Default RE: mighty mite limb is cracked

Didn't mathews have this problem a while back? It seems like a few years ago there were alot of people complaining about bad limbs or something. I could be wrong, but I seem to remember something to that effect. I think all bow companies go thru problems like this, the key is how they work thru it and how they treat thier customers in the mean time. It does suck that it's happening now that they are getting really popular. Then, that seems to be when this kind of thing happens.

If it makes anyone feel any better, which I don't suppose it will, my mighty might is perfect. Now finnish flaws, no cracks, no nothing. I absolutely love it. I did nick the string playing around with the No Peep taking the peep sight in and out. Now I am down one strand on the string. I should get a new string, but I am going to wait until the season is over before I mess with it. Can't afford it any way even if I wanted to.

I would like to add that I think my bow has only been in a press once at the pro shop when I got it. Maybe, I can't really think of anything they would have needed to press it for? They didn't install a peep or anything and the modules go in without pressing the bow. I use a bowmaster exclusively at home, rarely does a shop press any of my bows.

Just out of curiousity, what is the proper press to use with these bows? What should we look for when we go to a shop? Should it be a press that puts pressure as close to the tips of the limbs as possible? Pictures would be a big help. That way when we take our bows to a shop and see them put in the press if it's wrong we can yell "STOP! Don't do that". And then maybe look for a different shop that has the right press or something.

I'm amazed at how little these bow companies look into a shop before letting them sell thier line. I can imagine there are some shop owners telling people that bowtechs are not that good simply because they are ignorant and don't know how to work on them. Then they push a different line because they are personally more comfortable with it. Or someone gets a bow and isn't happy with it, and it turns out the only reason is because it's set up wrong or something. It's a shame, but I know it happens.
