I had a nocturnal that I left on a practice arrow and after several hundred shots it broke on release was like a dry fire, brought the bow in and found no issues I was pretty happy shot the bow for a few months brought it in to have it tuned before season. Got it home and shot it around 50-60 times, next morning first shot on the draw the limbs gave out. I thought that the issue may have been just plain fatigue I shot the crap out of my destroyer. I ended up getting a set of Barnsdale limbs and love them. Based on the recent failures I just can't see myself buying another BT. That being said with the limbs it is like a new bow.
