I've had my center pivot limb cap bolts loosened and I know of a few others who've experienced the same thing on theirs. Nothing major (unless of course then come completely loose), but these bolts should be checked along with all the other checks we need to do before setting up on a hunt/practise.

As to what I meant by 'gaining ground'--I would imagine every company project going with something 'newer and better' every year, it's progress, improvement and growth.
My personal opinion tells me that the 2008 General has not really 'improved' compared to the 07 Guardian. I think for 2008the changes, such as the roller guard/shortstop fell short as the vane clearance is awfully close to the cables. For the shortstop, the string slap is added noise. The bottom cams on the General 'appears to have a slight cam lean to the rightat static state of the bow' and the longer brace height of 8.25" doesn't help a shooter who has a short draw length and has limitations with his/her draw weight.
The draw stop lock washer leaves ugly marks on the cam when adjusting it from hole to hole and on a new bow this does not look good--at least for me.
I am sure they could have done a better job here.
Nevertheless I will certainly say the shootability has improved (thanks/no thanks to the shortstop).
Of course,if changes can be made, say going back to a 7.125" BH, addressing the noise of the shortstop, etc for 2009, I would say then, 'progress' is evident.
Let me also add here as it isvery important, I am justexpressing "my opinion" of the 2008 General--As I own one of these bows ( maybe not for much longer) but certainly wasn't as happy as when I changed from, the Libertyto the Tribute to the Allegiance to the Guardian.
For "ME" the switch to the General was disappointing, and I've given my reasons why.JMHO.
