i have a big objection to buying this bow right now and this post will probly make people mad but 1 a friend of mine overlooks sales and said the first few shipments of limbs were defective and after not solving the problem they used the ones they thought were good and started putting them together and alot of them were blowing up after assembly,they sent a bunch out and when dealers were opening up the boxes the bows were blown up and they were getting tons back,2nd they were braggin about getting limbs cheaper than anyone at the trade show for $7 something a limb.my friend gets bowtechs free and won't shhot the dystroyer I would just say to wait a few years before trying this let them work out the bugs first before you spend your hard earned money.
So you say you live in bowtech's hometown and know several who work there?

yes i live in a town where bowtech is manufactured and have family and many friend who works there to and I use to be all for bowtech,one thing I have to say about bowtech is they are probly one of the smoothest bows I have ever shot,but I have seen more bowtech problems than success.i have owned a allegence,a liberty,and an 82nd airborne,and a diamond marque,and my wife has had two.I finally gave up bowtech after a few seasons ago I was shooting the day before my elk hunt and my limb cracked from top to bottom,this ruined my fisrt week of the hunt,this was the 3rd set of limbs in one year.I have replaced limbs on all the bowtechs I have ever owned.I wish they would up the quality of there bows becouse i do love the way they shoot but I won't shoot a bow I can't trust.

What is your friends name that overlooks sales and what are your family and friends names that work there?
Feel free to PM them to me, as well as your name too if you don't mind...

That's why I asked you to PM them to me. I was just curious to see if I knew any of them...
And what's it gonna hurt to put your name out there? Most of us do...

What your saying just doesn't hold water with me. I've done hundreds of shows for them since 2000 and had several thousand people shoot bows at every single one of the events... And other than an occasional dry fire, there were no problems (other than a couple string derails as a result of the dry fire's) with limbs, cams, etc. I've also owned quite a few Bowtech's of my own and have never had a single problem.
So now you know a little bit about myself, let's learn a little bit about you.
