You trying to meet up one day down there? Ive been looking for a buddy to shoot with at TSC as im only about 2 minutes from there. Havent went yet because lack of knowledge on how the club works. Full member though.

It's either too short, too old, or both... the UV breaks down the tubing and it becomes brittle, I just replace it once a year before it breaks and never have a problem.

Post by: jechicdr on April 02, 2013, 08:04:01 PM: Had the same problem on my Mathews Z7. It was several shots before it broke, but eventually always did. I suspect it was the speed of the bow slinging that rubber around and causing it to whiplash. Went to the Anchor Sight. Now no peep. No need to align anything...except the bow.
