MyArcheryHunt.com has had several sponsors signing on. As Pro-Staff we are to receive products from these sponsors, which is great, one of the sponsors is Pearson Bows and they are sending me a new bow in Oct. Which is great too, always love free stuff.
My question, I have worked long and hard to find a Bow setup that works great from me and I Love My Bowtech. I am obligated to shoot their bow and the rest of the equipment to come, but I feel my setup is far superior than the one I am going to get from the sponsors.
What would you guys do?
What do you know about Pearson Bows?
Honesty Please!

Honesty can be a double edge sword when it comes from me. ;D But..... In regards to the killing aspect of archery (broadhead) I have said (always) that I would never shoot anything that was less than the best....reguardless of how that decision effected relationships of mine. The bow (however) is different IMO. Any tuned bow will not effect the outcome for the animal and it's only effect (negative or positive) will be on me alone. While I cannot stand working on bows which require it, if need be, I can do it....for money  If I am not getting paid to shoot a bow which is less than perfect, I wont  It's just not worth it to me  Same goes for arrows and accessories. I cant speak to the Pearson quality anymore. I used to shoot them because they were a reasonably priced work horse that you could get alot out of when modified. Myself....I would keep an open mind, shoot it for awhile and make a decision based on truth to myself rather than obligation. JMO |

I knew I would get honest opinions here and that is why I asked. We don't even have a Pearson dealer around for me go and try. I will keep an open mind and will give it an honest try  |

2 of the guy's I work with shoot Pearson bows. They love them. We shoot 3D quite a bit together and their bows are quiet and shoot as fast as an others. I shoot a McPherson by Pearson myself and I love it. But I had an old Reflex so it was a big step up from that. But as far as Pearson goes, they are great bows. I would say with time in hand you would like it.

mtshooter here is my 2 Cents. Are they not giving this stuff to you so you can give them feedback? In my opinion give them back the information that applies to you as a shooter, good or bad and let them decide what to do with you. If you realy don't like the bow let them know, but tell them very specificly why and what you think needs to be changed to work for a person like you. When they get ready to send you the equipment tell them what you are shooting now and that you would like to get the closes setup to what you have but in there brand so you can compare apples to apples. Just my humble opinoin. Always be honest and help them improve there product. Or if you love it then let them know that too.  |

If you need them as a sponsor, lie like a dog and tell them what they want to hear or they will find someone who will.
If need be hunt with your Bowtech but post pics with the Pearson.
I have seen many hunts on film if you look close they use one type of BH and claim their sponsors head did the job, right or wrong it is a business and they need a pay check all so.
Do what you have to but you have to be able to live with your yourself.
If it is a bad product you don't want your reputation on the line for backing it ether, so it is a tough call.
This is a dog eat dog business and many pros have become sponsor Wh#$es just to get what they need whether the product is good or not and that personally drives me nuts.
I could go on but that is my 2 cents, sorry for being so blunt and good luck with your decision.

don't lie Let the chips fall where they lay. Be subjective and honest and realize that although a product may not be the 'best" it may have a niche. Define the niche. If it fits you great and if not ... fine too. |
