    Default Broken Bow?
    so I was out shooting my bow the other day and after i had shot a couple times my bow "broke" when i released an arrow. Really, the part circled in red just came out of place. I'm still pretty new to the bow hunting world so I'm completely unaware of the implications of such a problem and of what could have caused this to happen. (The bow is a bowtech tomkat) I'll be taking it to my bow guy this week, but any help now is greatly appreciated

    I think he is saying that his cable guard slip out of the riser.

    Just put it back in. Tad a little adhesive on the edge of the shaft and slide it back in- no big deal.

    This happened on my Diamond Justice- which is pretty much the same bow. I just put it back in.
    Gotcha, I was hoping this was all that would be involved but I wasn't too sure. Thanks for the help!

    a little gorilla glue would probly do wonders on that or if you bought it new you could always send it in under warranty too

    Same thing happened to my bow 2 years ago when i first got it. that little screw was not even close to being tight that fixed my problem.

    Ditto the "TIGHTEN The Screw" group!!!! Don't put Gorilla glue on that thing, fix it the CORRECT and easier way.
