Jeff W--
You are absolutely right, and I agree with you 100%.
I don't care what anyone shoots, as long as they enjoy it! A $50 garage sale bow, in good shape, will provide as much enjoyment as anything else!
I'll put my $320 WARF up against pretty much anything, but NOT for looks...LOL!!
But if I'm having a truly frank discussion with someone, and they are looking long and hard at that $1300 brand new takedown Bear, and ask for some input, I'll recommend a half dozen other bows in a heartbeat....
