Need help with new bow!!!

I just received my bow today that I bought from a guy off Archery Talk. Its a Destroyer 340. The top limb says 340 the bottom says 350. I called a shop they said the bottom limb had probably broke and he put a 350 limb on. He also stated it could have a deflection problem. So now I am pissed needless to say. What do you guys think.

I believe the 340 and 350 have the same limbs on them.
So as long as they put the same deflection limb on it shouldn't be an issue.

Maybe a phone call to Bowtech would provide some answers.

I tried that, you dont talk to anyone and they refer you to go online and send a message or talk to a dealer direct.

From what I understand the deflection is mark on the limb inside the riser. So I am guessing I need to make a trip to a shop and have it checked out.

The limbs probably have to be removed to read the numbers

the limbs should be the same deflection, but even i they are both 60 lb limbs there still could be an issue if they are a litle different. i think they should come as a set, with matching deflection.

Would a shop be able to tell what the limb poundage is?

THe shop I work at could take it apart and get the deflection number off both limbs, should be the same but I would be concerned if it was mine. We could call our rep at B-tek and get some answers. We are in Chehalis

Carefully measure the length of each limb see if they are the same.

I work at Lucky Shot Archery in Chehalis. If the bow has 2 different limbs I would assume it had a problem that was not covered by the warranty. Just a guess that the person bought a limb second hand and installed it. Could have been dry fired or something
:dunno:just speculating
