Pro Shop or so called pro shop???? tell you what you do......
have her give you something in writing saying that since they are a " Pro shop" and know exactly what they are doing and since your bow only has a splinter in it they recommend that its safe for you to shoot and have em sign it - Then when your bow blows apart and you get injured youll have something to back you up in court to pay your hospital bills should you get injured.
DONT SHOOT IT TILL ITS FIXED !!!! and tell them there full of S#$T if they say its safe to shoot- they should know better.[:@]

Sorry to hear about that. Hope it' s fixed fast. Since I (or others) haven' t seen where the splinter is I think I' d have to listen to those who did see it. I' m sure if they thought it was unsafe they would have told you. As with everything though it is up to you to decide what is best for you. (Unfortunately bad things do sometimes happen at the worst moments. We had a guy come into the shop that just got back from an elk hunt about 1 1/2 weeks ago. He was at full draw waiting for a bull to step out at about 20 yards and his top limb just broke about 4" above the limb bolt. Not much he could do back in the mountains.)

Since the 3/4" Hoyt limbs came out, I' ve NEVER seen one crack; and, we' ve sold about 500 of them. I did ask my Rep if he had ever seen a limb problem and he said " Yes, but they are rare" . I have also never seen a cam/bearing problem.

It appears that you probably should have bought that Legacy that you mentioned in another post. You' ve evidently been plagued with every problem imaginable when it comes to bows.

Capstone:

He does sound somewhat like Ryan. He doesn' t seem quite as windy though.
