Default RE: GUYS IVE GOT A REAL PROBLEM NEED YUR HELP

Unbunch your panties lungbuster. This aint my first time around this block.

I didn't put any words in your mouth nor did I say that you would take up the pro shops offer to let Mathews foot the bill for a dry fire.

You wrote that mathews was going to replace anything that was wrong with it. It's not going to go back to Mathews for repairs like Newman suggested. With about a 95% certainty I know exactly what the pro shop is going to tell Mathews so he can keep you a satisfied customer. He will simply call them up and tell them he as a warranty limb issue, give them your bows serial number, and get new limbs shipped to him. He will replace the limbs and string if needed and call you when it's ready. And when you come to pick it up from the pro shop and he tells you it's been covered under warranty and all you owe is $20 for his labor you won't think twice about it.

I hope that nothing is wrong with your bow in the first place but if there is I also hope that this scenario doesn't happen.

I happen to be in the gun and archery business and have to deal with this stuff all the time as do many others on this forum. We are also the 2nd largest Mathews dealer in the country so I get to piss more than a few careless customers off cause they don't get free limbs or a free cam after they dry fire a bow. Of course they go talk to the owner and he usually caves in and gives them what they want so they don't go whine to their buddies about how badly they were treated for something that was their own fault.


For you OHIOfan, I do pay for my repairs if I break it. I let my string slip from my fingers last year at about half draw and had to purchase a new set of cams and a new string and cables. The thought to ask for free replacement cams or come up with some crap story never crossed my mind. It was a $120 mistake and I paid for it. So yes, I guess I am "holier than thou (you)".

BOWFANATIC, even though it was a shot at me in your post you proved exactly my point. Yep, you'd be rich and if these people actually had to pay for repairs that were their own fault others wouldn't be complaining about the costs of bows as much.
