RE: Fred Bear Instinct Problems...Please Help!
Believe me I know how you feel I bought a brand spanking new barnett x-bow and after 30 shots the left limb split while it was cocked and the cam smashed the crap out of my hand and I paid over $400 for it.
I would take you bow back to where you bought it you probably paid 300-400 or more for it and just tell them like it is, This bow has a problem and you would like a new one or your money back. If they give you a hassle you can contact Bear Archery and tell them about it and they'll ask you to send it in and they'll fix it.
But either way the bow has a problem or is defective and needs to be fixed before it comes apart in you hands
