RE: 06 Bowtechs!
Only reason I ask is because I went through 4 sets of limbs on my Liberty. I will give bowtech a look again this year, but I'm going to wait until later in the year to make sure there isnt any limb problems.

Will be intersting to see if anything different is needed to press the Tribute.
Good question. I know that the limb angle on the previous models made it difficult for some press designs. Hopefully the new change in limb angle on the Tribute model isn't enoughto trully create a problem. Somebody is going to have to design an entirely new bow press to keep accomodating for the more and more parallel limbs.
This is something that has kept me away from bowtec so far. There have been a lot of threads on here about bad limbs on their bows. I know every company can have problems but it really does seem that bowtec has more limb issues then others. I understand they have great customer service but I surewould hate to have to use it so much.
Maybe the new limb angle on this new bow coupled with the offset limb pockets will help address this issue.

I've always heard a few mathews and hoyt shooters tell me about those bad bowtech limbs, but i've never heard anyone who's owned a bowtech say they've had cracked or busted limbs, (go figure)

My BowTech has been great. But in the past 3 yrs I've owned a Hoyt and Mathews that both had to have limbs replaced. Guess it just goes to show that it can happen to any manufacturer at any time.

So they finally eliminate the engineering mistake by eliminating the little knobby on the binary cam. It's good to see they are headed in the right direction now by copying Hoyt's quality and innovation.
