compitent pro shop

I have yet to find one around me anyway that I would trust.

Factory should have access to x-ray machines that would pick up hairline cracks. etc. I would inquire about the inspection of the bow. I can pretty much safely say that when the bow leaves the manufacturer, it will be looked over thoroughly. Geez, even when I cracked the limbs on my Parker, I insisted it go back to the factory for repair or do it myself. I dealt with them directly. Personally I am insucure about the local shops around here. Too many bad experiences. I tried a new shop recently and though I had finally found a good one. Bought my new Darton from him. Only to find out that he set up the cam timing incorrectly. And the Darton has to be one of the easiest to set the timing on!
Now do you think that I would trust him to find a hairline crack? No way, it would go right back to Darton.

LOL:D

Just dap some glue on it - worked before[8D]

I would think you learned a bit after that experience:eek:

Not to sound too harsh but I totally agree with Rack, he just beat me to posting it. I was wondering if your an experinced archer or just getting into the sport. Even if your a somewhat experienced archer you should know better than to try to put a band aid on it like you did. The amount of stress a compound is under during the draw cycle is tremendous. If your a newbie, I'm gald your not hurt and hope you learned a lesson. Don't ever skimp on your cables & strings, they are what holds the whole thing together.

RE: Cable Broke At Full Draw

Thanks for the tips. Regarding the super glue fix, I kinda had a bad feeling about doing that.... heehee and yes I learned my lesson :) This is my first bow, I'm new to the sport. My wife freaked out when she saw the whole ordeal... didn't really want me to shoot the bow anymore. I tried to convince her to lemme get a new Bowtech to no avail. I'm gonna trust the pro-shop and if any problems, send it back to High Country. Thanks again. Robert
