Is it wrong to come to Elite forum and mention another bow?

[Rather B. Hunting]

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming:

I used to think Mathews was the only brand of bow on the planet. I had heard of Hoyt and Bowtech and all, but thought anybody who shot anything other than a Matty was an idiot. Then I joined the Mathews forum and saw guys raving about the Ross. I blasted them, how could you come on "our" forum and talk about this...this...this... Ross, whatever that is? Then I shot a CR331 at Lancaster just because I heard so much about them on the forum and it was love at first shot! I couldn't sell my DXT fast enough! So I started collecting Ross's, two 331's and a 337. Now I've discovered Elite, also from the Mathews forum, and feel I've found two manufacturers that I prefer over Mathews.

Moral of the story: I think it's bad business to allow positive reviews of competitor's products because nitwits like me are very easily swayed.

So go ahead Elite Forum, tell me about a single cam that beats the Aigil, I double dog dare ya!

If I did have other bows than Elites (I do), I don't think it's ok to come here and rave about them. Just not the place for it. I like Elite and their personnel, and they have my respect.

On another note, when I read this thread from the OP I nearly fell outta my chair laughing!!! Sorry if you don't see the humor in that, but it's amazing that people don't think we read and remember things posted at other times here.

Agreed...but the man does have a scrotum tobacco pouch.

Alright guys..Lets keep it respectful and on topic.

It's a crime against humanity to speak of anything other than Elite!!!!!

Agreed, but I,m not Pete, or a mod....

I was a member of another brand specific forum for years. At one time, it was pretty open, but a few people took it too far promoting competitors products and now its pretty well censored. Lesson to be learned for this place, cause I applaud just how much the mods let things flow here.

This forum is really loose compared to other manufactures. Back in 2005-06 I posted a question in the Mathews forum about my SBXT wearing the serving out where the cam rolled over. I wanted to know what I could do to help it last longer. Instead of getting help the thread was deleted. Then I posted about my center shot being off, again deleted. Meanwhile here the owner of the company would see my problem and would help me out.

My personal feeling is if a thread is comparing an Elite to another brand, that is fine. I think when a thread is asking for opinions on another manufacturer, that is taking it too far. This is the most tolerant manufacturer forum by far.
