Thanx for the feedback folks..
Waiting for bows

I know how it is[:@] At one time I shot lefty (right handed, left-eye dominant), and I've waited 4 to 6 months on a couple from some companies. It was torture

I've waited nearly a year for a custom longbow. That was inhumane

. Delays are a a part of business, however in these particular cases it's just bizarre..there shouldn't be any major delays or mis-matched part bows, 2003s played off as 2004s or whatever..
I had never heard of North Sylva 'til I got involved trying to help John get his bow straightened out, so I'm unaware of any ongoing difficulties with them other than what has been brought up here on HBBS.
I have little influence in such business matters as choosing or losing a distributor, but I have sent your posts to some of the Execs at BowTech so they are aware of the difficulties y'all are experiencing. If this is going to be a recurring problem, I'm sure they will take action as you are correct: it affects BowTech's image.
Ampa if you want to email me your information (dealer,& address, exact bow you ordered, when, etc) I'll pass it along to the powers that be....perhaps we can dig a little deeper
