no i can't, b/c its really none of your buisnes how old i am...im not that open much to give stalkersany info on myself
Then why did you pm me and tell me your 20?I sure didn't want your pm.I guess I am just curious why people bothers to lie on forums? You don't have to answer, it just makes me laugh a little. Inever liked that song by Brad Pasley, "much cooler online". But it rings true. Maybe insecurity.

No, it probably didn't make a big difference, but it does show what is out there and creditibility of internet advise. Sorry to have to use you as an example. It really wasn't personal or anything.

got new limbs,cams,cable&string on my general at no chargeabout a week ago. The limbs have a pin in them about 1/4" in front of the axles.Bowtech sayes that this will fix the problem.I've shot it about 40 or 50 times sense then and so far no problems but i guess only time will tell. Has anyone heard of any problems with these limbs that have the pins installed in them? I hope not. I'm supposed to go on an elk hunt at the end of Sept.

Check the AT forums, they seem to have one or two every few days posted.

It looks like others are getting new limbs for their Generals as well. Apparently, the problem isn't being ignored. http://www.archerytalk.com/vb/showthread.php?t=732077

You guys are crackin' me up. EVERY company has a problem now and then. That is common sense.

I only had one cracked limb in all the bows I have owned. It was a martin. They love to tell you about their laminated limbs being superior,etc. but I have had about 5 bowtechs now and not one problem. Doesnt that sound a little funny?

I also had an AR when they first came out. While shooting it one day I noticed that there were chunks cracking andfalling out of the riser. No kidding. That was more than a little freaky.

You also have to consider how many how many bows bowtech is selling. If they sell 100,000 generals and had a 1% failure rate (which any company would be happy to have) that equals out to 1000 bows. I have seen of maybe a dozenthreads who had limb failures with the general. That would be more like .0001% failure rate if they sell 100,000 of them which they probly have. Think about it guys.

Bowtech will take care of them. They always have.

And Dan knows what he is talking about. He isnt allowed to give out such figures cause he would get himself into trouble.
