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:
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?

Bowtech guys are in denial.
Yep! Almost as much as Hoyt guys :chuckle:
I dont think this guy really knows how to use this site.I cant imagine hes posting random.
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.

If his first post were one which slammed a taxidermist, for example, and then he never came back to substantiate, that would be one thing. However, he's talking about his experience with two bows breaking. Do you think he's actually Pete
I personally want to see reviews of equipment, especially when it fails. Thanks for the first post, man. We hope to see more of you.
There, fixed it, RAD.

I have owned a browning, hoyt, & now bowtech (admiral) & my wife & daughter shoot a diamond razors edge...so far only my hoyt had issues....good luck & thanks for the heads up....

Do you think he's actually Pete Shipley and trying to get people to buy PSE instead of Bowtech? I see absolutely no reason or benefit for someone to make up a story about bows breaking.
Why would an Irish Fiddle player try and get people to buy PSE? :chuckle:

My bro had a factory string eyelet come apart at the cam wheel, the bow was only months old, and it nearly scoooped out his eyeball if it weren't for his mirrored tom cruise top gun special edition aviator shades :chuckle:

I think we get used to it and forget that not everyone has had the exposure time to develop an appropriate skin. And if you are coming from Archery Talk this was a rather pleasant greeting ;) But that still doesn't change the fact it wasn't much of a "Welcome Aboard" first post reception. I'll agree that a first post of this type of topic isn't a glaring example of how to introduce yourself. But, the skeptics were awful quick on the trigger.
It could have something to do with that new avatar of yours too :yike: Maybe he's a Yankees fan you Southy, Irish, Bastage !! :chuckle: :chuckle:

Only 1 post and I kinda like the guy.
>:( >:( :chuckle:
I just got off the phone with the Bowtech Pro shop. They've got a good group of guys down there that have been quite helpful to me over the years. They are not part of the Warranty dept, but so far they have seen only one return on the Carbon Overdrive to the pro shop. And that one was damaged in an old Apple bow press. Who knows what the warranty dept is seeing, but it doesn't sound like it is a wide spread issue. I'll post more when I get in touch with the warranty dept if they have something more to add.

Well here's my update on my piece of crap bows.Some idiot in customer service sees to be a a lot smarter then me.Being a bow hunter for 24 years and owning many different brands and kinda knowing my way around archery I guess according to Bowtech PRO I must have dry fired my hunk of junk bow.GIVE ME A BREAK. Imagine how you guys would feel to here O it must be your fault.The bow is a 1000 terd Two broke on the same day and hey if you don't believe me I don't really care go buy one. See for yourself and as far as Bowtech saying no problems there that's because it's your fault not theres. Good luck ...
Sorry for the issues. In my opinion, my fault or a defect, if the RISER cant take a dry fire, thats not a bow im willing own.

Oh heck no, it's just starting to make sense!
Cryder, having a more expensive bow will not necessarily make you better at longer shots. With my "middle of the road" Bear Encounter I am accurate to distances I would not shoot a game animal at because it's tuned and it has a good brace height and length combination for me.
Just go somewhere and shoot some bows ;)
