On mine the bottom limb split were the axle goes in the hole to hold the cam on.

Are you sure they sold you a Carbon Overdrive?  Sounds like a Carbon Knight :dunno:

Quote from: Bowhunter41 on February 03, 2014, 06:46:00 PM
The other one cracked at the upper part of the handle .I'm not sure if it's just really bad luck or bad quality.

Did the riser break on the second or did the limb break?

I've never had much confidence in machined one piece limbs.  Especially those with the large blocky ends like those on both the C.Overdrive and Carbon Knight.  Those are the type that gave a bad name to all that used them whether is be PSE, Mathews, Martin, Bowtech...and the long list goes on.  They are super cheap so manufacturers continue to try every so often, but they always seem to have trouble sooner or later.  I did think the Carbon Overdrive would be better since they were not putting the axel through the limb.  I'm a Bowtech fan too, but there is a reason I have not tried any of their carbon risered bows yet.  And it has nothing to do with the riser ;)

No reason to be rude and attack a guy you have never even met.

Really. The anti-first post crowd is getting a little ridiculous if you ask me. I assume everyone had a 1st post right?

I dont think this guy really knows how to use this site.I cant imagine hes posting random.I believe after all we all know the knight was a piece of junk.(I saw a knight blow up at full draw at TSC) scary stuff.I really dont care the fact is hes a hunter like us Hoyt Bowtech Mathews Pse or a stick were all brothers. Thanks for the info Keith it would be nice to know if I was thinking about getting one.Makes you do some homework first.

I was thinking the same thing.  Odd detail to the story to be a random post.  Even if some of the bow detail leaves some questions.  Sure hope with all the following posts this guy is willing to post again and help clarify some details.
