Yep, sounds like someone who is just pushing the brand that they prefer! I have seen it before. One pro-shop I went to last year sold Alpine bows, he RAVED about these things left and right! He kept telling me that they were the quietest and most shock free bows on the market, but when push came to shoove, he wouldn't even let me try one out! He also told me that the 03 BowTech Patriot had so much handshock that if you shot it without a wrist sling, it would literally fly out of your hand! Well, that spiked my interest so I went to the BowTech shop and shot one! The thing just sat in my hand, never budged! So, guess which company/proshop I bought my bow from!!!!

In all the BowTech posts that I have read, I have never heard a single complaint about the limbs or riser! The only complaints that I hear are MINOR things like "tiny white dots in the camo dipping". This year, I thought that I had a problem with fletch clearance from the cables, but, that was my error. Then, I noticed that I have some serving seperation in a few spots! I took them to my friend who is a target shooter and went to PSE shooting/tuning school and he told me that I was being paranoid. The few spots are just one strand that moved less than 1/32"!

Go to a Hoyt shop and ask them if they have heard any problems with Mathews, then go to an Alpine shop and ask them if they have heard any problems with Hoyts, then go to a High Country shop and ask them if they have heard any problems about Alpine........... of course they will say something bad about the other company.... they really don't care about what bow fits you, they are looking to make a sale.

Now, with that said, there are a few dealerships that won't push their brand by bashing others. I have only found two. They let their products stand for themselves! I would suggest finding a shop like this as they are more than likely going to give you better service!!!
