I totally agree, people seem to have forgotten that we are all in this together regardless of what nameis on your limbs. I wonder if Pete Shepley kicked guys out of camp and bashed them for shooting a High Country instead of a PSE. Too many egos and inferiority complexes these days IMO and the real shame is that we are BLESSED today with the amount of top notch bows we have available to us but instead of coming together and enjoying it all they want to do is fight because they think it somehow makes them cooler I guess.

At any rate, I just wanted to say my peace because I didn't want anyone thinking I was just some Mathews fanboy out to start trouble.

This isn't how you have come across in any of your posts. Have you done anything to confirm any of this other than jerk posts from various message boards and post them? Why are you not the one that grabbed the two page thread on AT that lists a large number of shooters that have not had any trouble? Why have you not rang in on that one?

Have you confirmed with Bowtech that their policy on this matter is that a recall is just too expensive so they aren't going to worry about the situation? You jerked a post off of a message board from someone you don't know when all you have to do is send an email or make a phone call to the company. If they really told this to a consumer why would you be any different?

When showing genuine concern for the greater good of all one should present both sides to the story and confirm facts.

I'm not going to touch this one with a 10 foot stick because I don't want to be called a basher and there is no way that I can answer it without being accused of trying to start a conspiracy.

Fair enough. Most times saying nothing is a whole lot more informative than talking.

I have spoken to my shop and asked for an explanation and they called bowtech and said that they will ship out improved limbs. I dont know what they meant by improved,but I am getting new limbs, and I will post a pic when they come in.

Drop, did you have a problem? Or concern that yours will fail?

Just concerned, so I decided to call just to ask a few questions. At first they didnt sound like they wanted to believe me, but today when they called me back they said that I could get new limbs free of charge so I thought why not. I told them to order them and let me know when they are in. Otherwise, I havnt had any problems with my General.

I am so sorry I didn't listen to the warnings...my BowTech General did exploded. I was at full draw just getting ready to pull the trigger and it just ******* exploded. I have a hell of a bruise on my cheek, chest (ribs) and a few scratches, but nothing requiring a hospital visit. I was on vacation shooting at a friend’s house in OC, MD and can't believe this happened.

From the previous warnings, me and my good buddy check my bow prior to shooting for any types of cracks and there was nothing...the bow was in perfect condition.

Please let me warn you, put them away and don't shoot them. PUT THEM AWAY until they are repaired!

Here is the link to where I posted the pics on AT.

I am only doing this to protect (from injury) the general owners and to bring awareness to the issue. If it hasn’t happened, and your bow was made prior to June of this year, IMO it can and will likely happen.

Please be careful.

Glad you're ok Jamb, I read your deal on AT.

Rumor is there's a massive recall coming, press release forthcoming from Bowtech ...
