Bow broke...why now!!!!!

[asl20bball]

Went to shoot the bow yesterday. As I drew back I heard this crackling sound and thought, hum this can't be good. Upon examination my lower bow limb cracked. Horrible timing just a week before late elk season. I'm hoping a buddy has a bow I can borrow otherwise I'm guiding during the late season.  Uuuuurrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhh!!!  I hope its on warrantly...had it for 3 years only.

Ditto.  Last year opening day my release went tits up
  And seen the only shooter of the trip 15 minutes after I noticed it.

prob will buy one. Then again I gotta check the warranty info on my bow. If its under warranty I'll probably borrow a bow for the next few weeks to get me through the late season and just get mine fixed.

I can let you borrow one, doesnt have sight or rest but is a good shooter...Leaving for deer hunting, and wont be back till next Sunday though if that works.. You can still use it the rest of the year, through Xmas....PM me if interested.....Sean

I just got a buddy's bow lined up to borrow. Thanks anyway Sean! That is a great offer considering you don't know me...that's what's great about the bow hunting brotherhood. Good luck with your deer hunt buddy.

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.

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..

that's pretty rough! Would have been easier to swallow at 100 yards.

I love my Bowtechs. Never had a single problem. I even sold my 04 Extreme VFT to a buddy. He hunts with it to this day with no problems ever.

Would you rather it broke when you pulled it back on an elk? Be thankful it happened now. Most things happen for a reason.
You've got time to get  another set up for yourself for late season.

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.
