Yep, mine is wearing, and its wearing much faster than my 06 Old Glory. I had the Old Glory two full seasons and it had less than half the wear that my 82nd does, and my 82nd is only about 9 months old![:-]

I heard that they had a particular problem with the black. thats why my 101st is in the standard finish not invelve. my general was invelvet adn it never had an issue of peeling. i will say that the 101st is definately colder than teh invelvet finish. i kinda thought it was just a gimmick when i first read about it but it really helps keep it from being as cold during hunts.

Nope.

Mine's sitting right here beside me.....and I just gave it a quick once-over. It's fine (and I'm not easy on my equipment).

Getting ready to go on my 76th hunt (this season).....with no finish issues. Mine is the Max-4 pattern.

mine is coming off were I hang it on the tree, but it is just a branch I cut so it would do it on any bow IMO.
I love how it is not as cold as my older bow's

Mine isnt in too good of shape either, but as far as I know, the finish isnt covered by warrunty.

When NWH took my invelvet offto dip one ofmy 82nd's in Predator, Scott said it was the toughest finish he had ever stripped off. None of my bows that have it are showing any wear.

I hunted everyday of PA's early season except three. I have a 101 in Max 4, no problems here, she's still a beauty.
