I purchased my General before the recall. I'd easily put 500 plus shots on it by then. I had a Sept. 08' Colorado archery Elk hunt booked. My Bowtech dealer wasn't able to get the new limbs in before the hunt. So guess what I took it anyways. I trusted it that much. I had the limbs replaced when I got back from the hunt, and deer hunted rest of season with it.I really love this bow ALOT! My only disapppointment was when Bowtech stopped offering this model for 09'. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase onein the least, but I would make sure the problem on one your looking at has been fixed. You'll see what looks like rivots at the tips of the limbs. That was all Bowtech needed to do.
