I want to comment on something that I have seen fairly often here and over on AT with the new Bowtech/Diamond/Ross threads.

I think alot of folks have to understand that you cannot really please everyone, every year with the new bow designs. So far I have seen comments such as.....

" I wish they had a shorter draw length bow..."
" I wish they had a longer draw length bow...."
"I wish they didn't make any shorter than 34 inches from axle to axle..."
"I wish they made some really short bows...."
"I hope they improved the limb design...."
"I wish the "Blank bow" was about 10 fps faster with the same overall specs...."

All of the comments are then followed up with something like "...until they do I won't be spending money on them."

FWIW, I can see where you folks are coming from. I really can. I have a longer than average draw length and for years I have always asked for the flagship bows to be offered in draw lengths longer than 30 inches. So, whenfolks come out with some of the comments mentioned above I can sympathize with you. What I want to emphasize though is that the current models do have alot of new and innovative features. They aren't simply a rehash of previous years' designs. Bowtech constantly evaluates their models based on input from their dealers and from folks just like you. Case in point, I know one issue folks had with last year's General was the mass weight. Though I have not actually seen it in writing yet I would be willing to bet a fair amount that the General's "offspring" are noticeably lighter without sacrificing any of the excellent shooting characteristics that made the General so attractive.

Another issue that came up late in the year was the issue with the General's limbs. Once you folks hear what they are doing with the limbs on this year's bowsI will be willing to bet that you will rethink your stance on their limb design. I really do. I am sure Matt will share more as time allows.

I guess my point in typing all of this is simply to say thata companycannot please everyone. But I do sincerely believe that Bowtech tries to please as many people as they can while still not drifting away from their goal to provide cutting edge bow designs and solid customer service to back it up.

Keep that in mind when you post your thoughts. They are being heard and even if there isn't a bow in their current lineup that completely suits your needs then maybe there will be next year.
