From an industry stand point the costs are the not issue. The issue is the industry model is a flawed one.
By effectively, changing models, almost yearly, despite the fact that incrementally, they are almost the exactly the same product the manufacturers devalues dealer inventory on a yearly basis.. What this does is allows two or three bigger players with liquidity and credit to maintain inventory ( sales ) through the entire model year. While the smaller shops must strangle inventory or risk losses due to the bow manufactures new releases.
If this wasn’t the case the market would be more competitive and consumer friendly.
