Alpine bows=bad?

I've been seeing some bad things about Alpine bows and I was wondering if they've had any problems. I did shoot one but it didnt have a stabalizer on it and there was a little bit of hand shock but not a huge amount. I'm just worried about down the road because there's a lot of bolts in it so I dont want them to come loose and cause shaking. I'm looking at the avalanche.

me and my buddys have been shooting alpine bows for a couple years. 2 of us switched from mathews mq32's as well.
1. 3 alpine micro's 1 is 3040pounds other is 40-50
2 impact extreme 70pound
3. stealth 70 pound
only problem we have had with any is my buddys daughters bow,1 of the screws in the cam loosened and fell out. had 1 made and been shootin the bow ever since.
for the money i love my alpine,you give up some luxeries of top end bows,but for us hunters there great for us.

Wouldnt worry to much about hand shock. Its normal. all bows have it. You want the bow to jump straight towards the target any ways. Alpine makes some nice bows. Shoot it !!!! Like it !!! Buy it !!!!
Good Luck !!!!!
