I would think it would be hard to pin point one company. They' ve all had their ups -n- downs. There are alot of them who have their bow limbs manufactured by the same company.

I' ll play. My mathews Z-LIGHT split it' s lower limb after about 4 years of shooting 2213' s at 65#(pro shop set me up) and the 2315' s at 70#.
I had limb savers in place at the time of the crack. Mathews replaced the limbs under warranty, so no BIG deal. Although from then on I' ve always had at least 2 bows ready to hunt. It was close to season when it happened and a big eye opener for me on why 2 bows is a good idea.

My local pro shop says whichever brand gets left in a hot vehicle the most will be winner on the split limb issue.

When I was buying my mathews, I didn' t see a mighty mite, doesn' t bowtirds make mightymight.

I heard High Country had a problem a few years back when I owned one, but I never had a problem with mine. I have a Mathews now for about 3 yrs and no problems at all. A friend of mine was at a bow shop checking out a new Hoyt when suddenly, at full draw, one of the limbs gave out. He says it broke..... The shop owner argues that he dry-fired it and tried to charge him for the damages!!!! They are still debating it to this day!
