Well, guess my luck had to run out.  Went out hunting this morning, drew back and heard a strange noise.  I let the bow down, instead of shooting, found a crack starting in the upper limb.  :'(  Guess I am hearded back to the Nock Point Wednesday, with a trip coming up pretty sure I will not be getting a deer this year.

Bad time for that to happen!   :bash:

Is it a Martin?

Yeah Martin Pantera, bought it last year.  Shot my first and only archery deer with it.

 Martin fixed there limbs in 2011 I havent herd of any problems with the new power tough limbs.I really cant think of a bow that has not had any limb problems in the past,what matters is how they take care of you when it happens.

  My brother inlaw had both limbs crack on one of his martin bows.  He has lost total confidence in it.
  They did replace both of them free of charge though.

I got this bow back in 2010 just before the season.  Not too worried about it, since won't have time to finish out the season unless I borrowed a bow from my cousin, but I have a 31" draw and he has like a 28" and he doesn't have any arrows set up with broadheads.
