 for the exotic Mathews)

this is the base of the arguement. hit the nail on the head. like ive said before im NOT talkin about if you can kill with the bow im talkint about the qualities of the bow. but yea i wouldnt drop 2k on a bow or even 1500 for a hoyt carbon matrix. those prices are just for a fancy new design

yea i would not spend that much ethier i will spend up to 800 for one or mybe little more

I've been in the aerospace manufacturing business for a little while now and when I look at a bow I immediately recognize what standards it's made to. It is expensive to make a high quality bow that will last for years with little trouble to the owner. Some of the expensive ones are not worth the money for sure when you look closely at them. Replacing string/cable sets every few months if you shoot lots can exceed the cost of the bow in a few years. Some of my favorite bows have gone 8,000 to 10,000 shots on a string/cable set. Others ate them much sooner. A cheap bow will shoot well usually, (the best Field Hunter score I ever shot was with a Martin) but for how long? Hoyt, Mathews, the old Ross bows and the new G-5 bows are my favorites so far. Expensive but bulletproof so far.
