I have owned now 4 BowTechs, 3 Mathews, 1 Hoyt, 1 High Country, 1 Merlin, 1 Reflex, 1 Golden Eagle, and 1 Bear and not had a mechanical issue with any of them. I found 1 cosmetic flaw (me being anal more than anything) on 1 BowTech and it was handled quickly by their staff who not only solved the problem, but went out of their way to provide extra service.
