I think every company has their problems, and I also think that just like in any "litter" there are runts! IE Last summer, KANS and I bought brand new ViperTec bows. I shot mine just fine, no problems whatsoever. BEAUTIFUL bow. however, after 10 (maybe a few less) shots, the bushing for the stabilizer fell out of his bow. the threads were stripped and the bushing had been haphazardly glued in. it was sent back, fixed and returned to him. Same bow, they said. Then he could not shoot the thing for anything! He was all over the place could not get consistent ANYTHING out of it. finally he returned it and bought a mathews, his fail-safe. We learned from the shop that another guy had bought the bow that my hubby returned, had the same consistency probs, and returned the bow once again. Obviously, this bow was a 'runt'!
