Dustin, just so you know, you and I - we're not actually officially "dating," and I don't have my license yet, so I'm not technically an attorney.

Geez, I hate it when guys think we're an item, and really we're "just talking." Germ did the same thing to me last year. He told everyone on here that we were going out, but really I was just flirting. []

We're not dating? Do I need to show everyone the PM which indicates otherwise? And did germ try to spoon with you too?

well.... fine because the GIRL I'm dating has a cooler HNI name, is more attractive than you and has her license. So there!!!

Oh god. First, Germ tells me that I'm a tease... And then you tell me that you've been seeing another hunter... [&o][&o]

This is all too much for me to deal with right now. My life is in ruins.



FYI: Germ didn't just "try" to spoon me. Don't worry though, it's only awkward at first.

I'd be pissed off too if I didn't get a damn hat!![8D] Germ, are you having an affair with AT, it seems you've been spending a lot of time over there, even after I shut down OBT for you.

yeah, I'm sorry I told you on a public forum for everyone to see.

Well, were you the outside or the inside? Gross, I don't even want to know. And please tell me there was like a chastity separation.

Dubbya, I had a bow limb snap and fold over at full draw. That was quite a shock.

Am I seeing that right? It looks like youhit something off the belly of the limb right in the middle of that splinter.
That white spot that's a 1/2 circle in the center............does it have any texture or feel like an indent?

Were you hanging it by that spot or using a pro-pod on that part of the limb?
Good news is thats not a "Crack", it's a break in the outer finish and possibly the outermost layer of glass underneath.

I've seen splinters before on bows that look exactly like that onebut usually they are on the outside edge of the limb from some sort of impact. When you break the integrity of that outer layer of finish it can peel like that at the width of the spot that was impacted. In any event they have that tell tale mark or dent right in the center of the part that is lifting.

Looks more of a "ding" or slight delamination than a crack though. Either way tough break. As I said on the phone, if you have any problems let me know.
Scott, I agree... to me a crack is horizontal or something that goes perpendicular to the material of the limb. To me it looks as if a piece of the top layer of the limb has come loose. The chip actually came from my pro-pod, it caught on the loose piece when I put it on (the mule deer target 11 ). I definitely don't foresee any problems with Bowtech customer service.
Matt, you're correct. Buckeye and I had talked about that a little earlier... That white spot in the center of the limb is only about 1/4" in diameter.
