the limb sga continues

as you may know by now i noticed that my my beloved winex limbs were begining to delaminate on sunday.
contacted win and win and they said would take two weeks max to make them as they did not have them in stock.
they then asked in another email that i said them the serial number of the limbs and a photo of the damage, fair enough, and said request was replied with pronto.
they have now asked that i give them the name of the shop were they were purchased and also that i send them the limbs so that they can figure out wht they delaminated. (as if they have no clue or should that be no glue).
still resonable enough request.
Howeve,r hear is my dilema, will i now have to wait till they have a goo at the limbs before they send a new set? if that is the case i could be waiting for my new limbs for ages..
Of course i have said no problem, your welcome to them. But intervarsity season has started and i need limbs NOW, just hope they will send them to me asap.

My daughter is in the process of working her way up in poundage. I just had to send a set of limbs back that cracked, and lucky for us, I havn't sold her last set of limbs yet. Always nice to have

Are theses limbs going back to W&W in the UK, or Korea? Do W&W even have respresentation in the UK?

Surely your retailer should take this up with them, not you? Your contract is with the retailer that sold you these limbs, and it's down to them to take up the cause with the manufacturer.

I'd be extremely impressed if W&W could turn it around within a few days, all the way from Korea.

The normal and probably the quickest process if the limbs are less than 12 months old is to take them back to the shop you bought them from with the receipt.

Most archery equipment is purchased through distributors so the shop will send the limbs to the distributor who should replace them by return. The Distributor will then take the issue up with the manufacturer.

It is not unusual for some shops to replace the limbs there and then and sort out the issues with the distributor, that's of course if they have have them in stock.

Off topic but relevent which I have not seen discussed when arrow selection is talked about is making sure that the total weight of the arrow is above the minimum recomendation (AMO standards) for the bow weight if it's below then you are effectively dry firing the bow everytime you shoot.

Oh I forgot to add

Use a proper bow stringer, I am as guilty as most but the step through or jamming the bottom limb against the in step can put additional strain & twisting on the limbs which they were not designed for.
