The string exploded, peep went flying (I found it about 15 ft away) and the bow made a horrible loud sound.
I took it back to the shop and told him to look it over. I spoke to him last night and found that the lower limb had a hairline crack. He called the company and they are sending him new limbs, cams, cables and string. Everything new but the riser. You can't beat that for CS. And all this because of a faulty string.
