I was at my local pro shop yesterday and came across a couple of problems that they are having with Mathews bows. I own two Mathews including a new Ovation and I am pleased with both. I have an elbow problem and the Ovation's lack of recoil is perfect for me.
The first problem centered arround the 80% let off post on a new LX, when the post setting was changed from the 65% hole to the 80% hole the letoff percent did not reach 80%, not even close. When we removed the post nut and then scaled the bow the only way that 80% letoff was achieved was when the cam rotated past the specified draw stop hole location. This bow had just been returned from Mathews warranty department do to the same problem, the pro shop owner was upset to say the least. He called mathews up while I was there but had to leave a message for his contact person.
The second problem concerns new bows coming through with "burs" on the inside of the cam track. When he called Mathews about it, he was told to use a small round file to remove them. He then called his sales rep. who couldn't beleive Mathews would even tell him to do that. The pro shop owner is sending every bow back to mathews that he finds has a problem. This pro shop sells a ton of bows, especially Mathews, Hoyt and PSE.
Like I said previously in the post, the pro shop owner was just "a little mad".
Has anyone else experienced similar problems?
