On another note are the bows made nowadays to,run maybe 5-10 years then wear out to the point a rep event is required?
I replace strings but that is it on my bow....
I don't think so, but we haven't had them long enough. Older, slower, (therefore theoretically more durable) bows are still in use. The current "type" is around 5 years old and outside of blowtechs well publicised issues, there hasn't been any widespread concerns that I've heard of.

Strings wear out. Limbs sometimes crack. Aside from physical damage to cams or risers, there's not much else...The bearings in the rest of the bow should never wear out, unless there was a bad batch.
