Never had an ounce of trouble out of the 06 Tribute! Best bow Bowtech ever made!

09 Bowtech Admiral, smoothest bow I have ever shot and owned...

You didn't have an option for.....

I've owned Bowtechs.......no problems with them.........but I'll never buy another one.

MeanV2 01-29-2010 04:09 AM

I've owned over 15 BowTechs never the first problem. Owned my first one in 03.

They have given lots of grief to a lot of animals!!:happy0001:

'07 Guardian. It's the first bow I've ever owned so I don't have anything to compare it to. I love it however....

No problems with my Equalizer. My man has had 3 or 4 bowtechs and no issues. It doesn't mean bowtech issues don't exist, because they do, as pics don't lie. There are plenty of pics of these issues on sites that allow these flaws in bowtechs to be brought to the public's eyes.

I've had 3, Old Glory, 101, and Commander. I haven't had a problem with any of them, and still shoot the Commander. My OG I think was the favorite of the bunch, wish I hadn't sold it..

brucelanthier 01-29-2010 05:38 AM

I currently own 6. All of them have been shot extensively. No problems whatsoever. I have checked cam lean on all of them and do not see any issues.

edit: actually 7, one was loaned out all of last season. The guy loved it.

brucelanthier 01-29-2010 06:03 AM

My buddy owns 2, one of which is a General. He has shot them both extensively, no problems. He thinks they are fantastic bows.

brucelanthier 01-29-2010 06:07 AM

so, when does the Matthews poll go up?

I love my 101st. The top cam does have some cam lean and it was kinda a pain to get arrow flight right but i finally got it and i can drive tacks with it now.

JoshKeller 01-29-2010 07:53 AM

had an '04 liberty that went through 3 sets of limbs before they fianlly asked to have the bow sent in. Had an 08 general that was subject to the recall, and i had to pay for the labor to have the limbs put on, because the shop claimed I couldnt do them myself because bowtech wouldnt warrunty it, and an '08 82nd airborn that I sold after 2 months of owning it so i could get a bow that I wouldnt have to worry about.

I have owned now 4 BowTechs, 3 Mathews, 1 Hoyt, 1 High Country, 1 Merlin, 1 Reflex, 1 Golden Eagle, and 1 Bear and not had a mechanical issue with any of them. I found 1 cosmetic flaw (me being anal more than anything) on 1 BowTech and it was handled quickly by their staff who not only solved the problem, but went out of their way to provide extra service.

I'm in a similar boat. I've owned 1 Bear, 1 Jennings, 6 Hoyts and roughly 10 BowTech/Diamonds and I've had cosmetic splinters on several Hoyt limbs (Carbonite and XT2000) and on 1 BowTech limb (06 Alley). I shot all these bows without worry.

I had a Bow Tech dealership for several years, also own several of them, and never had any problems with them. Their customer service could use some help, maybe now that Matt/Pa is there he can straighten that out.

blacktail4ever 01-29-2010 04:03 PM

It is good to hear everyones opinions on this poll

SGT.H 01-29-2010 05:33 PM

I have 2, and have never had any problems with them. 06' tribute, and 09' 82nd.

Ben / PA 01-29-2010 06:29 PM

07 Commander, 08 101st, 09 Air Raid. Only issue was serious operator error on the 101st.

pdq 5oh 01-29-2010 06:51 PM

No problems with any of mine. All the way back to a 2001 Mighty Mite. Quite a few of my bows are now being shot by family members without problems.

brucelanthier, that's a beautiful Rott in your avatar. I have one with the mahogany markings, too. She looks nearly all black.
