Another Cracked Limb on my Bowtech Pro 38 ****UPDATE*****

kjclark7 · 08-30-2008, 06:38 PM

well i was just in my backyard shooting the new arrows i made (just put quikspins on) and i noticed that i was shooting low with the new arrows. both from 20 and 30 yards. i was grouping very well but they were going a couple inches low.
so on my 20th or so arrow, at full draw i heard a distinct snap come from my bow. i quickly let down and inspected and found a large piece of limb cracked off on the lower limb.
now this is the second time since having the bow (bought it new in 2003) that i had a problem with the limbs. it always seems to happen right before the season too. now i have to go to a dealer and see if i can get some new limbs.
i will try and post pics but it looks like the limbs is about to fold in half. i think i lucked out with not having the bow blow up in my face at full draw.

Do they cover the repairs?

Hopefully your season is still relatively far enough away to get you set up and ready.

Matthews Lifetime Warranty is reason enough to take a look at one...

bowtech has lifetime warranty on their bows for the original ower so i should be covered. they covered me the last time which was in 2004. but what they did was put 60lb limbs on instead of the 70lb ones i had bought. i will make sure that i get the correct ones this time.
my season starts in 1 month so i will be on the phone tomorrow to see what shop will do the work.

That's crazy.

When it happens once you could call it a quirk. But twice it would seem like there is a problem. If it were me I want some assurance from the company that this won't happen again

Just because I'm that way I read some of your past posts. You make it easy to go back to the first occurance.

A first glance it looked like there were several more posts here than I counted till I glanced at the dates. Funny stuff.

Let us know how this one turns out. Shouldn't be to hard to line things back up.

do you have 60 or 70 lb limbs?? and what poundage is you bow set to??
