another split limb possibly
 

Ever since i have been reading about these limb failures on Allegiances i have been worried.I checkmy limbs before and after every shooting session and several times during.Now today i was shooting and heard that "tick" that Gibblet was talking about at full draw.Not thinking to much about it i let the arrow go then checked my limbs and sure enough there is a crack on the bottom limb.I do not have a camera handy so i used ijimmy's pic just as a referance to where it is located.I cannot take it to Len's till Monday cause heis closed today,so should i back the limbs out till then or just let it be?

that's the famous crack right there. i may get blasted for this, but its fine to keep shooting it until you take it in. in fact, if it happened on a hunting trip, i'd have no problem hunting with it. i have a lot of experience with that exact crack.

RE: another split limb possibly
 

Just let it be and don't shoot it till you get Len to check it out;)

Is that kind of crack gonna ever fail completely,and is it warrantable?

RE: another split limb possibly
 

its covered. i'd shoot it for the weekend, but that's me, and i was told this crack would be fine to shoot for a while by a bowtech sales rep - not a shopowner - a bowtech employee.

Well since the bow is gonna come apart this is a good excuse to order a set of string and cables from Gibblet:D.How does the black ond orange comeout? is there any color bleeding?

hey newman, i just found my crack - its identical. mine is on the top limb, but like i said, an exploding pin nock is the culprit. haven't shot in about 3 days but just stuck 6 10's from 20 - 4x. i'll admit it though - i'm scared to shoot it even though i think, and have been told it would be ok. good excuse for me to go pick up a constitution LOL.

i don't know if bcy changed the colored wax or what, but the last 2 spools of black in 452x and the 8125 that just came in don't have nearly the amount of black wax on them as usual. usually after using black my hands are covered. i never have known if the string bled and turned the wax black or if it came with black wax - but its been a real issue. i just made a black and orange yesterday and it came out crispy clean.

i'm serious - unless some sense strikes me i'm about to call around about constitutions.

Sounds like a good bow

Dave:

Bring it by today. Open from 11 - 4.

I can put a new set of limbs on it immediately if you're going hunting tomorrow or Tuesday.

Now THAT'S service:)

RE: another split limb possibly
 

No doubt. That is why you buy from a proshop. I wish Len lived closer

RE: another split limb possibly
 

WoW !!!!! That's a great shop. My Local Bowtech dealer only has 2 2006 bows in, no modules, and didn't even know about the new Equalizer until I explained it to him. After I did he tried telling me what I really wanted was a Mighty Mite, same bow he said!!!!!!!! Not all pro shops are equal, believe me.

RE: another split limb possibly
 

yep that's excellent service,you can't ask for much more than that:D

RE: another split limb possibly
 

Another limb bites the dust, but great service comes through to save the day!

TerryM, sadly enough [>:]your not alone.

RE: another split limb possibly
 

Yeah Len's OK.;)

Trust me, if you are within reasonable driving distance of Len you are doing yourself a disserviceif you arenot taking advantage of his shop.

Man, whats teh deal with bowteck limbs? I just got a used liberty VFT. Since I got it used, I hope I don't have any issues.

RE: another split limb possibly
 

I dunno dude but i hope you don't have any problems cause the lifetime warranty is only good for the original owner.[:'(]

RE: another split limb possibly
 

Thats the same exact spot of the cracks i had. I hunted with my bow for a week in march for hogs, and it shot fine. I too, heard a tick sound while coming against the wall. definitly check to see if the rubber spaces are in correctly, and you may want to back the limbs off 1 turn each. Solved the problem for me after I got new pockets.
