For what new bows cost, I don't think you're expecting too much. You can buy a new Sako rifle and a nice scope that'll shoot, quite literally, bullet holes out to a few hundred yards, (and if you do your part, they'll even be touching) for what it takes to rig out a new bow. And that rifle will last at least your lifetime. Seems like people have gotten used to settling for whatever these arrogant manufacturers put out, rather than demand that something they pay nearly $1k for be pretty much perfect and trouble free (and if not, immediately replaced without question). I understand problems may arise in any manufactured object, but for what these people are charging for a bow, they should be bending over backward to make us, as consumers of their high-priced products, happy. Trust me, if I ever find a company with that philosophy, they'll have a customer for life.
