new bow prices

[rage2blade]

What do you think the price of a new 09 matthews will sell for at the bow shops? I know the DXT is around 750 right now give or take some change or atleast last time i looked. so will the new 09 sell for 850 or possibly more do you think? And will the DXT go down more once the 09 comes out. Im not only in the market for a matthews i will choose whatever feels best but when i shot the DXT this past august i sure wanted to fork out the money for it!

There spendy, i have been looking for a new bow the past few years but sometimes its hard to sell something you have had so long, and want to spend way over $1000 for a new setup

Prices haven't really gone up that much...I bought a Switchback when they hit the shelves a few years ago and I paid $725. The DXT is the third upgrade since then. Basically same price.

Koonie oughta know whats new for 09.

I hear you mrklean i figured it will be a grand plus a couple hundred by the time im done this year so i want to make it worth it and do it right.So Koonie i know you prolly wont or cant say what the new 09 bow for matthews is going to be so i wont even ask haha but can you tell me how much they will sell for? or have a good idea.

[koonie]

Should stay in the $799 range.

I just can't believe what a bow costs these days. At least when you spend $1000 on a gun it retains a good portion of it's value. When you buy a bow it's worthless in about 6 years.

I agree bows are overpriced and you made a great point about them dropping in value compaired to a gun. I usually pic up a 2 or 3 year old bow for about half the price, then I will hunt with it until I get the itch to upgrade.

I really can't see the price of hunting bows going up much in the next few years. I HOPE! They are outrageous pricewise. If they go any higher I think they will be shooting themselves in the foot.
