I dont trust my bow (Anymore)
I hve a lifetime warrantee bow, That went hay wire 1 month before NY bow season started, before that came about, i was out 3 times aweek shooting 20 arrows on the average & became (1) with my bow I was shooting so perfect. UNTIL! At full draw I heard a clip than my string fell foward, so i let off & went to the shop to see what happened, My wife asked me whats wrong, So i pulled the bow back again It went haywire lower cam split almost off String jumped. I sent it back to Company to get it repaired, they replaced lower cam Got it bacl 1 week before bow season & At full draw upper & lower cams were shifting to the left, thought string was going to jump, & if they would have tested this bow at factory , they would have seen it, So i drove 2 hours to locate a dealer , he adjusted the strings But no go , My split limbs were worped, So sent it back to company again, this time I spoke to Woman in charge of warrantee's & told her, needless to say I started my season off with a borrowed bow , Gorgeous 8 point came out below me at 30 yards ( But ) i didnt trust this bow !!... Finally i got my bow back 2.5 weeks into bow season, but didnt trust it anymore & still dont, even thou everything is almost State of the art New on it..... What should i do, go test more bows & try to trust another campanys bows ? or suck it up & practice practice practice with My Old/New bow to try to regain trust with it........[>:]

confidence is about everything in archery. you know that. if you do not feel confident in your set up, get a new one. I had the same thing happen with a pearson I owned. my suspicions were correct when the shop told me the riser was bent. imagine that. that bow went in the trash as at the time, pearson was no longer around.

Agreed...
I was not confident in my setup once, and it resulted in a deer dying in a way it didnt have to, and a very long track job for me.
Look at it this way, there is no better excuse to go shopping for new toys than the want of a clean kill

Thanks for your feedback......I do plan on searching after tax season for a new bow, no doubt....As a back up bow, no idea if i'll keep this High Country..... & to Bowtech about why the heck i drew it again, Just wasnt thinking After a long day at work Than practice with my bow & wife asked me a question, Just never thought & drew it. It happens....
Thanks again

Slowpitch, I'd have to suggest shooting it a bunch with all that new "State of the art" technology they threw at it. Then decide. You liked it for some reason to begin with.
After that . . . dump it on eBay.

RE: I dont trust my bow (Anymore)
if im correct it was a high coutry that u had. i know a guy that had the same problem with his highcountry. im pretty sure it was the ultra light. my advise for u would be shoot as many bows as possible and chose the one u like.
