StrutNtom, to clear things up, Bowtechs program or anything they sell off their site they will cover. What Im talking about is a non-Bowtech dealer selling off the internet, it will not be covered, even if it brand spanking new still in a sealed box. As a matter of fact, printed in the warranty, if you think your bow needs to go back to Bowtech for repairs, you must first take it to your dealer, he determines if it needs to go to Bowtech, he then needs to get a return authorization from Bowtech befor they will except it. Also a copy of the sales receipt must ocompany the bow.
