Mathews Safari

So who is gonna be the first to buy this honeycomb marvel? For $2100.00 you can be on the cutting edge of hunting technology

I don't know but those new Mathews bows with the "honeycomb" look sure are ugly. I don't care bow good they shoot....

 

i shoot them and i think they are ugly i dont know if i will be getting the safari

 

WOW what is a different looking bow

 

$2,100?????????????

 

You would be at over $2500.00 with all the fixins.

 

I'm confused on this one.Yes,the machine time is higher than normal so naturally,a little higher cost is in order.Maybe there is something that I/we are missing.It is a small run as most don't buy high poundage bows like the Safari editions provide so that also yields higher cost.


I understand Hoyt's extra cost of the Matrix,atleast it is something that had never been done(no,other carbon bows are not even close to the same)New technology coupled with limited run and this drives cost up.


Mathews did the exact same thing when Hoyt came out with their Elite series and had an msrp of $1200. The next year they had a bow that exceeded that.


I like the looks of the honeycomb shape better than the waffle iron look.

 

Ok ill bite. why would a company tool up to produce a bow that will only sell a handfull of bows.. kind of like a certain carbon bow that is sitting on shelves
around my area.and sitting and sitting

these people are going to price themselves out of a ever shrinking market.
anyone want to buy a z7 black 30/70 ?

 

That carbon bow is flying off shelves in the rest of the country,but not at 1600.

 

We have a shop in our area that has sold 17, with 7 being left handed.

 

But as I have seen elsewhere,this safari bow kinda looks more like a collectors edition with the exotic wood side plates and such.It really isn't geared toward the "average" hunter.It is geared toward the exotic hunter that hunts rhinos and elephants and the like.Those guys typically have a little more to spend and like this kind of stuff so if they like it/want it and are willing to pay for it,more power to them.

 

Can you say -Price yourself out of the market? Looks like they're on the way.I'm a mathews shooter but I don't think so.

 

My last Mathews was the original Switchback. I haven't upgraded since and don't plan on it for awhile.

I will say, Mathews better find a sexier design then the honeycomb crap they have now or I'll be buying an Elite next.

 

OMG $2100 are you kiddin' me? Some doctor, lawyer, or rich city boy bowhunting wanna be will buy em all. I wish I hadn't open this post. It's got me pissed off. LOL

 

Yea 2100 is ridiculous but Mathews knows people will buy it
