Just a quick question, for arguments sake. I had some problems with my Mathews Q2XL this year with limbs splitting. I figure about any make bow will have problems after shooting a year at 5 grains (literally thousands of shots). I replaced them in July and when drawing the limb bolts down I heard a cracking sound. I then took the bow back apart and the limb was cracked approx. 1 1/2" up from the cut-out in the limb where the limb bolt goes through. Needless to say I sent them back to Mathews and they sent me another set. Upon reassembly, with the string and cable not even being on the bow I drew the limbs down and both cracked exactly the same as the previous ones. Well by this time I was questioning something else being wrong so I got Mathews to send me another set of limbs, new limb pockets and new limb bolts. The day they arrived our Mathews rep. just happened to be at our shop and I had him look over everything and he actually put the bow together himself. I'll let you guess what happened, yes the limbs cracked when they were drawn down. He called Matt McPherson himself and Matt said that the cracks wouldn't affect the performance of the bow. How could it not? This is a 70 lb. bow and after all this it would at the best reach 68 pounds, but nothing's wrong? Seems to me if you take a solid piece of any material and have it crack even as small an amount as 1-1/2" it isn't going to be as strong as it once was. Am I crazy? Can anyone help enlighten me on this? Thanks
