    How many of those bows have pillow block assemblies on the limb tips?

    Well a year later after having my limbs replaced and tuned by the shop, put about a 100 arrows through it over the summer and everything was running smooth. Sitting in the stand last weekend, just having my bow on my lap and I hear a pop, look down and one of my limbs cracked right in half!! Just sitting there and it cracked during a hunt.... dropped the bow off this morning to get it fixed, again.

    F that. Do you have a backup bow? I would get it fixed and sell it or trade it in towards a different brand of bow. Not saying that other brands don't have limb issues. But it's far too common with Bowtech.

    I always keep a backup crossbow with me when I go hunting thankfully! That is definitely the plan selling it as soon as I get it back, going with a Matthews next.

    Recently had this happen with my Experience. Lancaster archery did the warranty work and had the bow back to me in a couple weeks. While I was at Lancaster archery I bought the Reign 6. Some say I'm a glutton for punishment, but it shot so well. Good luck.
