| The archery world is one of the most horrible I have worked in. I worked in the Apple computer industry for over a decade here and all the dealers got along, mostly because you never knew which dealer you would be working for next year.
The archery world is nasty. Our shop has had nothing to do with many of our cometitors, yet 2 feel the need to bad mouth us constantly to customers and suppliers. Gladly we work closely with a number of other dealers and are happy with that, these ones decided to bad mouth us from the start. Ironically had they approached us as wholesale customers I would have said yes.
Anyway, that's archery. Yes Bowtech are this year's smear company, just like Mathews use to be and I'm sure just about every other company has been. Regardless of the dirt they are selling a ton of bows and their shooters are winning with them.
You will find only one company pathetic enough to publicly spread nasty stuff about others, and they don't even have bows yet.
Most of the actual companies have good respect for each other.
My wife just won our state target with her Allegiance, and Bowtech was the most popular bow at the event. Impressive given our small state also has Hoyt and PSE dealers.
Competition is tough in our state with trends and winners dictating the market. For example at my club 5 years ago it was Mathews and Jenning, in 03/04 it was Hoyt everywhere, now everyone is buying Bowtechs.
