That's some funny stuff there, not funny that it happened-NOT AT ALL, funny that we are having to break out our old MATHEWS to hold us over while our 04 bowtechs are getting repaired.

I was one of them, had to use my 1996 Z-light on 3 different hunts this year do to 1st - creaky limb pockets and then 2nd- cracked limbs (2 hunts worth).

My Z-light has had to replace it's limbs also, so no make is flawless. I'm just happy, that when in need the oldy but goodies are there for us.

Back-up bows are a must, no matter what brand, or how much you paid for it.

I like my Patriot a lot, and had it not been for the limb issue would be bragging on it right and left. But since it has i just keep my trap shut.
