I don't know 'bout the rest of you guys, but I can't afforda bow that only has a lifetime of 3000 shots, or even 5000 shots. At a 3000 shot lifetime I'd be replacing my limbs and/or bow everycouple ofmonths (cha-ching). 3000 shots is just over 8 shots a day,every day for 1 year. I'm sure most of us on averageshoot more than 8 shots per day. If a pro-shop told me this I'd find a new pro-shop.
