Design Flaw?
 

Well as many of you know ive had problems out of my browning, im now on my 3rd one. 1one, the limb cracked, 2nd one string broke and blew up on me, and this one, my 3rd, the string is doing the same thing the 2nd one did. The serving is fraying. What should I do? i dont want them to send me another one exactly like it only to have it happen again, and i cant afford to eat the money. Its on ebay right now so i guess ill make a decision if it doesnt sell....

A.) why I don't buy on ebay.
B.) gibblets servings don't come undone like others.

He really does build a good string! Hope things work out.

RE: Design Flaw?
 

You may have some spurs on your cams, and thats why the strings are fraying. Bring the bow to your proshop and have them check that out, then order a string from gibblet. Also, did you list your bow as having string problems? If not you should.

Duh...Buy a Mathews!

RE: Design Flaw?
 

Yeah, I would list that it has the serving coming undone. Definately get an aftermarket string, either from Giblet or a company. Factory strings are usually just fine, but sometimes that happens due to the fact that they really aren't focusing on the string, but the bow. Good luck!

One word......Bowtech!!! JK, buyerbeware. Ebay is alright forsmaller purchases..but notsomeones baby.

RE: Design Flaw?
 

What kind of Browning do you have?

RE: Design Flaw?
 

i didnt buy it on ebay, i have it on ebay to sell

RE: Design Flaw?
 

Where axactly is the string fraying? Is it a release issue? COuld be alot of things but without more info it would be hard to diagnose. Beside checking to see if there is a spur on the cam, check to see if the cams are leaning. Is the string coming into contact with something....clothing, arm gaurd? Keep it liberally waxed also. I have used some strings for several years with an application of string wax and a piece of leather to work it into the string.....rub the heck out of it helps heat up the wax and it penetrates the string.

and its a browning f5 tornado

heres a picture of it

RE: Design Flaw?
 

I had the string blow apart on my Browning Oasis just last year. In my opinion the factory string/cables aren't to good. It's a crap shoot, I have had factory Browning strings serve me well (pun intended) and others like the Oasis come apart within a years shooting. I'm just happy the bow wasn't hurt.....great shooting bow for sure.

Good luck selling your F5 Tornado.........your gonna like what you see in the Ross.

RE: Design Flaw?
 

I think what he meant was the fact someone is going to buy your bow that you have had problems with.

RE: Design Flaw?
 

i just hope i can get rid of it without eating too much money, if it doesnt sell on ebay ill call browning AGAIN and see what they will do for me but i will definately make it clear i dont want the same bow. Maybe ill get lucky and they wil offer me an Illusion [8D]and then i could sell it and have enough money for a ross ;)

RE: Design Flaw?
 

well to be honest i didnt notice it until today when I was putting the bow away, it had already been on ebay for a day or so and i cant take it off. I doubt it will sell and then i will call browning and take it up with them. More than likely they will pay for a new string and then ill go back to trying to sell it.

RE: Design Flaw?
 

Well let's see, are you standing on the wrong side of the bow Lefty?[8D] Who installed your limb savers? I think you'd get a lot better result from them if you put them closer to the end of the limbs. Especially true of that top one.

that was the idiots at my OLD (and i stress) OLD shop [8D]They werent very qualified i dont believe
