A few clarifications from my post. I said no other company need to be mentioned because this thread is about Bowtech. Ask about Mathews on a different thread.

My next point, after reading JeffB's post, and regarding working in a manufacuturing environment. I do as well, one that makes things I can guarantee you use every day, you are using one right now. They recently did go public because of a manufacturing flaw, and recalled tens of thousands of products, costing millions, not to mention crushing the stock price. So it does happen.

As for my mention of a mandatory statement of the root cause, I stand behind that. A limb failure is a HUGE safety issue. If there is a recurring issue, and one person gets hurt, what has happened? God forbid it was one of you on this board. I do not consider 3 or 4 out of 200 a small instance. In any manufacturing arena, that is a major statistic. It becomes a matter of corporate responsibiltiy. I am not saying other companies should not step up as well, but we are talking about Bowtech here. In an extreme case, what if your kid is standing by you watching you shoot your bow and it goes, hurting your child, and the problem could have been fixed. A root cause needs to be found and addressed. It may be random events, but that can still be summed up and published. What if it is a QC issue, but one that can be identified? Find it and fix it. I am sure Bowtech is doing exactly that trying to find the issue, but tell us about it.

All that being said, I am still probably going to by a Bowtech this spring. Why? Becasue I believe they make a quality product and I believe they will get to the bottom of this issue. Finding the root cause and identifying it for the consumer can only help. And it is the right thing to do.

Enjoy and be safe,
