It was a Longbow... IE traditional. Came in a really nice wooden case w/ a dozen cedar arrows all crested and fletched up. I don't know if those were optional or not.. looked like $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to me.. esp from Mathews.

Well, after all the rumors running around last summer that Mathews was working up a trad bow and the repeated denials, I AM freakin' astounded.[]
Sounds like Mathews finally made a bow I can shoot!

Found a couple of pics. That day were wearing Blue Shirts w/ Khaki Pants.
This is part of the Sales Booth. In the picture, Mike Allen is on the left. Pat is the guy with his hand resting on his chin (partially obscured by the dealer in the black jacket) And all the way in the back towards the left under the sign facing the camera with just his head exposed is Jerid Strasheim.
The next pic is the Shooting Booth
You can see the 3D deer I was talking about and directly to the right is Pro 38 Shooter. Just to the right of the lady in the red sweater is Vic (500 FPS) and you can See Matt facing away just to the right and behind him.

As I understand, Matthews is manufacturing a longbow under the Sky archery name. Of course sometimes I don't understand anything!!![8D]
Glad you fellows returned home safely and thanks for the reports. Rumor has it that I will be able to attend next year.....

I really hate to say it because I'm sure it will get someone going,,, but it needs to be said[&:]. Mathews has no "heritage" in tradional bow hunting gear I like the looks of the arrows though[8D]
