I don't understand what is going on, but something surely seems to be up with Bowtech's bows lately. When they first came into the bow market, you didn't hear of too many problems, but since more and more people are shooting their bows, this limb problem has creeped into the picture.

Maybe I'm thinking too much but could this be a design flaw in the parallel limb design? I understand the limbs don't move very much, but that stress and shock has got to go somewhere, especially with the low stretch strings and cables they are using. Maybe there is more stress on those limbs than once thought.

I hope they get it corrected and make a public statement about it. Time will tell just how great they really are. If they don't make an anouncement, and try to disregard this issue, I'll think less of them. Hopefully its something simple like a faulty batch of limbs and not something more critical like design errors.

I think you've missed C903's point.

I've seen cracked limbs on just about every major manufactuer of bows out there.Sure, Bowtech is experiancing some major problems and it's a shame that the guys are having to deal with it just before bow season starts.Bowtech has a quality product on the market,and even though I shoot a Mathews,and people may feel this site is "slightly" slanted towards Bowtech,I still feel bad for my fellow bowhunters in their time of need.Also,I don't get any kind of joy in the fact that it's not "my bow companies probelms".After saying that,I just can't help but wonder...Is this,or could it be a result of this insane quest for speed, pushing the limits of these bows with lighter,faster arrows,and turning a blind eye towards everything else to achieve being the "fastest"?Just a thought,and I certainly hope everything works out for Bowtech and their customers...Bob

Just an update. Called the shop yesterday and the limbs haven't come in. The hunting shows are really making me itch to shoot! I suspect they'll be here today or Monday.........fingers crossed.

i have the same problem brought the bow back tuesday and the pro shop said they wont be in till next week iam hoping monday got some new arrows to try.. and like you said the huntings shows dont help none.. ps are you putting the limbs on or the shop

I'm going to let the shop put the limbs on under my supervision. From what the Bowtech techs are saying, we have to be careful that the bows aren't being pressed too close to the limb pockets. I can't remember how mine was pressed at the shop, but it was in a more traditional bow press.

the shop i go to to have 3 differnt presses and they look pretty new so i am hoping they do a good job.. i just like doing everything my self that way i know it as good as it can be.

Look for Apple press. I think they are the ones that should be used on parallel limb bows.

are the apple presses yellow?

The Apples are yellow. The new ones have a small hydraulic jack on one end. The jack is what is actually used to relax the string.
