View Full Version : Breaking news! Mathews...
Dredly 11-20-2006, 12:17 PM Is being sued by Ertl! I just heard it on the news. Mathews and Ertl will be battaling over patent infringement. According to court documents the same limbs used on the Ertl FS-1000 bow are not being used on the new Mathews Drenalin!
This is very remininsant of the Elite vs Bowtech battle from last year.
If Ertl wins this lawsuit expect Mathews bows to rise quickly in price or be completely pulled off the shelves! This blow could set Mathews back YEARS in development.
Just to get an idea of the bows in question. Below is the FS-1000 and the Drenalin. Notice the similarity in the limbs.

Fine its the thread of the week.....and to think I was worried......
dodgensince74 11-20-2006, 12:53 PM good going, and I was thinking of buying one of those (FS-1000 ) but I will wait now:Cry: to see how the lawsuit turns out, they sometimes have away of back firing on the plaintives. I sure would hate to buy it and not be able to get parts for it:laugh:
BowhuntnHoosier 11-20-2006, 04:54 PM That FS-1000 is dead quiet and no hand shock at all but if I do get one think I'll go ahead and put an STS on it. No more bows I purchase will be without an STS.
Do you notice the hint of Hijacking here.:laugh: Lets talk STS for awhile.:hug:

ib4hoyt 11-20-2006, 07:27 PM Is it just me or is that grip a little slimer on that FS-1000:doh:
BUNNYMAN 11-20-2006, 07:29 PM stupid Mathews grips anyway....put a custome one on and be glad you did.....best move I have ever made......now I need to get one for my Switchback......
ib4hoyt 11-20-2006, 07:32 PM I hear that some tree huggers are after Mathews to cut down on there grips, lots of trees have died...:crazy:
BUNNYMAN 11-20-2006, 07:38 PM yeah they do use like a hole tree to make one grip I heard.....those stupid fat grips....
ib4hoyt 11-20-2006, 07:43 PM yeah they do use like a hole tree to make one grip I heard.....those stupid fat grips....
Its a shame i tell you..........No respect at all..:noidea:
BUNNYMAN 11-20-2006, 07:47 PM and to think if they slimmed them down like the new limbs they could maybe get like 2 out of one tree......:noidea: :biggrin1:
BowhuntnHoosier 11-21-2006, 06:47 AM STOP bashing Mathews grips I like them(big hands). :Cry: :Cry: They can grow more trees.:peace:

it would only take them five minuets to come up w/a better grip design.....it takes years to grow trees....think about it.....
