just buy new one! Get it today so you can shoot it before the season
So early season I had the quiver come off my bow in thick brush recovering a deer.. about a day before I was supposed to leave for elk camp.. Of course that included a half dozen arrows I had tested with the broadheads.. No problem, dont postpone the trip, I'll just take the recurve.. and I did-and of course the only elk I had a clear look at was a known distance 50yds.. and 50 is perfectly doable with the compound, but he's pretty safe at 50 when i have the recurve.. I did find the quiver later..
What kind of bow is it? Hope you dont say Bowtech, only bow I had these issues with. If you are original owner they should honor warranty if ya ship it to them. Take it to dealer ya bought it and overnight it.
No sh*t- my Limbsaver DZ-36 split a limb this summer, was only 1.5 years old. I called up Limbsaver, and they sent me a new pair of limbs no questions asked. However, they told me my bow is being discontinued- translated to no more replacement parts. I'm hoping it holds out through late season, then I'm buying a new bow for next year. The customer service is great, and I like that they're a local company, but the bow just doesn't seem to be holding up to a lot of shooting.
Limbsaver is in Shelton. Go pay them a personal visit.
You asked why now? Because you're practicing with your bow now. If you practice year 'round, chances are greater that it'll happen at a different time of the year.

Take it to your bow guy to get a replacement. About fell over in my chair after that ignorant comment... I shoot year year round if you must know...(well maybe not in January-Feb). Anyway, good news is that it is on warranty and my new limbs are already on the way. Gonna have it dialed in before turkey time....hopefully me and Piannoman wont have to practice all day Thanksgiving and miss dinner since we didn't shoot all year until now. Well, I guess I'm ignorant then. No hair off my butt. If you do shoot year round, you can understand the mathematics I used to make my statement. Not everyone shoots year round and ask your bow shop about when they see the majority of broken equipment - within weeks of bow season they see about 90% of their business in that vein. I'm glad to hear you have replacement parts on the way. Have fun.

I understand what your saying about the math and probability.That aside, I shoot year round. Try to get in at least one practice a week, my bow broke on my first hunting day of last season.

Try to get in at least one practice a week, my bow broke on my first hunting day of last season. Well, I'd like to see the math and statistical probability of pianoman's assertion because so far we've got two year round shooters here where their bow broke just before or on the first day of the season. Now, I can understand the generalization (it's intuitive at first glance), but to start spouting off numbers like 90% and mathematical probability without factual numbers is BS for a generalization.Jesus, really? This has gone beyond stupid.
