Default Jennings Archery what happened?

Buddy of mine has a Jennings Speedstar bow(1998) which was set at 63#'s and has a 70 lb max weight. He had major shoulder surgery a year ago and has not recovered completely and compounded with working fulltime and a side job has no time to fiddle with the bow. He asked me if I was interested. I went over his house and drew the bow about halfway to its draw length 29" and the bottom limbs face lamination snapped. He told me he had not shot the bow more then 100 times since owning it and was totally disgusted. He called Jennings so-called customer service and they told him to mail them the bow and they figured a couple of hundred bucks should cover it. He basically told them to stick it where the sun doesn't shine. They have been bought by Escalade something or other and this guy told me the CS rep at Jennings was totally disinterested in his dilemna. Heres how I feel about it, Compound bows are relatively high priced commodities in most cases surpassing new rifle or shotgun prices when properly outfitted. Then these companies advertise limited lifetime warranties... Helen Keller could tell this bow was hardly used at all how do they get away without fixing or replacing this bow gratis?.
