Last night I went to my nearest BowTech store. The guy behind the counter said he doubts they will be ordering much with Bowtechs name on it. He claims they didn't sell well, and the ones they sold were a pain to set up because to get good arrow flight they had to set the nock super high. He is talking about last years models for they have no 2003 BowTechs yet. Are they any different to set up compared to any other bow? I can't see how they would be. I guess I'll need to go to another distributor.

I would go to another store if I was you.BowTech_Shooter or AussieGuy on here should be able to help you on this.These 2 guys know their stuff about these bows, so anything they can tell you would of great value.Hope you get the bow your looking for and the help. Later TS

SAVE A HUNTER EATA PETA

Well as far as the setup goes they are not any different from any other bow as far as I can tell. I have setup a patriot, Mighty Mite and Pro38 dual cam and the nock point on each was not any different from any other bows I have setup and they tuned pretty easy. the only time I had to set the kock point extra high was to get my muzzy zero effect to have vane clearance on the Patriot because of it's limited slide travel. As far as them being hard to sell I don'tknow because there are no dealers close to me so I don't get to see exactly what they do as far as sales, I am sure it is just like every where else some items sell better in different areas but one thing I have found is that if a shop pushes a bow they generally do very well. As is the case with a shop in my home town all year long they pushed the G-2 then they sold out and wanted to move the others and started pushing them and the next thing you know is they only had 2 bows left. I would say most of the people that go into a shop to buy a bow have no idea what they want and take the owners word on what bow is for them, the thing I here there costumers say most is which one you sold the most of and 90% or the time that is what they buy.

really sounds like this dealer has some other issue with bowtech. really they are just like any other bow to setup. they make a good product and depending on area are selling really well.

The others have said.
Plus I think OB hit the nail on the head with the issues.
If there is another dealer go to them.
There is nothing different in setting yp a BT than any other bow out there.

Go onto BT's web site and click on the dealer tab to find the ones that are in your area.

Utter nonsense and much Poo Poo! Either way, it's silly to order New Bowtech's if they're not selling in his store. He would have to have SOME excuse other than...&quot;My customers can't set up a Bowtech properly&quot; or &quot;They're to hard for me to setup&quot;

Either way I'd find a shop that DOES sell them, then you can get both sides of the story at least.

I've not found Bowtech's any easier or harder to tune than anything else , really. They like a stiff arrow, but so do the majority of bows on the market that use a dual feed single track idler. The dual's have been a breeze to tune in my experience.

I do think that the grip Bowtech has used in the past (which was fairly susceptible to torque) could cause some shooters some frustration in getting a bullethole, but that's an archer induced problem.

The new grip eliminates that variable.

Sounds to me like that dealer is blowing some smoke up you know where.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

As already stated BowTech's aren't any harder to tune than most others on the market.

It certainly sounds to me that this dealer doesn't want to sell any BowTech's or he would sell them.

We took a good number of orders at the ATA Show last week with one dealer placing a 200 bow ASAP (as soon as possible) order. This was from an exsisting dealer so I don't think they would have placed an order like that if they were untunable.

I can also tell you that shooters shooting BowTech bows have won some world and national titles in the short time they have been is business. Keep in mind these were all amateur shooters since they don't pay people to shoot their equipment.

I'd try a different dealer if I were you. One that wants to sell what he stocks...

If you need a current list of dealers drop me an email and I'll get you a list of dealers nearest to you. If you live near bordering states please include which ones and I'll give you those states dealers as well.
