    When did we all become such pretty boys that the look of our bows what the most important factor?

    If I am dropping that much money it better be appealing to me.

    It's not hard to make a decent looking bow but Matthews found a way to screw that up.

    Well I'm not the biggest fan of the look but I am in the market for a new bow and the thought of no cams maybe the best idea better but I'll Waite till I can go shoot them to see if I drop the money on one.

    I'm not a fan of the looks, but I didn't really like the looks of the creed when it first cam out but do now. That's no all that important though I'll wait to shoot one and really see it before make too much of a decision.

    Price tag is a little more bothersome than the looks.

    I like the HTR. They will sell a pile of those.
    I'm not sure why it's not faster?

    I will probably keep my Venture or get a one year old Chill X....however unlike most I can't judge these new bows with a freaking pictures or specs. Will have to handle and shoot before I can tell.

    I could care less what a bow looks like, is it comfortable and is the draw smooth with a good back wall...I ain't in this for looks or to have the cutest...oh I mean sexiest...bow in the woods.

    Speed isn't something I even worry about when selecting a bow anymore, every bow offered anymore is more than enough to get the job done.

    I might like the HTR...not sure. The rest though I don't see what they were thinking. Ugly, slow, heavy, and cost way to much. I was really looking forward to this release too. They might be great bows for their own reasons, Im sure they have something going on to justify the price and all. But I wouldn't shoot one. And Im curious what the HTR will cost in stores, because Im not paying $1100 that's for sure.

    The others cost more because they are target bows. Yeah I'm sure you can hunt with em but that's why they are designed that way. I'll never buy one when I can buy an elite synergy or e 35 for way less and it has a xfer able warranty... plus you can deal straight with manufacturer

    Yea can't say much before I shoot them and feel them out for myself...but here I was waiting for an awesome dual cam to be released and they release no cams! lol interesting!!! Not too fond of the looks, weight, and speeds though. HTR seems like the only one I would consider I think.

    Pretty sure it's crashed from the mass influx of traffic this morning. I guess their web developers didn't prepare as well as they should have. [​IMG]

    Dang for $1,800 i probably won't even bother trying one out. Wife would KILL me if I spent that on a bow. Much less a bare bow. Well all of this years bows will drop a little in price so next year I can upgrade to a 2014 Mathews model.
