General Questions

Where are Bowtech bows made?

Bowtech bows are manufactured and assembled in Eugene, Oregon
Learn more at our About Us page.

How often should I change my string and cable?

We suggest you change your strings and cables every 1-2 years. If you are seeing excessive wear such as, serving separation or fraying, you will want to consider changing your string and cables. It is a good idea to inspect your string and cable for this kind of wear before shooting your bow.

Will my bow shoot faster if I get a heavier limb poundage?

The IBO speed advertised is achieved with a 70lb bow with a 350 grain arrow. The IBO measurement allows the flexibility of using different poundage bows as long as the arrow weight is 5 grains per pound of draw weight. Because of this a 50lb bow paired with a 250 grain arrow (50×5=250) will shoot the same speed as a 70lb bow paired with a 350 grain arrow (70×5=350).

Can I replace the cams on my BT-X to change from a BT-X 31″ to a BT-X 28″?

You would not be able to change just the cams on the BT-X to convert between the two variations because the limbs, flex guard, string, and cables are not the same between two cam systems.

Technology Questions

What is the difference in the let-off of my bow between the settings on the Powerdisc?

Mathews Bow Serial Number Location List

The settings on the PowerDisc are changing the draw cycle of the bow and should not affect the let-off.

What is the difference in speed between the PowerShift settings?

There will be a 4-7 fps difference between the settings on the PowerDisc. The Performance setting (1) will give you the most performance of the bow, while the Comfort setting (3) will give you a ultra smooth draw cycle. the Classic setting (2) will split the difference between the Performance and the Comfort settings.

Can I put a Flex Guard cable containment system on any bow?
