I agree. I bet noone that was bashing you would have bought it either.
I agree 100%.
I think that some people on here are confusing "brand loyality" to COMMON SENSE!!!
If ANYONE would go into ANY kind of shop, archery, gun, car, or whatever and buy a product that was of lesser "quality" than they wanted and was told the product was....and they still buy it JUST because it is a certain brand name.......talk about being a confused person. Just like the other thread "bowtech no more" (or whatever it is) The same people who bashed that guy for walking out of the shop with a "Bad" bow is bashing this guy for NOT walking out of the shop with a bow of lesser quality than he wanted.
I noticed how the topic got turned into a "BowTech Problem". Maybe I need to read the orginal post again, but I don't remember him saying anything bad about BowTech.
Over the past few months I have noitced thata lot of people on this site have gone plain out mad. They continually insult other hunters just because they say they are having a problem with a specific bow brand, mainly BowTech.
People, a Bow is a bow. No matter what company its made by its going to have problems. BowTech is the fastest growing bow company in history. For those of you who have no knowledge of growth. Let me fill you in on a few things.
When Quanity INCREASES, QUALITY decreases!!! Its a given. So there for its a given that BowTech bows are going to have more minor defects. Who are any of you to jump on any fellow hunter and bash them when they say they have a problem with the bow or customer service when YOU have no idea whats going on? Just b/c you don't have any problems with your bow by a specific company, doesn't mean they aren't having legitmiet(sp) problems. If you read other forums on the internet, BowTechs are starting to have a lot more problems with their bows and customer service. Its going to happen more and more if they keep growing at the rate they are.
And I am going to get bashed about this post, I know. But let ya'll tell you a little something about me. I own a BowTech. I have NOTHING bad to say about the bow. It has been one hell of a bow and I plan on upgrading next season and so far, BowTech is on the top of my list. So before you all get your panties in a wad. Do some research. Do some thinking and less talking.
The way hunters bash other hunters on this site is just plain sick. I used to be a member of this site years ago. I quit coming to it just for this reason. I made this name a few months ago and came back to posting on here. It is a great site, but by far has some of the WORST people on it. We have enough problems with anti's and to think that people actually rip someone a new one just b/c they are having problems with a certain bow company.
I am pretty much done with this thread here. Man, my hat is off to you. I would have done the same thing you done and felt the same way you did. I am a lefty, I its VERY hard for me to show up at a bow shop and say "can i shoot some bows", but even with that said there is no way in hell, when I bought my bow, I would have walked out of the door with a bow that i didn't SEE come straight out of the box and was set up FOR ME.
Just a few weeks ago I went toa local shop (BowTech dealer) to get some minor work done to my bow. First time I had been in this shop. Looking around at the bows, there was a TomKat on the rack. I was talking to the guy about it. After talking a few minutes he knew I wasn't a "fool" and was telling me that the Tomkat was actually a used bow that a guy bought and had for about two weeks and brought it back and changed it in for a Ally. (of course he paid the difference).
I feel from the bottom of my heart that if I wouldn't have paid close attention to a changed accessory on the bow that the guy would have never told me it was "used". This only backs the reason that I WILL NOT walk out of a shop with a bow that didn't come out of the box.
Companies sale shops demo models WAY below the cost of regular bows...JUST FOR they can have a few set up....so don't even try that "they can't afford it crap". If the bank account of a shop is that senstive, something is wrong.
Anyways...I'm done with this thread so now ya'll can bash me now for sticking up for a fellow hunter when all you guys wanna do is be ignorant to the facts.
