Default BOWTECH... NEVER AGAIN !!


14 march 2007[/b] bought an allegiance 2007.
On the day of purchased, me and the dealer noticed vibrations on the bow
Found the cams to be rubbing on the branches.
April 2nd[/b] send back the bow to Bowtech for exchange or repair.
Mai 14[/b] ( 7 weeks later) [/b]I call Bowtech to see if they sent the bow back, but refused to answer saying that consumers cant have access to that info ???
Mai 21 st[/b] (8 weeks later),[/b] I was p1ssed…Get to make a guy from Bowtech talk and I explain to him and the situation … long delay and explain to them that I am penalised for buying a bran new defective bow.
They respond, that they will replace everything on the bow except the riser, and send it back. And If I would want not to wait anymore, I[/b] would have to pay the express delivery…
June 6th [/b](10 weeks later)[/b] I send a 1 day delivery express post[/i] letter personally to The Vice president of sales of Bowtech. Mr Bob Dunn. On the letter, I explained it all, and asked him what he would do to make sure I (as a consumer get the quality product I expected to pay for and to end the delays !)
June 20th,[/b] (12 weeks later)[/b] I get my bow, BADELY REPAIRED with the cams so close that a piece of papercould hold between the cam and the branches. All they did was badely repair the cams. My dealer got charged 80 $ for the cams and they state a note saying that the bow and signs of dry fire ???!!!!!!!!!!! (probably a technician covering for his bad assembly mistakes.
Insulted, and betrayed, I call the Bowtech warranty department to get a explanation and they refuse to talk to me..
June 22nd, [/b]I shoot 12 arrows and notice the cams are leaning… That’s it for me ! Bowtech is over . Disgusted, I bring the bow back to the dealer for him to sell it used. I will probably loose half the money but at this point I would touch a Bowtech with a 100 foot pole.[/b]
I ordered a HOYT [/b]
To this Day, The Vice president of sales never answered the letter…It says a lot about a company when Senior management doesn’t care about their consumers….. (Let that one ponder for a minute…)[/b][/ul]

After 2 Bowtech’s, That’s the end of it …never again! Its all over the web forums, people are changing, limbs and are having problems with cams rubbing , limb torque etc… Bowtech doubled their expansion and cut their quality and service in half…Producing a lot of lemons….
Already a big buzz going around about their bad service and quality..
It’s a question of time before archers realize not to get caught up with marketing and go back to the basics of good quality bows like Hoyt and Mattews.. In all the tournaments, shooting ranges, dealers and archers I speak, everybody is refusing to follow Bowtech….

Thinking about buying a Bowtech ??? Beware, Check your cams, ..

To often we get stuck on a model and get tunnel vision by neglecting to properly try out and test other bows.
Stop and look around, read posts,specs, talk to archers, see who’s winning the tournaments, Look at what the champions are shooting and try other bows that are build on quality and reliability.
Make sure you buy quality get a Hoyt or a Mattews, (no one is complaining about them and the champions are all shooting withthem…
