Limbsaver is in Shelton.  Go pay them a personal visit.   :chuckle:

That's what I would do. Just had a friend go get a set of limbs replaced earlier this season. He walked in and walked out with new limbs. Strangely enough his bow was a dz36 with a cracked limb at the cam pin

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.

Huh??? How do you know that he doesn't practice year round or even 6 months leading up to the season?  When and how much you practice has nothing to do with the limb failing.

Don't forget that most major bows come with a lifetime warrantee. 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.   :chuckle:

I have a limbsaver and I also happen to work about 5 min from their shop in Shelton. Trust me when I say the guys up there are awesome and do a stand up job and are more willing to help Limbsaver customers out. I wish I could have posted this before you got your new limbs on the way cause if you had the time to drop off your bow to them you could have had them swap out your limbs and dial it in for you. The last time I took my bow up there they updated my cam mods and put new strings on for free.
When your hunting, you're living. Everything else is just waiting.

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.  :dunno:

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.

Actually, it's Steve.  Not Jesus.  Anyway, I'll stop.   :)
