Default RE: 2008 Bowtech General

I was shooting 80 yards with my General and hitting the block. Not dead center but but not far off either. It was the shooter, NOT the bow. At 40 and 60 yards it was on; but 80 yards out..... without a magnifyer on my HHA scope I thought I was doing pretty good doing what I was doing. I think the General is an awsome bow!

Default RE: 2008 Bowtech General

Can't say I'm 100% happy with my General. I have 2 problems with it.

#1. On my bottom cam, there is a "loose" washer that rattles something fierce. Bugs the ever livin.....out of me.

#2. My string will bounce out of the string suppressor and click against the plastic housing.....making noise.

I called Bowtech and they said that possibly my cams out out of tune (on a new friggin bow) regarding the string/suppressor issue and that my bowshop should be able to fix the loose washer/rattle issue.

Other than those 2 things, it shoots fine. At this point, I'm starting to wish I had gone with the Diamond Marquis.
