I would definitely be straightening that out. I wouldn't fly off the handle just yet but I certainly wouldn't be appreciative of having to make two trips. If I found out it was the shops mistake and that Parker actually sent the two limbs then I would drop them like a hot rock and never use them again for anything. If I found out it was Parker then a tounge lashing is in order and then move on. JMO

Well I talked with the guy from Parker and he told me that he did send both limbs to the dealer for replacement, he said he would give him a call and get to the bottom of it asap and then offerd to finish the job himself.Well to make a long story short the dealer called me back and said " I thought you wanted me to make the call on replacing the lower limb" My response was " I asked you when I picked the bow up yesterday did you replace both limb's and you told me "YES I did".He knows I cought him.So Parker did stand up and make things right which I was happy with.I can't blame them for a deadbeat dealer.Anyway I'm not one to hold a grudge so I am going to let him fix it and I will not be going back there for anything.I'm thinking of going to a Mathews or Bowtech.Any suggestions?Or did I just open a can-o-worms...HAHA

I'm not one to hold a grudge.......I will not be going back there for anything.
Sounds like a grudge to me!

I'm thinking of going to a Mathews or Bowtech.Any suggestions?
If you are seriously considering switching bows then check out the new Bowtech Binary Cam bows or the Mathew's Switchback. I have an Allegiance and love it. I am sure Mathew's makes a great bow, but I have heard about a few problems with their Switchbacks.

Oh I would ream them a new rear end. Beat him over the head with that cracked limb, get um and get um good. Don,t you rest until this man pays and pays dearly. Make him think twice before he messes with the likes of you. Flare out your chest, tighten your lips, clinch your fists, and march right up to him and demand that new limb. Don,t take no for an answer, if necessary $itch slap him 5 times to the left and 5 times to the right. Don,t even hesitate to throw a chop to his lying throat, followed by an open hand slap to the ears. If you feel a head butt to the bridge of his nose is in order than by god you do it. Gouge his eyes with your thumbs and knee him in the sac! If none of this works run like hell!

I agree with BigBull's on this matter ,check with Parker first . I'm afraid I'd be giving someone hell for this as well.

Bigbull you're right one slick dealer. Call parker back and ask them if they sent both limbs.

I am truely happy that you were able to get the issue resolved .... Glad to see Parker lived up to their word and sent both limbs.... Parker has a very good customer service track record IMO. As for the Bow Shop that Short Limbed you well unfortunatly those kind of shops are out there... there are a few around here that are EXTREMELY overpriced, unknowledgeable, disqustingly dishonest and seriously lacking in the tech area of various brands of bows and I wouldnt let them do any work on my bow ... I wouldnt let them touch my bow's with a ten foot poll!!!!! But I avoid them at all cost... unfortuanatly sometimes we have to experince them to learn our lesson.... it took me awhile to find a wonderful Archery Pro Shop... I also had to run the gamet of bad bow shops till I found keeper. I would make it perfectly clear to Parker that the Bow Shop short limbed you and was dishonest about the matter and then DROP THAT BOW SHOP LIKE A HOT ROCK..... after all they are the Representative between you the customer and Parker Bows... what the customer dosent know is that the ball being dropped wasnt Parkers Fault but it was the Dealers fault... but the customer many times dosent know that and they just blame it on Parker..... AND THE BOW SHOP DOSENT WANT TO TAKE THE BLAME THEY HAVE EARNED FOR FEAR OF LOSSING FUTURE BUISNESS...I for one as a Company Owner would not like to have a dealer such as the one you delt with representing my company.I Hope all goes well with your new limbs and ... Give that Parker another try

Glad to hear that Parker handled the situation like it should have been handled. It's a shame the Pro Shop experience turned out to be crappy. Now that you have found out where the problem came from I would drop that pro shop and never spend another dime there. On the other hand I would tell everyone that asked how pleased I was with Parker's customer service.
