Default RE: A tale of four bows…..

Another suggestion might seem a bit nitpicky but since it is something that nagged at me I thought I would mention it. While hunting on the ground and laying the bow down on the ground on a few occasions I managed to get some dirt stuck in there around the limb bolt. Not a big deal if I use some type of bow stand in the blind or if I was hunting a treestand with a preset bow hook but in some cases I did not use either. With that situation in mind I would like to see some type of encasement surrounding the limb bolt area to protect and support that bolt section a bit better. Though I have never had a problem with support in this area I think providing protection at a critical location such as this would make sense. Now this may seem to run somewhat contradictory to my suggestion of reducing weight but I would be willing to sacrifice a bit of the latter for peace of mind.
Frank, Frank, Frank..... I thought after all these years, I'd learned ya better.

DUCT TAPE! Tha's all I'm sayin'.

The one thing about the General that I didn't see you mention is that it doesn't have the 'no press' capability like the Guardian and Commander. You have to have a bow press to work on it. It was that feature that made me really take an interest in the BowTech line. I remember the days when presses weren't needed to work on bows and I like seeing it coming back.
