Well, at least they have a good customer service department.

I'd call bowtech myself and see if you can ship it back to them to have it fixed.

You might give Bowtech a call.. but I'm pretty sure that they'll tell you to talk to your dealer 1st.

Some people have all the luck, sometimes its bad and sometimes its good. I do know I talked to a guy that had it happen to two Black Knights about a year back. One came in and crack went the limb in the first week he had the bow. Sent it back, bowtech fixed it and the same thing happened. Send the bow back, bowtech replaced the bow and he sold it as soon as it came back because he was tired of it and since it was fixed he wanted no more to do with it. Might have been other reasons involved to. Another Bowtech shooter I know has put thousands of shots through his ... I think it is a patrioit sc but I'm having a brain fart, and has had no problems. And he doesn't take particularly good care of the bow IMO.

I do agree if I had a bow go on me twice like that there is no way I would shoot it anymore. I would be wary after one limb cracking for no reason but two.. I just could never trust that the bow wasn't going to go bang on opening day. I have backups mind you so it wouldn't be the end of the world but....

I have had my '04 80lb Liberty since 1st of '04, and not one problem....Just like any manufacture there is always going to be a problem with something, pockets milled just enough off to cause limbs to crack, what ever....But Bowtech's Customer Service is top notch and will stand behind their product. Sorry to hear you had such misfortune with yours....
