Default When it rains....It pours!!!

Well, I went to my local range last week to shoot some. I took my 2006Bowtech/Diamond Techunter with me to shoot and as I took it out of the case my fingers felt the slightest of snag on the underside of the limb. Upon further inspection there is a very very small layer of limb separating and breaking through the camo finish.....Crap!

So,I packed up and took it home, now for those of you who remember I purchased that bow in a garage sale for $65.00 and used it all last year so I'm not too bummed about it and I might just purchace new limbs for it or just part it out on e-bay or something, I don't know.

Well.....it gets better. I go home and decide to dust off my backup bow (2005 Browning Oasis) well wouldn't you know it, I notice a small (half inch long) crack along the outside of the limb about four inches from the limb bolt right smack in the middle of the limb........Double crap!!

To make matters worse, I just sold off three other bows I had laying around thinking "I'm never gonna shoot them again, I might as well sell them to someone who will", by-by went my Browning Blood Brother, Browning Boss Tracker and Browning Trophy Magnum II.

Some of you might also remember I traded my Ross 334 eariler this year so that's gone too!

As it is I'm left with two broken bows (both purchased used) and my Browning Rage One (the one I found in the garbage). Like I said I can either purchase new limbs for both or spend the money on a new bow to use as a primary and keep the Rage One (very trusty) as my backup bow.


Not a good few weeks for bows in the BigJ house. By the way, these two limb failures are the first I have ever had in the 20 plus years of compound bow shooting....I guess the odds finally caught up to me.


Oh, one more thing...........Crap!
