well i guess after the first one the company thinks its just the person pressing the bow wrong or doing something to it. then after they get alot of the same complaints its a noticeable problem.

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't most bow manuf. these days claim they "dry fire" all their bows thousands of times before they get sold to the general public ❓ Now BowTech may not be one to claim that but I know I've seen it some where. I think that should be a industry standard before they can put them in the hand's of the general archer.

well most say they do.. but bowtechs problem is limbs breaking at full draw.. not breaking off a dry fire.. id rather it break through a dry fire any day over it breaking at full draw.

Your thinking of Highcountry Arcery. They have a demo model that has been dryfired over 7,000 times with no damage. Nobody dryfires each bow too much liability. Yes I shoot a bowtech, The model that is being recalled is a new limb design. Be expecting a recall on the PSE x-Force.It too has a new limb design that is experiencing some problems. Both of these designs are only a year old and in my opinion thats not enough time to be considered "proven". you should always expect some kind of problems with "new technology"
