How many times do I have to tell you guys, Bowtech's are junk and stop shooting those damn flyweight carbons! Lol! just kiddin all in good fun I'm glad no one was hurt.

That has been proven. Terry martin even voted in one poll that his bowtech blew up. I believe about 10% of what is written over there. Tons of people have alters, even the mods.

For those that are arguing and trying to down blotech, just let it go. dont buy one, thats fine. buy a hoyt or keep shooting your old high country, all of these post just keep going though, we all know they have limb failures. people still buy them knowing that b/c they are a good shooting bow.

that being said, as far as durability, i shot an 04 ultratec until now. i loved it and thought it was awesome. it got dropped out of a tree and hunted with in the snow and rain. never a single issue out of it. when i went to buy a new bow, i shot them all. even though i knew that my last hoyt was a great durable bow, i felt that it didnt hold a candle to my general (to me). thats why im shooting the bt still. if it blows which is a very very slim chance, it will be waranteed. other than that, it shoots amazingly and that to me is enough to buy another.

btw all, i got my limbs replaced last weekend, and while i was in theremy dealer told me he set a 82nd airborne up for a guy the night before. the guy lived 80 miles away. he came back the next morning after the limb split apart and blew up.

Come on ROB, I stated my case, and each of those BT's I shot 6 weeks ago was a NICE shooter, I said that, but HONESTLY, here, AT, Bowsite, etc, it seems nearly EVERY thread I've seen with the exception of a couple of Mathews, and yes, it's probably 30-40 different times. There may be a few "fraudulent" ones, on AT, but it someone thought they were, then they should take it up w/ the ADMIN there, Bowtech IS an AT sponsor. If it's really that fraudulent, then I'd think someone from BT Inc would get on there and make an issue of it. I know if I owned a business and someone was fraudulently bad-mouthing me, they'd hear about it, and I certainly wouldn't allow my sponsorship dollars to support such a website that I get smeared that way on. I will say that at least 10 of those were regarding Generals, and there were a few early in the year that were 82nd's, but over the last 4+ yrs, I've heard more about the BT limbs being problems than any other bows limbs.

And this statement says it all I think....

"If BT came out w/ LAMINATED LIMBS in 2010, their sales would INCREASE DRAMATICALLY, and yours truly might be taking a second look, as well." That's probably the only thing holding me back, that and maybe having an extra $700 or so I don't know what to do with. I honestly think it's got to be coming, to stay on the cutting edge. Why not make one of the best bows the MOST durable as well. They don't have to make a BOAT anchor for a riser, just a little better limbs.

i guarantee it is more than you think.

Funny thing is I have had about 6 mathews and now 6 bowtech and never had a problem one. Aren't those the ones that you guys say are junk? The ONLY limb problem I ever had was on a martin

I'd really like to know what arrow setup he was shooting

Odd Doug, I've been on forums for over 10 years and I bet I can't count 40 total real threads about all manufacturers and broken limbs. I know about a pile of Hoyt risers bending but I don't jump on a forum and in ALL CAPS state HOYT SHOOTERS BEWARE and I can find a pile of Mathews limbs blowing, in fact I can produce pictures from my local Mathews shop where I buy my arrow supplies. He shows them to me everytime I go in but I don't jump on that bandwagon either. Mathews axels are bending, we don't slander them but every Hoyt shooter, every Mathews shooter in the world loves to pile on. This thread cautioned Bowtech shooters, what are the rest of you even doing piling on? Less we forget I shot for Hoyt for nearly 10 years, I have your horror stories, that's not what's important and you'll never catch me jumping on a horror story piling on.

Bowtech lost some limbs, pile on boys, pile on, you all call Bowtech fan, "fan boys", LOOK IN THE MIRROR. Some of the comments I've read in this thread are simply pathetic and I don't care what manufacturer it's about.

I suppose you can say I'm a representative of Bowtech and Bowtech is a sponsor here on HNI so, I'm reading some of these as slander then and I'm assuming this rule applies. I now caution you to watch your fingers boys, no matter what manufacturer it is.
