Default RE: No Fluke this time...... CRACKED LIMB

Too bad about your limb, but (like Dave C's limb) it seemed to "go" at a pretty convenient time for you. Hope you can get yours fixed a little quicker than he did.

I still don't really see this as a "rash" of limb failures. Compared to the # of bows out there, the reported problems are not all that many. It seems like the reported problems are with the Liberty, Patriot, and Mighty Mite. I don't recall hearing about problems with the Justice, though you would think they wouldn't be exempt. (same riser + limbs as the MM). Does anyone remember any problems with the Pro 40? I don't recall hearing anything about problems with P40 limbs at all on any message board. Still, if it happens to you, you aren't going to be happy about it.[:'(]

That type of crack gives you pretty good warning before anything dramatic happens. There are a few daredevil speed freaks around here that shot bows (with very underweight arrows) for thousands of shots with longitudinal cracks in them like Buck Magnet's limb. It's not the kind of crack that is going to cause your limb to "explode." Still needs to be replaced, though.[&:]
