Derek- was yours in Brush camo??
As far as the General- I missed all the drama about the limb recall (barring places like AT, where you OD on drama each and every day). I have put a few arrows through an updated limb model. Frankly I was amazed- I cannot recall EVER hearing such a silent bow- and the bow absolutely does not move, jump or vibrate. I thought the Admiral was top notch, but the General is even better in those aspects (its quite a bit slower though of course). My shop owner friend felt the limb issues (on AT and elesehwere) were completely exaggerated- they had sold a ton of Generals with no issues whatsoever. He did say the recall pretty much killed their Bowtech sales for the remainder of the year. Alos, they were not happy in the extreme with the way Bowtech handled the issue on the dealer side of things, but thats another thread.
Mine was in Max-4. It was the sickest lookin bow ive ever seen imho! I absolutely loved how it handled adn really... everything about it. I hate to say it, but i really liked the general more than the admiral. I was gonna get a captain, but then got an AM35 instead b/c i thought it balanced better than either of those.
all of the drama...
I shot mine for over 3 months after i found out about the recall lol and never had a single issue. I probably shot mine 3000 times (if not more lol) after i found out about it. It was right around 3d/hunting season and i was burnin the targets up. Since it was in max-4 i had to wait a super long time until my updates came in
so i refused to wait.
Dont get me wrong though, it really lingered in my mind quite a bit... you know the "I wonder what my cam hitting me in the top of my head would feel like" thought lol! It was a great bow, and i never had an issue.
