| Thanks for the replies all.
So far I have heard of one set of limbs, other than mine ,that have broken in a similar place, at the limb bolt.That was a set of Hoyts.
Ever since I got the bow, whenever I string it, I "predraw" it before shooting the first arrow, but don't release the string.I check the bracing height, shoot 6 arrows and then adjust the bracing height again. From then on , the bracing height never moves.
About 9 months ago, I had readjusted the string as described.I shot one arrow, then on the second the string came off and the limbs flew down the hall.Obviously I hadn't checked the string in the nock carefully enough and it slipped. From what you've said, maybe thats what caused the limb to break.
We'll never know for sure I suppose.If thats the case though there must be lots of limbs out here of all makes in potential breakdown.
I know a lot of archers are very "into" the technicalities of the sport, how everything works and the theories behind them.I'm one of those archers who just shoots the arrow, a bit like those people who can drive, enjoy driving, but couldn't tell you for all the tea in China how the petrol they put in one end of the car makes the wheels go round.  |
