re: Bow setup

Pse if you want the best
Matthews if you dont mind poor quality

If you'll look back I agreed that they're all good these days. To say they wouldn't sell a bow I find completely laughable. Do you not have a favorite gun maker? Same damn thing. People get use to reliability and performance and stuck with what works.

That's what I meant by fan-boy. I guess it wasn't the right term. If everybody approached buying a bow with absolutely no pre-formed opinion, they wouldn't buy a mathews. There just isn't that much noticeable difference between them and bows that cost much less.

I'm sure that if you hooked them up to a vibration machine or something you would be able to tell some differences. I have no doubt they have smoother draws and less shock, my hands just can't feel it.

What, do you have feeling in your arms? Last time I shot a diff bow other than a Mathews it almost jumped out of my hand because I was holding it the same as I do mine. An open grip.
Haven't shot anything other than a Mathews since last year.

You can shoot any modern bow with an open grip. That's how I shoot everything.

By all means buy one if you can afford it. I'll just never own one unless they make their prices competitive with what else is on the market. For a 2012 bow you cannot beat a bear IMO.
