WTH
« on: August 29, 2019, 01:18:17 PM »
I bought a Bowtech RPM 360 a few years ago.  I have been dealing with rotator cuff issues since Nov 2016.  Since I'm recovering well from my 2nd surgery, I went out to check my bow and start to get a feel for it again.  I pulled it of the bow rack and something didn't look right.  Both of my cams are bent pretty bad and the axels appear to be bent.  I have been shooting a bow for almost 30years and have never seen anything like this.  Could sitting in a bow rack for a couple years cause this?  I am meticulous at taking care of my equipment and the bow has never been mishandled.  I am beyond frustrated at this point.  I wasn't planning on hunting with it this year, but that's not the point.

Do you have kids that could have accidentally screwed it up and just put it back hoping to get away with it?  Sounds like some crap i would have tried to pull.

I have 2 boys, but neither of them are into archery.  They rifle hunt and are pretty trustworthy.  I don't think they would try to pull anything over like this, but I'm not stupid either.  Boys will be boys.  My bow rack isn't easy to get to either.

Id bet dry fire as well. My friend had his dry fired back in college by a drunk roommate.  It bent the hell out of the cams and that bow never was right after that incident

Even good boys are likely to have stupid friends over ...
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

My wife says if you have 1 boy you have 1 brain, 2 boys 1/2 a brain, 3 or more no brains  :chuckle:
and it does ring true sometimes, i love when i come in the room or out the door to the outside and they all get quiet...
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

This.  I used to work with teenage boys.  They share a single brain regardless of their numbers.  Even the best of them eff up!  Put that bow on the dining table at dinner and just eat in silence.  I bet someone squeals  :chuckle:
