Where to buy Bowtech new??

[TheHunt]

 I usually figure out what I want.  Look up the dealers close to my zip code and put them in a spreadsheet.  Then start calling them as to who gives you the best deals. 

Then go to the dealer... If the bow looks like it has been shot about 10 or more times I knock off 100 dollars min.  Otherwise walk.  I am not going to pay new for a used bow.  Some shops will allows people to shoot your bow that you ordered before you get to it. 

I usually buy a bow every 10 years or so...

I have had a bunch of new bows the last 5-6 years and the D340 has been hands down the best bow I have owned.  Your buddy will love it.

Can't for the life of me understand what anyone would want with a Bowtech except to save money on a bow. I considered one years back and found that Bowtech makes a fairly junky product. Funny thing is though that the Diamond brand of bows are terrific. Hope your freind did a little research first. May i suggest looking at the Diamond brand or Mission ?

Just an opinion , not trying to start a ruckus.

What ignorant statements. Diamond and bowtech are made with EXACTLY the same process and materials. Diamond is their single cam line and bowtech is their binary cam line. And I dont think a 800-900$ destroyer is saving money. The quality of all the major bow companies, Bowtech, Hoyt, Mathews, PSE, Elite, and Darton is VERY good, they have to be to compete with each other. The bottom line is as long as you stick to good brands all you have to do is shoot a lot of bows and find one you love. Dont get a bow just because its what everyone else shoots (unless you actually like how the bow feels).

Thanks for that. The limbs cracking and bearings falling out and other issues with the Bowtechs are exactly what i was referring to. Anyone that thinks that every bow made by all the major brand names is good is either crazy or a bit foolish. It is similar to the truck debate that has gone on for years. Fords , Chevys , and Dodges aint as good as each other either.

I was actually told by a salesman that is an archer that he would buy a Diamond long before a Bowtech for several reasons but the top one being the customer service he got from Hoyt and Bowtech sucked and the products they put out left alot to be desired. He said he owns several bows that are Mathews , Mission , Hoyt , and Diaomond.

I didnt just pull the info i posted out of thin air guys. I just heard one company was better than another and was trying to share that so someone dont get a piece of crap that they will be unhappy with. Sorry if that is being ignorant.

 If you deal with customer service from Diamond you are dealing with the same customer service that is Bowtech.

Q: What is the difference between BowTech and Diamond bows?
A: Both brands are made in the same facility and with the same quality of components. The main difference between BowTech and Diamond bows is the cam technology. BowTech bows utilize the Binary™ dual cam system and Diamond bows utilize a single cam.

I have had a bowtech general for 3 years now... not a single problem with it.  One of the smoothest, quietest shooting bows I have ever shot.  If you look long and hard enough on the internet you can dig up dirt on any major bow manufacturer.  There will always be people who have something bad to say.

[Sliverslinger]

Lucky Shot Archery in Chehalis is a Bowtech and Mathews dealer, among many others.

[steelhead13]

I have had my bowtech for 4 years and the limbs did crack last year in the middle of my permit hunt. Or at least that is when i noticed it.  But they were great to deal with, replaced them no questions asked.  Lucky shot is the place to go!

If you are not within 30 miles as the crow flies of a Bowtech dealer, than you can order from Huntersfriend.com  They set the bow up to your specs, paper tune it and give you a sheet with KE reading, FPS per your setup and a whole lot more.  Free shipping too.

I just ordered and received a Bowtech Assassin from them, it's a great deal althought waiting 2 weeks kinda sux

 

This is incorrect.  You must be further than 100 miles from the nearest dealer to order direct from them.  If you got one and are within this distance I'm sure that the local dealers will have something to say.  This deal only applies to folks that live in the far north and south east corners of Washington.

If you are going to buy a new bow you need to support your local dealers.  Otherwise your local dealers will hand you a nice bill for support.

The bow has been purchased from Cory and Chuck at XXX Archery.

[FANATIC]

I am the guy that was in the market for a Bowtech. I ended up driving to Rainer,OR after talking to Cory @ xXx. I will say it was well worth the drive! Cory told me in advance that he wold not be there, but Chuck would. He spent a couple hrs with me setting up the bow with my accessories and making sure it was tuned to my form. Its was one of the most positive buying experiences I have had. I even got a couple shooting tips! I would not hesitate to drive back down to do business there again. These guys really seem to know their stuff.

PS
Its the Destroyer 340, and so far I love it! Shoots great, quiet, and alot faster than my previous bow.

[Matt]

The guys at xXx are a great group and will go out of their way to help you.  Even if you shoot a K-mart bow.

Glad to hear your happy with the new bow
