Default "Trouble Free" Bowtech owners thread

As a new owner of a Bowtech SWAT http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=3336027 (with a 2nd one on order) I would like to hear from other Bowtech owners who own (or have owned) a Bowtech. I / we have seen the threads where people post a problem; let's post about "Trouble Free" Bowtechs (ie... no limb issues). If you did have a problem, but Bowtech took care of it that's okay too. Include the model, year, draw weight, how often & how much you shoot, ect...
Satisfied Bowtech owners, post up.

06 Allegiance- The second day I had mine I was shooting in my yard when a friend came over. He wanted to feel what my draw cycle felt like so I handed him my bow. He pulled it back with his fingers and wham!! he lets it go. I think my jaw hit the ground.
Anyways, after a serious examination, my dealer and I decided my only issue was a bent cam. We replaced the cams and I've shot it thousands of times since. No issue's. Bowtech and my dealer both have a customer for life after the way they treated me.

I would be sick if someone dry fired my bow. That's awesome that it basicslly survived with minor repair and has lasted a long time.

If I had to guess I've probably had 400 or sodemo bows over the years...I've never had any limb problems but I have had to replace two cams and a few strings from consumers dry firing them at shows.

2002 BowTech Mighty Mite, don't know how many shots but it was ALOT. Never had a problem, that thing was FAST!

2004 BowTech Liberty, went through two different sets of limbs, BowTech replaced the bow with a 2005 model of my choice (went with an Allegiance) free of charge (found the riser was bent, probablly from my "pro" shop pressing it wrong)

2005 Allegiance, shot ALOT, never had a single problem

2006 Old Glory, I REALLLLLLY miss that bow, definetly the favorite bow that I have ever owned and I wish I wouldn't have got rid of it. I shot the bow for two season, had some of the best scores (targets) and had multiple robinhoods with that bow. I am actually thinking of getting rid of my 82nd Airborne and getting another Old Glory

2008 82nd Airbone, I probablly have 5,000 shots out of it, still going strong, nothing needed replaced and everything except the finish is perfect (the InVelvet hasn't held up for me). Love the bow, but it is a little more touchy for form.
