Default Heyy everyone!

I'm back! and with problems I accidentally dry fired my bow a few months ago and it splintered. I still shot it but it's splintered. No affect on accuracy what so ever. but yea not safe, i know. Where should I send my limb assembly to get them replaced? should i send them straight to the factory? thanks!!

( I wrote up a cool post before this and my server thing timed out[:@]you got the boring version, sorry[8D])

Did you Email them or anything yet? There customer service is great, but I have no idea on how they would be if you where honest with them about it. They could say your fault, not sure. But I will tell you this Thomas, if you get a Excal, you won't be displeased, I was not!

Hey Squirrel. My Pheonix did not like being dry firer either. I did however have a new set of limbs in the mail in just shy of a week. I had the new limbs before I even sent the old ones back.
Hope the customer service for your bow is just as cool. Sure does feel like a kick in the soft spot don't it
