Pro's need to make money. In archery there is three basic ways to accomplish that.
1) Win money shoots 2) Contingency money 3) Sell product companies give you
At that level both shooter and equipment need to be the very best to accomplish #1 & 2. #2 also needs to be a reasonable amount of money. Basically two companies pay high contingency money. I'll let you guess which they are.
The top 50 archers in the world could shoot any bow they please for the most part. There is a reason that the majority pick the bows they do. That is because they want and need the best equipment to compete at that level.
The companies that choose to sponsor these archers get something besides sales in return. They get feedback from the best of the best. Which is what keeps their bows at the top of the sales charts. As well as their bows and shooters on top of the podium.
What we the consumer get is that technology in our hunting and target bows. Sure it cost nothing is free.

I was a bowtech guy for yrs. Last yr decided I neeeded a new bow I'm a lefty so hard to find bows to shoot. Looked at rpm 360 almost bought one but heard they were not meeting their ibo speeds. Then looked at the new pse speed now then read about its rough draw cycle, vibrates in the hand etc and 5 plus in ch brace height was a big turn off. Read about obsession I said screw it and bought evolution and holy [bleep] the draw cycle on it is butter smooth has great valley. You can keep your Hoyt's, bowtech, pse etc.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Looks like they went all out on the Reaper! What does that one run? They really need someone to win some big shoots with that bow. Would be interesting to see if it would catch fire or not. Shoot thru, Martin X type cables w/ cable guards(?) interesting.

The Obsessions wont disappoint So if a guy was interested in an Obsession bow but there wasn't a dealer close can you hook a fella up and do the bow set up and all that jazz? Just curious, looking for new bow. I have a Mathews ZXT that I like but looking for another so I have a back up bow.

Your back-up bow should be the exact same set-up as your primary bow. I am sure some here will disagree. Unless you put just as much time into practicing with the back-up bow.

The backup to my compound is a longbow, or visa versa, depending on the day. I can see the logic in having identical equipment though.

I shoot compound fingers, release, and a long bow. But I also practice with all three a lot.

Fusion 6 is available for order now. But be aware, these are "custom bows". Each one built to order. There is a wait period involved. Right now expect 4 weeks minimum. You can visit our website at www.crossedarrowsarcheryllc.comfor more information. Unlike other manufacturers there is NO up charge for color options.
