its not just Parker. in the last year ive seen Bowtechs xbow limbs crapping out. xbow manufacturers walk a fine line in taking care of customers for the future and not rubbing them the wrong way. if you been around crossbows you will see that a certain percentage of these so called blow ups are really owner operator error. many times i believe the owners may not know what happened and blame it on the bow when the damage was due to them causing a full or partial dry fire. other things like not keeping an eye on string serving wear or improper or damaged bolts. a good company will usually help. from what ive seen many times at no cost.
