Since it came apart and no stress (like a dry fire) took place it might be fine. Would be a help to us all if you could share why.

Glad baldntatted is OK

The only bow failure I've ever seen was a guy who was trying to reduce the poundage on a 60# bow for his little brother. One turn too many and the limbs left the riser as he was drawing. The aftermath looked just like the photo (he was ok too).

I am glad he is alright but, I wish he would share what had happened so that we all can be aware of it.

Possibly what had happened here as he doesn't want to tell us anything?

I reduced my draw weight this year (bum shoulder) from 70# to 63# and noticed my bow was louder (not "loud" though). When I saw all the rubber on that bow that's what instantly came to mind.

My next bow will have 60# limbs maxed out.
