D rock will tell you they're all bad. Im not sure what model had the limbs that were recalled. But if I went to buy a bow I'd sure do a review check and that goes for every brand.

As far as I know the General is the only Bowtech that had the limbs recalled. The recall was for limbs that don't have the collet.

My comment had some facts.  I think all of the bow tech hate came from a bad set of limbs that have since been fixed by the company. Unless they just stay in business selling junk that blows up for 999....  not everyone's as smart as d rock. He's watched tens of thousands of hours of bowtechs exploding. If we all knew as much as him about bowtechs we wouldn't buy them either...  this I'm an elitist archer that shoots 3D and have seen more bows than you guys so I know more is bs.  I guess I got a one in a million with both my bowtechs. with how quick info travels now a days if they did make faulty bow limbs that broke regularly it would be well known.  They would not be one of the major manufacturers and top bow companies like they are.

Explain these. All newer models, and not one is a general with the recalled limbs. Looking through these there is a repetitive obvious design flaw and I will not buy one because of it. Anyone denying that Bowtech has limb issues just because thier one or two bows hasn't had an issue has thier head in the sand. Supposedly they are making the limbs in house now to make them better, but I won't hold my breath.

All bow companies have some failures.  Finding endless pics online proves nothing. Type in any company and just as many results.  Probably more for Martin.

If you put in a given company of course you'll find problems. The enlightening search is "bow limb problems" and it seems that about 7 out of 10 threads/articles/topics are on Bowtech bows.

Great.
I have a Spyder Turbo.

I guess now I will have to go in search of another midget friendly bow.

I'd shoot any one of those hours with those tiny splinters.
