if you send your bow off for a supertune does it void the warranty?
I don't think it will void the warranty, but My guess is that what a 'supertune' means will vary with who does it. Based on tweak info that Nuts and Bolts provided, I would guess that some people play with the cam rotation and cable lengths to perhaps even intentionally deviate from specs.Don't see why it would. A "supertuning", if there were such a thing.....ukey:. will merely bring the bow into spec.....no more, no less.
Q: Can I use aftermarket string and cable sets on my BowTech bow?
A: Many aftermarket string and cable(s) sets are only “close” on the lengths and diameters. This can drastically slow down, affect the performance, and significantly reduce the ease of tuning your bow. Use of aftermarket string and cable sets, and failure of that product resulting in further damage, will void the lifetime warranty of your bow.
No it does not. All they say is if they find that to be the cause of the problem then they reserve the right to void the warranty. If what you put on is 22 strands or larger and the specs are correct then there is no issue.remember that with some companies (I know Bowtech and Diamond), placing aftermarket strings voids your warranty...

... Time for a new dealer. He should be more open to the fact that there may be people out there, who he doesn't personally know, who know more than he does about tuning a bow.. and he should also be open to the opportunity to help an archer after someone who does it wrong screws it up. Anyone who has a blanket "I won't touch it if..." type policy where there is no risk to their personal safety, isn't worth doing business with. "I'm going to have to charge you hourly to undo this mess" is a much more appropriate response.THe same dealer told me that he will not touch a bow that he has sold that comes back with a problem after being sent out for a "super tune" or with a custom string and cables that he did not install or endorse.
I just made a set of 20 strands strings for my sentinel but have not installed them yet. I am not really worried about the warranty but want to avoid having anything go wrong.No it does not. All they say is if they find that to be the cause of the problem then they reserve the right to void the warranty. If what you put on is 22 strands or larger and the specs are correct then there is no issue.
