"Cracked Limb" UPDATE!!!!!!
 

Well guys,

This evening I took my bow to a buddy of mine who use to run a pro-shop. After a very close and thorough inspection, the crack on my limb isn't actually the limb! The camo has a seperation in it, not the limb! It looks like someone took a thin piece of black hair about 2" long and laid it on the bow!

Thankfully the bow is fine and I don't need my limbs replaced. Today was gut wrenching thinking that I could possibly not be ready to go come Oct. 2nd!

The moral of this story is to check you bow out, check it thoroughly and don't pass anything off. Sure, it could be something cosmetic like my "problem" (thank god), but there is always the chance of it being something worse!

You had to feel as though you had just won the lottery. :)

c903, Yep, I just about hugged the guy! I'll tell you what though, it was a rude awakening! I don't always check my equipment after every shooting session but I will from now on!

Glad to hear the good news BM! Good luck out there. Just a couple more weeks!!

I wonder how many "cracks", are actually flaws in the finish.

That is good news Jason. One less thing for you to have to worry about as the season fast approaches.

hey, that's great news!

I wish I could pass mine off, but the 5 inch splinter hanging off the limb at 30 degrees worries me![:o][:o][:o]

Good to hear...that is probably where two ends of the film dip met. The older Hoyt bows that had the Mossy Oak Forest Floor camo often had those types of "cracks" in the dip..very unsightly, but just cosmetic.

I'd add a hair of the precise same length to the other limb as well. Can;t have them limbs being different weights now or it'll throw your whole game off:D

When I read the title of this thread and seen that it was you Jason my heart sank,I was thinking that you must have the worst luck of all of us, first your cam and now your bow.I'm sure glad that it wasn't anything serious .I'm expecting to see some great pic's of your deer this season, and I'd like to see you get that Liberty dirty.

I had the exact same thing on my Mathews sq2. I wouldn't shoot it seeing that"crack" there. I was driving through Sparta that weekend and took it into Mathews personally, an hour later I walked out with new limbpockets, to quote" set my mind at ease and to help if if I ever resell the bow. I tell you, the guys at Mathews factory pro shop are awesome. They did take sandpaper to the old limb pocket while I was standing there and sanded off the paint to reveal it was infact just a cosmetic blemish..
