    Black Tactical: $999
    Black and Crimson: $999

    I think it depends greatly on your retailer. I've seen prices vary up to $150 from different locations across the country.

    Plenty of other good bows out there that don't cost that much! Don't get me wrong, I have a ZXT and love it but also love my Bowtech Carbon Knight which cost a LOT less than a Mathews and is just as great quality!

    I agree, it's getting like motorcycles...you're paying for the name above all else. Which is why I'm a fan of ignoring anyone who is brand loyal to the point of writing off other brands of bows. Me personally my cheap Mission Venture is performing just fine...and last time I checked it flings my set up just fine....

    I love my Venture too! And to be honest it still wasn't cheap for me. Being a poor college student this is actually a top end bow for me. A huge jump from my PSE Marauder. One thing I do wonder is how fast it shoots. I never had it chrono'd.

    Anyone ever figured out why camo costs less then a solid color like black or desert tan? :dan: You would think the process to camo a bow would cost more.....

    I completely hear you! I could afford it but man it was tough doing it...anything that is getting into the hundreds always makes me think two or three times about.

    My pro-shop guy said he feels it's actually probably due to demand, he gets probably 4 guys to every 1 preferring camo.

    I agree. I would guess (and only a guess), that when it is color they consider it a "specialty color" even though it's not and probably costs the same, they feel they can charge more. IMO it's probably like a car.

    I was actually looking over the Riot and the Ballistic. Two bows that came out after the Venture. And honestly I still believe that the Venture is better. If you look at the specs they are all similar and the Venture has better features. The features I like is the roller guard, string suppressors, and the deadend stop. It also has a longer brace height and is more compact A2A. I think the Venture is a dynamite bow!

    Not trying to beat on mathews but we already had a creed Xs come back because of a broken plastic bushing. Something I wasn't a fan of them doing from the start. Just thought I would share with those who are thinking about getting the Creed Xs.

    I guess I just don't under stand why they went to plastic bushings? I thought what they did with last years creed was a good design.
