It is not a case of "Bowtech bashing." It is a wakeup call! Without clear evidence that the cracking or breaking bow limbs can be attributed to owner's neglect/cause, there have been enough incidents of limb problems to warrant requesting that Bowtech affirm that there is not a product safety issue with any of Bowtech's bows. Of course, one has to get by the "cult" mentality and the "good services" cover to do so.

First; you have to acknowledge and accept the reality that the Bowtech company is not your "buddy." Bowtech's primary interest, as it is with just about any business, is your money and making and keeping a profit. Good and expedient services and those warm and fuzzy telephone conversations are all part of the "PR" tactics. However, there can be another hidden reason why a manufacturer will sometimes use great service and PR; that is to cover up a problem the manufacturer know exists with their product.

What if, by chance, Bowtech knows they have a bad run of limbs, a flawed component, or a flawed design out on the market? Do you really believe they would voluntarily recall thousands of bows? The financial loss and the loss of reputation would probably take Bowtech down very quickly. I would assume that bow manufacturing is one business that rides a tenuous line of survival or sink.

If the problem is greater than the consumer realizes and Bowtech knows it, but the problem is a "may or may not" problem, Bowtech would rather play the odds that less bow owners will have and report problems than the amount of bows that should be recalled. Therefore, they would just ride the storm, give great service to the customers that report a problem, and quietly phase out the flawed bow design or the bow component that is the cause.

The bottom line is; if you are a Bowtech aficionado and Bowtech can do know wrong, so be it. However, not all Bowtech owners think the same, nor do all prospective buyers care that someone is in love with his or her bow, and that regardless of a possible problems, the company provides "great service." Some people would rather not have to use a warranty.

Is it a fact that any of the Bowtech bows are flawed in any manner? No! But there is no harm, no foul, to require Bowtech to issue an official declaration to consumers that Bowtech is not aware that any of the Bowtech bows have a quality or product safety issue.

As for telling me that my opinions are considered to be "brand bashing," and that I should make a separate thread to do so; sorry, you will just have to live with it. As long as the thread is relevant, and this thread is, and I were say that a bow stinks, not the person who owns the brand, that is my opinion. If you want to say that Martin is junk, feel free to do so. My bows are inanimate objects; not my wife.
