pdq5oh - How's the Pro40 F-cam
 

pdq5oh-

I saw pic, but I want to know how she shoots!!! I took the plunge and ordered the Pro40 F-cam, I'm sure it is just as good as the Liberty but am interested in your thoughts.

DLE, I haven't gotten to shoot it allot yet. What I can tell you from initial impression is this. The draw is very smooth, as reported by others. The balance is very neutral. There is virtually no recoil or vibration, and they are extremely quiet. I shoot 60# bows but feel a 70# F cam would not be a problem for me. All the shooting I did, I was messing with the rest & sight. The couple of groups I shot were very satisfactory, given the first time shooting it. I let a couple of others shoot it and they were very impressed. The two things most commented on were how smooth, and how quiet. I hope to shoot it more this week, time permitting. I'll fill you in.

Indeed, this bow is sweet shootin :). pdq5oh gave me the opportunity to shoot this bow the other day and I was inpressed. The bow had basically zero hand shock and a very smooth draw curve. The first group I shot was 20 yards and all arrows were touching. I even split one of pdq5oh's arrows[&:]. Sorry pdq50h:eek:. If I could shoot this bow this accurately when it wasn't even set up for me then I can only imagine after some practice. Bowtech definately makes sweet shootin bows ;).

Well, my dealer talked with his rep today and he is going to try and push my bow in with the other 3 he has on order so I should be getting my Pro40 w/ F-cam by the middle of next week, as along as the rep wasn't blowing smoke up my dealer's arse!

I also talked with a Bowtech rep and they said new limbs, cams, strings, & cable and I can have a Pro40 dually, uh I may have to do that because $750 is a lot to fork out for another bow!! :D:D But its only money!

RE: pdq5oh - How's the Pro40 F-cam
 

And money well spent.;) Good luck with the new bow, you're gonna love it.

DLE
How much for limbs,cams,string & cable? Did you ask.
Or maybe BTS will tell us...... Thanks fishon

fishon-

I'm getting a set of string and cables from Berry strings for $45 and I'm assuming probably $100 for the limbs and $100 for the cams so I'm looking at $250 in total.

RE: pdq5oh - How's the Pro40 F-cam
 

Thanks Double, I'm looking at that option also!

RE: pdq5oh - How's the Pro40 F-cam
 

I got to shoot both the Liberty and Pro 40 tonight. All I can say is Smooth and Quiet !! I just bought an 03 Extreme a month ago. Wish I would have waited.

fishon01-

I talked with one of techs at Bowtech and he told me they do not sell their cams separately. Seems they have had problems with them getting into the wrong hands. He did say that you could send them your bow and they'd do a swap for you for $250 but you don't get your old limbs & cams back, which didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

Well, we almost had a plan!! What i wanted to do was get the pro 40 and put the dually's limbs on it to get the brace ht down. If that would've worked. Don't know why it would'nt. I'm hoping to get down to bowtechs pro shop soon, and try all of them.:D

RE: pdq5oh - How's the Pro40 F-cam
 

Wrong hands? Any competitor wanting to check them out only has to buy a bow at a shop. $6-700 for R&D is probably a drop in the bucket...

Seems like a sneaky way to get you to buy two bows :)

Rangeball-

That is what I figured, why sell parts for small margin vs a bow for large margin. I'll just have my dealer order it for me and see what happens.

RE: pdq5oh - How's the Pro40 F-cam
 

It's the cams they don't want getting out and being put on other manufactures bows.

Back in Sept. I had a guy come up to me at a show and says "what number module will make my Martin ?? a 29" draw with your BK cams on it?" "I bought them off of ebay for $20.00"

You can get the conversion done, but that's why they don't sell cams outright.

RE: pdq5oh - How's the Pro40 F-cam
 

Pat, but why not send a guy back his limbs and cams, which he paid for? Especially as stated above the guys want to get dual duty out of the bow?

Is there some sort of credit or "trade in" allowance given?

RE: pdq5oh - How's the Pro40 F-cam
 

BTS-

Any reason why I wouldn't get the original cams & limbs back if I did the swap and paid $250 for the new cams & limbs?

RE: pdq5oh - How's the Pro40 F-cam
 

Hey!!! I've got an idea!!!! Just send them the riser and say that you lost the rest:D

RE: pdq5oh - How's the Pro40 F-cam
 

wwag-

I figured my dealer could get me limbs and cams if for some reason my bow was dryfired and they blew up and there was nothing left of them to send back. :D:D:D

RE: pdq5oh - How's the Pro40 F-cam
 

I haven't heard of this before. In the past they've let people order new cams, limbs and harness and pay retail to the dealer on the limbs and harness. Then they charge a swap fee for the new cams and the authorized dealer has to send the old ones back.

That's the way it used to be done but things may have changed, I'll look ino it and see what I can come up with.
