I have had no issues with the bow at all, other than the rubber short stop wearing out. but that was an easy replacement.

Personally I haven't had any issues, nor do I know of anyone that has one locally that has had any ?

For me, the bow shots well and I am really happy with it

I hunted Turkeys this Spring with my General and have shot it quite a bit. No Problems here!

None I know of locally either, and there are several General owners.

I looked over that thread and saw the pics of the kid holding the bow. You have to ask if he was shooting under 5gr per pound or doing something else that caused it. I know with my new bow that I am right at 5gr. with my light arrows and 28gr. over with the other arrows but there is no way I'm going lighter. When you consider how many people are on these forums it isn't like a few isolated cases are enough to render a bow bad. It appears to me that they are pretty anti Bowtech over there.

I've had one LH 60# model come back in with a cracked limb. Bowtech shipped replacements out and we had them within a week. Customer was taken care of quickly and is happy.

I sell them and shoot one myself and have had zero issues with them so far.
