my brother has BARNETT for 10 years now and has had no problems with it.

he only shot it about 20 times ,he takes it out, shoots 2 shots in bullseye at 20 yards,then goes out and gets a buck with it each year.

mine, i have HORTON and the limbs split after about 60 shots.

horton told me any bow that sits for 10 years could split on limbs,mine did .

i also dry fired it 2 times by mistake,so maybe that split limbs, horton felt it was AGE of bow not dryfire.
