Bad day for 3D Bow- blow up
[:@] ME and my favarite hunting bud (MY 14 YEAR OLD SON Dalton) were at a local 3d shoot sunday and having a ball until target 22. my son has a parker hunter mag set on #55 lbs less than a year old.half way drawing back, the bow exploded scaring the s^!** out of him and everyone around. luck was on his side as far as not getting hurt. Im glad he was not in a tree when it happened. looks like the lug that holds one of the strings to the lower cam came out letting everything go. parker has a lifetime warranty on defects, so looks i will be making a trip to the pro shop where i bought it.

He's 14 and fearless. Things do happen and I'm happy that your young man is unhurt. Was there any warning such as rattles or unusual vibration/sound? String Slack? I've been reading on this site that this has been happening quit often. Anyone know how to remedy this?
I always do my checks before and after and especially if I hear something out of the norm.

RE: Bad day for 3D Bow- blow up
i had that happen to me too about 3 years ago with my browning micro midas 2. i was lookin at the limbs of that bow and noticed there were some cracks in it and i was wondering if browning would cover this in there warranty or if browning has a warranty becasue i want to set this bow up for my 14 year old friend.
