Default RE: bow shop question

ORIGINAL: bigbulls

the limb wasnt broken...what happened was my cam was bent or something was poking out of the cam and everytime i drew the bow back it rubbed against the limb thus withering away at it...so it was messed up
Sounds like your module screw backed out from your cam and was rubbing the inside of the limb. If this is the case then it is entirely your fault that it happened. It is the responsibility of the shoter to periodically check things like the tightness of screws and such.

Bowtech will likely foot the bill for a new set of limbs but do not be mad if it has to come from your pocket. You will also likely need to pay the shop a labor charge for changing limbs for you.
Module screw is what I was thinking, too. Not to say it can't happen, but people don't know how much force it takes to actually bend a cam---like maybe driving a truck over the bow.

Who foots the bill? I won't get into that part. I'd go back to dealer A where you bought it. Maybe it'll be a warranty thing. Maybe not. But frankly, almost any shooter should have heard or felt something like this long before limb damage became an issue.
