Default 82nd issues = not user error

As a some of you know, I've experienced a barrage of issues with my 82nd. Today was kind of a relief... I contacted Bowtech on Monday and spoke for a lengthy amount of time with them regarding my "issues." I explained everything I'd done and everything that was happening. He told me to take it to a retailer here in OKC that had some kind of Bowtech certification, meaning that they had been to Bowtech and attended classes regardingBowtech bows. I happen to know (pretty well) one of the guys that attended the classes. Upon his first draw of the bow, he looked at me out of the corner of his eye and snickered. His next phrase was "uh, this thing has problems. You better leave it here." So I left the bow with him and he called me back a couple hours later and said he checked everything (yes Germ, even the cam timing on a draw board) and had no solutions. He called Bowtech (first his Rep)and they told him to send the bow back.

I was pretty happy to know that it wasn't me, yetstill disappointed. While I was in there, I made a special Hoyt order...




























A Hoyt Katera, 29" draw with 70lb limbs .

I'm thinking about keeping the 82nd, if it gets fixed or replaced... but the more I read about people having similar issues, the less I'm impressed.

You're very right, apparently I'm prone to having problems when nobody else does. In all honesty, I really hope they fix it or replace it... I like the bow minus the headache.

So you're getting your problem resolved for the 82nd and are getting a new bow? That sounds like a pretty good deal to me! I hope you have better luck with the 82nd.
