It really is a shame that when someone has an issue with a beloved Bowtech they get drug through the mud. WHO ARE YOU that he has to show you pictures?? Do you really think that you are that important that you are going to have the final say as to whether or not this happened????
What amazes me is how every authorized dealer in the country seems to have forgotten how to press a bow since Bowtech became a bow line.... it's always the press
Some of you reaaaaaaaaally need to get over yourselves.

The problem is that anyone in this forum shooting a BOWTECH is in denial that there is a major issue with some limbs on the Generals. It's great to have so many differen't companies and bow models, but if you don't pick a Bowtech the MAFIA comes gunnin for you

RE: General limbs blew today!
Well, his very first post at HNIwas telling us how he pressed it in a portable press that wasn't working right, nor was it the correct press to useand he was hearing strange noises. I carry and sell 6 different bow lines and I would be just as skeptical about a Mathews, Hoyt, or any other bow if it played out like this one did.
No one said that it didn't happen but it seems very coincidental that every time this happens it is a new person that has never posted before, doesn't give the entire truth up front, etc... etc... Sorry about being a little suspicious but you get that way after running a shop for a few years. Things are almost never what they seem to be and almost no one tells you everything up front when their bow "blows up". I watched a person draw back his bow with his release and didn't put an arrow in it. I say him, with my own eyes, move the finger and press the trigger. He swore up and down that he didn't but I watched him do it. Guess what his bow did?
In the last two weeksI have ordered and replacedlimbs for two Martins, two Bowtechs, one Mathews, one Browning and replaced a set of cams on a Bowtech Tomkat after a dry fire that Bowtech didn't even charge the customer for. They all have limb failures but this one is especially "fishy".

Yeah, I've learned that since being here. It just amazes me how fun it is for them to bash other brands yet when you post a TRUTH about theirs the guns get drawn and nobody knows how to use a press.
EVERY bow has issues, be it serving, limbs, weight........ whatever. Some people just really need to accept that and move on lol.

Oh the Bowtech forum comes to life....
Listen, it sucks your general blew up, your best bet is to get rid of it.... put the money towards something that does not require a specialized press (that bowtech hasn't made public yet) and shoot it.
Sure they do and it is listed on their web site for the whole world to see !!!!! But that would require some reading skills.....

Did I log on to ArcheryTalk or HuntingNet? I can't exactly tell, someone help me out here.
I'm not refering to the General issue nearly as much as I am the folks jumping the guy's case from the start. Since when do we as a community here not support our fellow members, regardless of how long they've been a member?
While I understand that this case may be completely user error, I don't understand why we need picture evidence to prove things one way or the other. What if it were a Mathews? Or a Hoyt? Or a Martin? Would you all be so quick to jump him about it? I understand he's new. He was looking for support and you guys made him an outcast from the get-go.
I like HNI because we look out for each other for the most part. Way to go, guys.
