The post was to inform owners of their product, to help ensure their safety while using the products. Bowtech has produced very poor products, and I care about my fellow man. As I read through posts and identified so many Bowtech owners, I thought it would be good to post the recall for those who may not be aware of the recall, for one.

If you read some of my other posts on products, you will see that I give credit where credit is due. When there is a quality product that I used and have experience with, I will post my honest opinion to potential buyers. This also holds true when I have a horrible experience, especially when I am physically injured due to a poor product. Is this the reason for blogs, or am I off base???????

Here is my story about Bowtech.

Two years ago I purchased my first bow, Bowtech "The general", as it was the best bow that I shot at my proshop. It did everything that I wanted it to do... for a few weeks. I heard that limb breakage was being experienced with this bow. Mine was returned to the proshop for resolution. After 8 weeks pass, it was finally ready for pickup. When I saw the bow and the fix…. Two big shiny silver pins through the limbs, I was very disappointed. This was not exactly what I wanted in a hunting bow…. The sun reflected off of them like a mirror. I took it home and shot three arrows out of it, the fourth time that I pulled back the bow, I heard a snap and there I stood with blood dripping from my arm. The cam sheared apart which cut the string… and ripped the skin from my arm. I immediately took the bow to the proshop and they interacted with Bowtech. I was blamed for breaking the bow and Bowtech did not agree to replace it. I called the company multiple times and they laughed at me. I paid $900.00 for a product that, was recalled, repaired half way, and then hurt me. How much more does it take to get it replaced. Anyway, they finally agreed to fix the product. When I got the bow back, I took it in the back yard and set fire to it. There is no way that I was shooting the bow again, and I would rather loose 900 bucks than have a fellow hunter hurt or killed by this bad product. This is not the only instance that I am aware of with these products. Gander Mountain in my area had the Diamond lines malfunctioning. The strings would pop off the cam and or wheel.

In Summary, for those who have had good success with Bowtech, consider yourself lucky. I just hope that my post will shed light on this company for potential buyers. It would have been one thing if the bow was repaired correctly, using quality products. It would be another if the company stood behind their product… However, this was not the case and why I must make others aware of my experience. If my post saves one person from bodily harm, then it is well worth the time it takes to write it up and post it here. I understand loyalty, as I served my country, so that we can enjoy the freedom of hunting…safely!
