    I got a new Mathews mission bow yesterday. Today I was outside practicing my shot. Then I decided to come inside but on my way inside i tripped and fell while in that process my bow had fell out of my hand and landed on concrete. It fell on the limb weight bolt. I don't know if that's something that hurt the bow. There's a big scratch. Can someone please help me.[​IMG]

    it looks ok to me...that's actually just a washer. the bolt itself looks undamaged.

    It's probably not safe to shoot with such a bad scratch.
    edit: This was sarcasm. ha

    Looks fine to me. I would sand that smooth and touch up with some paint and get back to shooting

    It's bound to happen. Little dings and scratches are inevitable. There's nothing wrong with it if that's all the damage it sustained. Shoot

    looks fine to me as long as you didn't crack a limb or anything you should be all set. Like Kurveball18 already said just touch it up with some paint and you will be good. Have fun this sport is definitely addicting.

    I'm going to the bow shop today just to make sure I didn't crack the limb. Thank you for the reply
