As an archery hunter my bow heads the list of things I willneed to get the job done. Therefore, setting up my bow and combining that with my form and some ability to shoot constant groups at varying distances under changing conditions will be great help in achieving success at some time or the other down the road.
However having 'confidence' in your equipment also rates high on a hunt. On trips faraway from home I would usually take two bows along with my repair kit, tools and certain spares in the event something goes wrong, it will be quite possible I'll be able to continue my hunt.
With this in mind it's one less thing to worry about. Unfortunately with all the above, when armed with my 'General' my fears of something going wrong is 'always' at the back of my head.
I've owned the BT Liberty, Tribute, Allegiance, Guardian and General and of all those bows, I am most worried when shooting the General.
Without a doubt there is definitely'some'problem with this bow...maybe not with all the Generals'...but the 'consistant problem' I have seen on the General, it sure as hell takes away my 'CONFIDENCE' for this bow.There isn't a time I lift this bow I'm not thinking of what can happen next...it's honestly scary and I am certainly NOT comfortable adding fuel to the fire. But the truth must be told, they are 'issues' with the 2008 BT General...and it is my SINCERE WISH that BowTech resolves this failure, if they are to keep the General in 2009.
