Hey Guys, I am trying to decide on which bow to purchase but I am somewhere in the middle..I am looking at a Bowtech General and a Ross which is now owned by Bowtech..I know the General is probably better but I like the smoothness of the Ross...Does anyone out there shoot a Ross??? Please feel free to throw comments or ideas my way..

    I would stay away from the General. Huge recall because the limbs are blowing everywhere. The local shop sent all of theirs back as well as the 2 they sold. If you like the Ross go for it, but make sure you try all the rigs out there. My pick of the '08's was a Hoyt Katera XL. I did not buy one, because I still like my Vectrix but a new bow is in the works for '09

    General should be ok by now, "they said" it only affected 1% of the generals. And those were ones produced between Dec. 07 and July 08

    I have a Ross 336. Really don't like the quiver from Ross or the grip. Has moderate speed and quiet. May use it for a finger bow after this season. Would be hard to beat a HOYT. I would rather buy from a company that has been making the same product for awhile. Ross as you know was bought buy Bow Tech in Oregon. Good luck on your decision. BBQGUY
