OK, I’ll clarify and try to separate the opinion.
1)at IBO arrow weights Bowtech’s are the fastest line of bow out there, pound for pound, draw to draw, and brace to brace. 2)I’ve seen BT models as well as many others shot in a machine. They are as accurate as you are. While this is true of most well put together bows, I have seen some that did not shoot as accurately in a machine. I also made reservation for proper set-up and comfort.
3)Bare bow, Bowtech’s have more shock and recoil when shooting equal poundage and arrow weights than much of the competition.
4)They are of high quality construction. They have tighter tolerances than many manufacturers in the industry. If direct visual comparison is not enough, by all means pull out the micrometers. While I am no engineer myself, the ex-owner of the pro-shop I frequent is,as well as the owner of the shop I used to run. They have taken them apart and compared to them other high dollar brands he carried, I have witnessed this first-hand w/ several brands/models of bows, including HCA, XI, Oregon, McPherson, Bowtech, Mathews, Darton, Hoyt, PSE, Mountaineer, Proline, Alpine, ProSport (now champion),Golden Eagle and Bear/Jennings. Whether these tolerances make the difference, that seems to be opinion from engineer to engineer.
5)Bowtech uses it’s own patented cam technology. I suspect they pay Jennings a commission for use of the onecam patent (assuming the patent has not expired), PF cams/ Sandtraps, etc are patents they own, not license from someone else. Most manufactures license the onecam patent as well as the Max/SL patents from Mathews.
6)BT did address every major complaint they had in 2000 for their 2001 bows. Problems were either eliminated entirely, or greatly lessened.
7)Nowhere do you see BT claiming that their models will not go out of tune or that they require no tuning. Where any claim might be refuted due to variance in equipment (such as speed) they give a set of parameters that the absolutely will hold to, they don’t leave the factory if they will not.
8)Admittedly is more opinion than fact. However I think it’s safe to say that most people would agree that opinions based on intangibles, or hearsay are worth discarding, at least I would hope so.
9)Is most certainly fact. If you have any industry experience you will know about this. Every instance I mentioned is now fact.
