RE: AAHHHHHHhhhh my bow's buggered up!!!!!!!
WWAG,
I also routinely check everything and had gone over every single screw on that bow just a few days prior with less than 100 shots since. I also had never until that point have any screw whatsoever including the mod screws ever loosen on it which is why it caught me off gaurd. I have heard of companies replacing risers after being driven over by trucks and strings being cut by broadheads with resulting expploded bows. When a company steps up to the plate above and beyond they have my business forever. I also had an issue with Bohning Blazers last winter and the way they treated me has also bought them my business forever. Bowtech doesn't have to do anything but regardless they certainly made a happy customer out of me and that's just good business seeing as I tend to buy alot of bows and may have influenced a person or two into buying a Bowtech.

RE: AAHHHHHHhhhh my bow's buggered up!!!!!!!
ORIGINAL: walks with a gimp
Is it just me or are there others out there that do routine maintence and checks on their bows often? I wouldn't hold someone else responsible if I didn't get the oil filter tight on my truck when I changed oil and it ruined my motor. I don't think it's BowTech's responsibility to supply another set of limbs to correct someone's lack of routine maintence but maybe they will anyways.
Good luck..

I seriously had no doubts that Pat and BowTech wouldn't take care of you to the fullest, Terry; I'm glad to see they did exactly what was expected.
Class company, or I wouldn't be shooting their bows.
I also took this from page 7 of my owner's manual:
"It is important to make sure module screws are properly installed with Loc-Tite. Warranty DOES NOT cover module screws that loosen and cause limb damage."
So... technically, they wouldn't be obligated -- but, like I said,a class company.

Well done Greg! A man who reads a manual and even gives a ref. to the page.
I'm kind of being funny, but in a serious way. Good post really!
Don't own one of their bows but their advertising is first rate.[8D]A class act for sure.

RE: AAHHHHHHhhhh my bow's buggered up!!!!!!!
Well I think the point being made here guy's is that BowTech has stepped above their obligation in order to keep their customer happy ,this is exactly what make's this bow company the very best in my book's .
I learned the lesson on mod screw's very early in my archery career ,that you need to pay very close attention and check all screw's and accessories to be sure everything's tight ,I've had it happen to me and heard of many,many happening's ,sometime's it's not pretty and unfortunately for Terry his is one of the ugly one's ,but BOWTECH has shown us once again why they're the best .
I just hope for the guy's that never thought of mod screw's and accessories that they'll learn from this thread ,because it could be you next .A little loc-tite and regular check's will go along way .

Ducsauce!
If your putting loc tite on ,be sure you use the blue loc tite, 242 Is the number ,if you use the other you'll never get those screw's out again ,be sure it the BLUE.
