also they stated very clearly that any damage to one of their bows which had a draw lock on it would VOID the warranty????
This "Draw-Lock Thingy" that you so fondly talk about, has been on the market for 16 years, and there are no reports of causing damage to any bow. A Crossbow limb and a compound bow limb are made of the SAME THING. FYI, if you install a high performance chip in your diesl truck, you void the warranty $45.000 truck. Guess what, everyone does it. Does the Draw-Loc void the warranty on some bow, yes. So What! a new set of limbs are just over $100.00. Big Woop! Look at all the money I have saved by not having to buy a crossbow, and I still get to shoot my bow that I spent almost a thousand bucks on. It's a "NO BRAINER" RIGHT???? Try it you'll like it.
