Cracked a limb on my 07 Liberty
I just wanted to post this to see if this is a normal thing to be happening. This bow is about one month old and the upper limb has cracked length wise. I called bowtech and they will not deal with me direct. They say I need to go back to Gander Mtn. where I purchased it and to have them contact us, ( us being Bowtech).
This really stinks[:@] I love the way the bow shoots and feels.They just need to maybe use a better quality limb. I've shot it aprox. 200 times. Will Bowtech take care of this in a timely fassion? Or will I get hosed? Also, what is the length of the string and cable? Thanks for the help Nick |

I have never heard of the liberty having limb issues. I hear of the allegences and tributes in 05-06. I have a liberty with maybe 4000 shots thru it without issue.
You didn't dry fire it did ya? |
RE: Cracked a limb on my 07 Liberty
Thanks for the reply. Nope, I didn't dry fire it. I was simply shooting last Saturday and on one draw I heard a light crunching or a creaking noise. I still released the arrow and all was well except for the splinter which is now present in my upper limb.
At least this seems to be a isolated incident. I'll hope for the best, that Gander Mtn. will do like they should. ( I have'nt had the best of luck with them in the past) I know this will raise a question as to why I purchased my bow from them then. Well I just figured that I could deal directly with Bowtech ( like I have with Parker) .... I was wrong. Nick |

I love bowtech, but the things that really bother me about buying from them is the nontransferable warranty and having to deal with the dealer at all times. I think you can take it to another dealer.

BowTech is a great company, and they will fix it at no charge to you, I can't see them saying NO!!!!
BowTech's limbs are known to have the most problems within the bow community, this something they need to work on, cause overall they make a great product |
RE: Cracked a limb on my 07 Liberty
happened to me this past spring with my 07 Allegiance, took about 2 weeks to get the limbs in, since then no probs and the bow shoots awesome..

Thanks again fellas. So if they are having bad luck with limbs. Will the new limb-limbs be any different or better?
I've actually got the ball rolling with Gander mtn. My Bow is in their possesion, which I really do not like. But, I'll give them one chance to make it happen for me. If they drop the ball, i'll never buy a big ticket item from them again. Nick |
RE: Cracked a limb on my 07 Liberty
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Does anyone know the string and cable length?
Thanks again Nick |
RE: Cracked a limb on my 07 Liberty
My buddy and I both had 05 allegiances and he went through two sets of limbs in a year. Although bowtech was fairly quick to take care of that problem he switched brands do to several other problems with the bow.

i had a 2004 liberty, and after 3 sets of limbs, it was determined as a limb pocket problem. There is just too much pre-stress in those limbs as fars as im concerned.
