RE: Need a little help to support bowtech....!
I had a mod screw fall out on Saturday while I was shooting. However I changed the draw length myself at the proshop and didn't use loc-tite when I put the new mods on.
So it was my fault not Bowtechs, On page 8 of the owners manual it says to use loc-tite on the mod screws. The reason Bowtech doesn't loc-tite the screws from the factory is that 9 times out of 10 the dealer will have to change mods for draw length like I had to.

I agree, its all about $. The shop owner doesn't carry BowTech for some reason, and seeing as how BowTech is going to be his biggest competitor against the bows that he is currently selling..... of course he is going to down talk them so he can try to make more money!

Ya know they can make them so that they wouldn't need loktite. Why not avoid the bad pr all together?

My buddy had a Bowtech Allegiance I think, maybe an 06. Whatever the model, there was a recall on the bow because of the limbs. Bowtech replaced it with an 08 82nd Airborne!!!!!
He loves Bowtechs.

We don't loc-tite ours, and once we tighten them down, they have not come back loose.

RE: Need a little help to support bowtech....!
ok.....so let me ask this......Has ANYONE HERE had ANY problems with there bowtech?
BUT..... it's not the best shooter in the world. It's the nature of the beast. Form is so much more critical with it than it is say with my Darton Maverick. My Darton is still the joy of my life to shoot as far as draw cycle and feel and steadiness. Don't get me wrong, I do love my Guardian.... but my Darton is a better shooter given my skills.
