i guess i'm not being clear. of course he never handed me back a bow with cracked limbs and said shoot it. i should have said "when he installed this last set of brand new limbs" he backed out the bolts 1/4 turn and said it would put less pressure on them and, in turn, they would last longer. it could be the dealer, he's the only one who pressed this set, but he's sold about 80 bowtechs this year - he sells so many he's got a tally by the register, sells matthews, hoyt, hca and others and works on them all. he's been doing this a long time. when the middle set started delaminating i called him, he said bring it in, looked at it, and said i'll have them replaced, but it would be ok to shoot it until the new ones come in. there were no cracks in the limb. all 3 times have been the bottom limb.
