Default PSE should change their name to POS!

I have about had it with PSE Bows. I have been vigourosly trying to get my Thunderbolt tuned here before the approaching weekend. I will be moving away from home to go back to college so i wanted to get everything ready for the fast approaching season. I was inspecting my bow noticed stress fractures in the forks of my limbs. I am using Limb Savers and rubber string Silencers... I have an older Nova that had the same problem a couple years ago. PSE replaced the limbs free of charge so i thought that i would be able to use this bow untill i could get my fast bow back from the shop. Guess what this bow has the same stress fractures again. I am really torqued off and will never buy another PSE because of thier flawed product, Now I will never be able to get my bow ready for the season. Do yourselves a favor and by a mathews next time your looking for a new bow.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Just out of curiousity, are you sure they are actually fractures in the fiberglass material or is it cracks in the film dip/paint? It is fairly common for us to have several customers come back each year thinking that they have cracks in the limbs when it is actually a crack in the film dip. I hope this is the case.

Pabowhunter may be right. My fatherinlaw had a Matthews which seemed to be possible fractures, but they turned out to be cosmetic. Matthews inspected the bow themselves and returned it.

I shot PSE for 25 years and never had so much as a string fray. What weight arrow are you shooting? If you push the envelope you can expect problems with any of them.

I' ve been shooting PSE Carbons Dominator 300' s... Before that Beman ICS 400' s. The Nova bow has been used and abused in the boat chasing after Carp shooting heavy fiberglass arrows... So it doesnt surprise me, But my PSE F-1 has been abused more then the nova and that bow has yet to have any problems. I brought my bow to a semi-local sporting shop today and the owner said he' s seen this problem on three bows already this year. I think it maybe a common PSE problem.
