RE: Another Bowtech goes crack
 

I had a Liberty and still have my 04 P40 Dually. Both, never a problem. My bro-law has an 04 Mighty Mite. Same thing. There were some limb problems in the past. Do a search here and on other sights. Other companies had their share as well.

RE: Another Bowtech goes crack
 

Sorry to hear about your limbs failing.

I have never had a single problem with any of my BowTechs. I have owned a few and have put alot of shots through each of them... especially the Allegiance, Patriot and Extreme.

03 Extreme VFT
03 Patriot Dually VFT
04 Patriot SC VFT
04 Mighty Mite VFT
04 Pro 40 Freedom
05 Allegiance VFT

I have never owned a Bow Tech but my father and I have had very good luck with Mathews. We both have 02 Legacy's and I had a Feather lite before that and he had a Z max and a vapor before his. None of these bows have had any poblems. I also know a lot of people who have Mathews bows and I can't think of any poblems with any of those bows either. If I didn't have the Legacy I would buy the Switchback, that is a nice bow. Good luck with your Bow Tech.

Mine SPLIT right down the middle........ ooohhhh, never mind...... my bad! ;):D

RE: Another Bowtech goes crack
 

Thanks to a great dealer I'm back up now. I really like the MM,just lousy timing to be having a failure. Seems to be shooting even better now,I think the limb strength may have been uneven for a few weeks causing minor tuneing problems???? Back in the game now,next thing is to find a willing gobbler. Thanks guys

RE: Another Bowtech goes crack
 

Wow, that was a quick turn-around!
Glad to hear it work out that way for ya.

My Patriot also seems much easier to tune with it's new limbs than it did with it's stock set. i wonder if there is something to that?

RE: Another Bowtech goes crack
 

I have two Bowtechs,know a lot of folk with Bowtechs and quite few more with other bow brands and Ive never heard of limbs cracking from normal use. Without pissing on anyones battery, could dry firing be the problem??

RE: Another Bowtech goes crack
 

Never dry fired here unless it was at factory,watched tech open box and set it up,365-400 grain arrows only. Set around 65lb after about the first week 70lb before that.
DaveC, dealer remembered a set of limbs he had hidden for just such a problem as mine,good idea. Mfg's should place a couple sets of spare limbs for their best sellers in all shops and replace dealer stock when dealer justifies using a set under warranty I think he had seen 4-5 broken limbs on 04s,small shop

RE: Another Bowtech goes crack
 

Glad to hear you got her going,, now go stomp a turk:D

RE: Another Bowtech goes crack
 

NC hunter, that is a good idea. Glad to hear your shop owner has enough savey to do so.

SA Techie, no dry fires here either-I promise. I was there the day they pulled my bow from the box and it had never left my sight until after the limb issue (when it spent over a month at the dealer waiting on limbs.)
My limbs weren't cracked so to speak, the finish was splintering on the outer surface. Deeper than just paint, but not real deep.

My bows have also never been near the 5gr per pound minimum. Each is shot at 65# with an arrow over 400 grains in weight.
