I have never heard of problems with limbs on any of Hoyt bows.My 06 Trykon has thousands of shoots through it as well as my friends Vectrix using the same 5 layer limbs and they are perfect.The limbs on these bows were tested for 1000+ dry fired shots at full weight and length before the design can go into production so 350 shoots with an arrow is nothing.I think limbs were nicked or damaged in some way prior to you shooting or it could of been the rare manufacturing reject.Call hoyt I know they would like to find out why limb failed.Your shooting themost durablebow available so dont get discouraged with it.

Yours is the first one I've seen or heard of, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Every bow manufacturer has one now and again, it's just a bummer when you're the one it happens to.

Take it back to the shop it was purchased from, and Hoyt will replace the limbs. They have a lifetime warranty.
