RE: "Trouble Free" Bowtech owners thread
I have owned 4 bowtechs.
My 03 patriot was trouble free. But only had it one year.
My 04 liberty was trouble free for 3-4 years, but then had a limb start splintering. But I shot that bow I don't know how many thousands of shots. It was fixed. Bowtech helped me but the dealer totally screwed me. It was the last dealings I had with him.
My 07 commander is an awesome bow. Cams straight as an arrow, fast, dead quiet. I can't figure out why this bow sells poorly.
My 08 guardian has had some issues. With all my good luck with a great company, I wasn't expecting this. Cable rubs at full draw, cam lean. Just very out of character for a bowtech in my experience. So I sent it back, and get back this bow with new limbs with bright chrome pins in the limbs, cable now rubs on opposite cam. But shoots well. Bow has some string buzz my commander does not. Kinda indifferent about the bow.
I would say the reason all these high number bowtech shooters don't have trouble, is fairly obvious to me. They don't own one long enough. If you only keep a bow 1 maybe 2 years, thats nothing, any company can pull that off. Even PSE. I have kept bows up to 10 years.
Not trying to be adversarial. But lets say I wanted the opinion on a truck. One guy said he buys a new one every year, but treats it rough and never had a lick of trouble. Another explains he had a toyota pickup with 600K miles and had it for 15 years. I mean which one would you have faith in?
