When they first came out YES this was a problem with some bows.A guy I shoot 3D with got one that had a crack in it and when he took it back they looked at all of them on the rack and found another one that was cracked.NOT PUTTING DOWN THE BOW!!!!! Just stating facts.I shot one myself but it wasnt what I wanted in a bow. They got to come out with one with a longer riser then I would look at them again.
