I may not own my Bows very long, but I know where most of them are, and the current owners are still shooting them, still trouble free.
One thing I've noticed in 40 years in archery and many years running a Pro Shopis it seems some archers have moreproblems than others, regardless of brand. Just ask Len! I'm sure he will agree with me.
When you are the fastest growing company on the block, and you are passing up your competetion that's been around for many years. It creates a lot of jealousy
That in turn causes every problem to be blown out of proportion[8D]

I am engineer. I understand relibility, quality, and design. This is what I do. I like to tinker. I like to take apart. My whole job in life is to point out flaws and suggest fixing. And that carries over to my hobbies.
But you are correct on a few accounts. A bunch of things are blown out of proportion, because the price is blown out of proportion. The spin on the manufactures side has grown out of proportion, so therefore, the customer base complains has to offset that. I mean why do you think you and about 10 others on here are bowtech staff shooters? I know why. I have discussed it with many face to face. And its good that bowtech has you on these forums to do a "job". You earn those two to 3 bows you get a year in spades. Just good business practices. Same with the staff shooters on AT. They are doing a job.
Yes, some archers shoot thier bows 10X more than the average. And yes, they will see problems 10X faster. Its just mere statistics dan. If you have ever worked in a mass produced manufacturing enviroment, it would be very appearant to you. I see it in every engineering job I have had.
As len once said concerning bowtech vs. Mathews. "I would love to sell Mathews, but if I can't sell you, I am going to sell against you". Bruce Lathier was there when he said it. So was 5 others. That was very telling.
But with all that said, do you Dan, believe that broken limbs are rare with bowtech? Do you Dan, think all these folks are merely lying? Untruthful? All those pictures made up?
