RE: cracked limb from bowtech
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I though Bowtech got their limbs from an outside vendor used by several other companies. If that is the case, a "bad batch" of limbs can be sold to any of several manufacturers, and flaws in those limbs may not begin to show up until after they are in the hands of many customers, after many shots.
All companies are subject to such problems. It is how the company handles the problems that sets them apart.
Bowtech has a history of handling such problems (if one indeed exists), quite well; their customer service is second to none.
