Its a good thing bowtech has one of the best warrantys in the business .  Oh yeah its probably the most used too.
I hope everything works out for you and you're up and shooting again before hunting season.
  yeah I definately agree  :sry:

Too true, though they will only stand behind the warranty if you have a dealer that is willing to make it right for you. If not you are sh*t out of luck. I will never shoot a bowtech again. Hope everything works out of you sliverslinger.

I joined the club tonight.  My '08 Guardian bottom limb delaminated at the bottom cam and the cam flew into my forearm.  I'm just glad I didn't get hurt.

I'm still thinking it might have been foul play.  I was outshooting Tyson (Prime Time) and I think he wanted the nights practice to be over.   :tup:

Ah! No foul play here! The Martin Firecat has held up to ya all year until tonight, plus I'll blame it on being tired from shooting with the ol' man earlier.  :chuckle: Better keep an eye on that bow of yours once you get it fixed til bow season is over, would hate to see your wife filing away on the new limbs to keep you outta the woods. She did good work on these ones.  :chuckle:

Silverslinger- glad to see that the local shop is taking care of you.  Just one more reason to shop locally instead of the internet. 

Glad to hear that both of you were not hurt

I had a Reflex for 7 years and that happened to me last year. Hoyt replaced it, no questions asked with a new Turbo Hawk. I imagine Bow Tech'll do the same

Glad to hear you are ok, that would scare the hell out of me!
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

my dads bow is at hoyt right now because it wont tune no matter what 2 shops did to it. hoyt got it said they couldnt tune it either, they were going to try and put different cams on it and try again. im hoping that doesnt work and they will replace it with a new bow as well. nothin like a free upgrade. only downside is he hasnt been able to practice because it took the shop 3 weeks to send it to hoyt and now hoyt has had it for 2. hoyt said they would call me first thing this morning but no call from them. the shop said they would call me tomorrow with an answer from hoyt. so lets just say this has been a complete nightmare and a new bow for pops would be a nice way of smoothing over the frustration and keeping my faith with hoyt.
they call me the bloodhound cause i can track a wounded animal in the rain for 2 days when all it has is a splinter.. sniff sniff awooo
