Bowtech Support - Does it have to be this hard?

[Fatcamp]

That's no fun tho.


Things are slow around here. I appreciate new topics.

I'm pissed about banning the "Alone" thread guy. That had massive potential.

I've had same day resolutions with Bowtech on issues I caused and warranty issues every time. String serving isn't an issue at all, it is an item intended to be replaced after expected wear. That's why it is not a permanent part of the string. Same thing for fletchings when you get to the point of having when dinged up or torn off... it's not cause for your arrow manufacturer to send you new stuff.

If you tie any good nock point and/or d-loop, it is very likely you will get separation underneath those knots. This looks like the cause of your gaps, and if your at home now shop is in capable of reserving, then move the serving gap to beneath your d-loop and the issue will be no more.

Were these the same pictures you sent to bowtech?



Found the problem. Can't take anyone seriously who is wearing Crocs.

People who wear Crocs aren't to be trusted. The mix of sandle, water shoe, and 4wd capability can't be trusted, they are reptilian shape shifters.

I have the materials and tools to reserve... But that is my time and energy on a new string that should be "right". And it is not a skill I have practiced much to date.

It's kind of like you buying your latest [Kuiu, First Lite,...] greatest $500 jacket and then you realize they screwed the zipper sewing up on it. Their response is to re-sew it yourself. You can do it, but you didn't pay top dollar to do that....

I can resolve my own problem. As noted in the previous follow-up post, I already have new strings to put on it. Always do. But now if I want this to be my backup string as planned I have to reserve it or go buy another backup string.

And my point in posting this was not that I can not resolve this, but it is a completely bad business model for any business that has such premium cost of customer acquisition.

I think it would be more akin to resewing a button on, than fixing a zipper. Sure, I would be annoyed, but not trying to send the entire article of clothing back.

I missed that.

I'm guessing that this was self-induced by some of your past threads:

Nock Points... Tying my first

Tying my first nock points. Using BCY Nock String. When I tie them they still want to move. Should they still move? The top one is pretty firm to move, but have tied the bottom one 2x and it is not so firm.

D-Loop (only) vs. Nock Points + D-Loop

As some of my other post have indicated, this is my first pass at some of this... New strings on a bow. Should I: 1. Tie a D-Loop (only) and shoot it for a while, then put a nock point and d-loop on - to let the strings break in? 2. Go ahead and tie the nock point and d-loop before breaking in...

d loop/nock point removal

So I must have foobared my nock points at some point during my tying them or the d-loop. My arrow originally sat centered on the berger hole. Now both with an arrow and a square both are sitting at the top of the berger hole. I am thinking this is going to be a bit high. What is the best way to...

If I was a bow company I wouldn't repair or replace the center serving under warranty on bows either.

This thread is hilarious. Totally made my morning.

All Bowtech bows come with a non-transferable lifetime warranty to the registered original owner. This warranty protects against any failures of the product due to defects in material or workmanship and does not include any damage due to abuse, misuse or modification to the bow’s design. The following exclusions apply. EXCLUSIONS Cables and strings,

See 5MilesBack post above for the reasoning behind this.

The gaps in the serving are from a loop and the bow being shot. Bowtech isn't going to send you new strings. If you don't want to reserve, slide the serving together with a fork. Better solution is to get some angel majesty and reserve.

You could have reserved the string in less time than it took to start this thread.

Say it louder for the people in the back!
