Boy! Some of you guys are really searching Hard to find something wrong with the Destroyer.

It really is laughable! By the way Don your hero fixed some problems he had a couple of years ago with a Dremel. You won't catch BowTech doing that:party0005:

Well said...I confess, I am brand loyal, not to the point of having stickers, hats, and shirts with Mathews name on it, but I am loyal to buying Mathews until they give me a reason not to.

I am not a Bowtech basher, but I do read and reading more negative post about certain bows did play into my reason for buying Mathews over certain others.

I wouldn't say searching hard as I have not been able to shoot one yet.

Its just information. nothing wrong with being informed before throwing down hard earned green on a product.

But what is laughable and transparent is damage control.

Advise for all folks who are part of bowtech, or adviser or corp shooter. Don't worry so much about it. Let us consumers talk about it. Let us consumers find out for ourselves. Let us consumers talk about every aspect there is.

If this bow is half as good as you say it is, then good crap will sell itself.

90% of the bows I have bought in the last 10 years, I did not plan to buy. In other words, I walked into a shop to pick up a broadhead or just target shoot, and someone beside me may have had a patriot. I shot it, loved it, bought it. Another person had a liberty, shot it loved it, bought. Shot matt/pa's guardian, loved it, bought one for myself. You don't have to grease us so hard.

But the more corp staff tries to spin it, more nastier it gets.

Imagine on this forum if corp staff didn't try to defend this? I bet it wouldn't have gotten past one page. But now, it is laughable. What is it? 4 pages of negativity.

And I haven't even got to shoot the bow yet.

Is admitting that really supposed to make Bowtech customers feel better?

I have to agree with you. 900 is a lot of money to spend on anything and if I were to spend that kind of money, I'd sure as hell want it to look/perform perfectly. And, as GMMAT suggested, there is a history with previous bows and how defects were handled. I sort of disinterestedly read this entire thread. I'm not in the market for a new bow. I shoot a $400 Mission because it was all I could afford. As an outside observer, and knowing Bowtech's history with this kind of thing, and not really caring one way or another, this doesn't pass the smell test in my opinion.

There you Go Loathing again!!:guiness:


BC, There is nothing wrong with information and questions. I think both have been answered to ninth degree on every forum I visit. :)

Dan

Well.....the ones you CAN visit, anyways.

Your remarks are pleasantly and not surprisingly missing from the AT discussion. My "guess" is......for valid (read - SIMILAR) reasons.

As a newbie to both this forum and possibly bowhunting I find this thread and the related ones very interesting/amazing. I like most, tend to let the product stand for itself, I don't need it pushed down my throat to make my decision. The overall "attitude" of the staff/reps of the bow in question have certainly turned me away from that as an option however. Not because of the issue/non-issue with the bow..however you may look at it, but the behavior and attitude that has been displayed while defending the brand by those with some stake in the game..it's a shame...hunting is a sport where everyone can learn a lot from everyone else, as long as there are open minds...

I rest my case.

Is is REALLY worth being "right"......if this is the colatteral damage?

And again (for the record), I've owned FIVE Bowtech bows....and still own one of them.

Well, kinda. They won't be answered until I go shoot one and see the cam myself. And make an informed decision. But now, all of us consumers are informed to look at this issue and make our own decisions. Which is a good thing for archers helping archers..
