Well, I thought that in all fairness it would be appropriate for me to post any negative experiences that I might have with any of the bows that I shoot.

Enter the Hoyt Razortec.

To make a long story short.....3rd shot through the chrony....

..BOOM!!


...The bow explodes and carbon shards are sent everywhere.

I stand there daized as I don't know what just happened. Then I look at the bow and notice that the limbs are in a recurve shape now and the string/cables are hanging loose in front of me. There is a rather large shard of carbon fiber pultruding from the Sims cable dampener and my arrow is nowhere to be seen.

Upon close inspection it appears that the cable guard slide (new style for Hoyt this year) cracked along one of the cable grooves thus creating a sharp edge. That sharp edge cut one of the cables and sent parts scattering everywhere.

All in all there is nothing visibly wrong with the bow though I do intend to tear apart and carefully inspect everything. I just got off the phone with the dealer and he is ordering two new cableas and a new cable slide for the bow.

Now all I have to do is wait...<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>
