Woe is me what willeveryone do thats got a fast bow. Couldit be they are too fast for their on good? Or are they being shot with arrows to light? I would buy a different bow an start practicing with it an put the faster bow up an treat it like a race car. Pull it out when someone says they have a faster bow.

Jim:

What in the hell is your point? Why are you trying to start an argument when none exists? I simply said I hope NOT to see a bunch of "piling on".

What's the "coincidence"? Enlighten us, Jim! This ought to be good!:eek:

And so it begins....or keeps on.....lol. Yeah...the General owners bought them as "speed" bows.

This is hilarious!:D

Who started ****? I posted a post about saving some onesvision and your reply was very well thought out.:eek:

Eye injuries can be serious, involving several parts of the eye and are usually quite painful. Eye injuries are a common cause of loss of vision in children. The National Society to Prevent Blindness states that about one-third of eye loss in children younger than the age of 10 is from injury to the eye. Injury from sports is very common.
Some of the more recurrent injuries occur during the following activities:


[*]hockey[*]archery[*]darts[*]BB guns[*]bicycling[*]sports that involve rackets[*]baseball[*]boxing[*]basketball

You are assuming again!

I never said which bows. I just do not think any bow limbs that are made right now will hold up a long time shooting arrows that are real light. Special with thespeed that some of them have these days.

RE: I saw it with my own eyes...
 

Or...just following along with the thread. I think we're talking about general limbs.

Jeff I only posted this because you have admitted in the past to sometimes being a little hard to educate on some subjects.;)

The American Medical Association classifies sports as collision (football, rugby, hockey, lacrosse), contact (baseball, soccer, basketball, wrestling), noncontact (cross-country running, track, tennis, crew, swimming), and other (bowling, golf, archery, field events). These classifications may be misleading because golf and racquet sports, for instance, have a great potential for eye injury but may not be considered hazardous for the monocular athlete if these classifications are followed. Conversely, these classifications may be overly restrictive with regard to contact sports such as hockey, for which adequate eye protection is available.

RE: I saw it with my own eyes...
 

This is what made me say "And so it begins", Jim....NOT the part about the eye injuries.

We have 2-3 known (to us, admittedly) limb issues....and you refer to that as "shooting something that has exploding tendencies".

IF....that wasn't directed at the bow/mfr in this thread.....

THEN....I apologize.

I think that Bowtech could be well aware there is an issue but cost in replacing is a factor. Here is a quote from the Bowhunting Gear section.

Status: offline Just yanked this from another site; this guy is a known DIEHARD Bowtech shooter so he can't be called for foul play here nor is there a conspiracy at hand............



Well I am not complaining...I love my bowtechs..!!
But I just want to share an experience..
While tuning a Bowtech General, Full draw in the draw board, it exploded!!
The axles pulled straight through the limbs...
Well after two broken fingers, and a broken arm.. I decided to call bowtech.
This is what they had to say...
"Yes we realize that there has been a problem with a batch of epoxy used on some of the General limb tips."
So I asked, why hasn't there been something done like a re-call.
They said," the recall would be too large."

I love my bowtechs and will continue to shoot them, they make a solid bow, but I think something needs to be done about this. I can't afford to have a broken arm and two broken fingers...this was a customers bow from MI. Sent to me for strings and tuning...

Just wanted to share my experience to get more acknowledgment about the situation....




Now a recall being too large if that was indeed said? At what cost doesn't it become too large? If anyone gets seriously hurt by one of these bows you could see lawsuits in the millions because plenty of sights have show these things blowing up. I hope this issue is a small as poeple are making out to be but how hard is it to pull a few serial numbers and replace the limbs from that batch of Bows if there is an issue?

RE: I saw it with my own eyes...
 

2-3 issues???? There are 2-3 a day being posted on other sites after a good weekend of shooting.

RE: I saw it with my own eyes...
 

I work in a field where eye injury is a very big factor, blind bow hunters are not inherently common.

If you shoot bazookas or bows you should wear eye protection.

I will accept you apology.:)
