    I bought my first Bowtech Pro 40, Kevin leaves Bowtech
    I buy a ROSS, they go under
    I buy an Elite, Kevin leaves Elite

    :eek: I am a curse to bow companies

    I would look at the common denominator for 2 out 3 of those companies and I think you'll find the root cause. There is no arguing with his designs though.

    I know what you mean; I shot a Fred Bear bow for 15 years and he died. I blamed myself for owning a bow with his name on it. Now I change bows regularly hoping no one will die.

    Its not really a curse, your the only South paw on the planet that shoots a bow, and no one wants to build you a custom lefty bow :eek::D

    The last one i ordered I was lied too, the bow I ordered was "canceled", so it was replaced with a different model and the bow showed up in the wrong color.:cool:

    Let's just say, I am done.

    I will be shooting the ROSS line from here on out.
