what should I do with this?? I just discovered this on my PSE Viking....don't know how long its been like this. Is it going to make a difference? Is it unsafe? Would they fix it at it's age? What would you do? Thanks all.
Looks like a good excuse to buy a new bow! On a serious note, that looks very dangerous and I would not shoot it if I were you. If that comes loose and flys back at you while at full draw, that'd be some serious stuff!
ahh, that makes me cringe just looking at it. I would just look for a new bow. Dont know what they could do to fix that. Not to be rude, but did you dry fire it?
no, it has never been dry fired....I never have drawn bow without a nocked arrow.....i really don't know how long its been like this...haven't dropped either......it's on the top limb.......just pulled it out to start shooting for upcoming season and while waxing string i noticed it
PSE probably won't fix huh?? Guess they don't keep a stock of older limbs It is an older bow, but she's been a good shooter.....sad
No bow expert but, I wouldn't draw back on that one. Good luck with it. Contact PSE. You never know, they may have replacements for it.
I have fixed wild things with the 'ole JB Weld trick.....hahahahaha. I don't have much cash for new bow right now.....got a rifle I can trade though.......guess I am going hunting for a bow/gun shop and cry big gator tears for some sympathy......bow season not that for away to learn a new bow.....I could always pull that old PSE out of the case and shoot 10 arrows in a tight group right off the bat at 25 yrds. and be ready to hunt.
not worth you getting hurt or someone else for that matter. i would say buy a new bow you still have some time.
guess I better start asking around for whats a good used bow for the money, and not much money at that(times r tough around here).........but that is going to start a wildfire of debate I would imagine......I don't want to raise any blood pressures, I'm new here. Just an unexpected expense not needed right now.
I am in no way shape or form any kind of expert, but if it were me I would not draw that bow. It just looks like a bad idea. I would be out bow shopping asap.
yeah its in the hard case with the limbs backed off......will warn who ever opens case to "handle with caution"
you may be able to locate new limbs for it, although it kind of looks like it is a separate piece a the end of the limb, in which case I would contact PSE and see what they can come up with for you. other wise I would start searching Craigslist/ bow shops!
Just how old is the bow? What kind of warrenty does PSE have? Maybe they will give so much off a new PSE, never know till you try them. Good luck. Oh BTW, are you left handed?
What's your draw length? I might be willing to sell my backup bow. It's a 2009 Parker Redhawk XP but DL is 29-31.
well, I just talked with PSE, looks like I am gonna be the new owner of something called a "Brute"......never heard of it, but I didn't have any choice.....still hit the wallet more than I was hoping for Anybody got any experience with a Brute? Thanks
So what did PSE say? Doesn't sound like their giveing you the Brute. Did they discount it or say you were just out of luck on this one?
