Also, Limbs should be replaced in PAIRS..not one at a time..Limbs are matched from the factory..similar to stiffness in arrow shafts..that is if they are matching them well in the first place..

Unless they have the "limb code" from the good limb(usually on the bottom in the pocket) they can only get "close"...

I would call back and tell them you want both limbs replaced, and better yet a new riser..tell them you want to send it back yourslef for repairs...if they see how the dealer beat it up, they might be more inlcined to give you a new one..

You guys/gal were talking earlier about bow companies with trade-in deals for the limbs to "grow" with the shooter. Paker also has that deal, $50 for the new limbs on the Challenger model. The Challenger is a very good youth/womens bow. You would either have to ship it to Parker for the upgrade or take it to your local dealer, if you trust them. You do not have to swap out the cam either. Limb weight options are 20-30, 30-40, and 40-50 pounds. An option for you if you decide that Forge is no longer the bow for you. Sorry to hear about your experiences. Good luck.

Thanks for the tip on the matched limbs I didnt know about that.I have no intentions of selling this bow despite the limb contact I have really enjoyed this bow I have harvested deer with it and shot 3D tournaments with it and the bow has shot really well for me and i have become kinda attached to it. I was already in the market for a new bow with higher poundage before this all happened I am looking at bows that i can get up to 60 pounds out of and we were able to tweek 52 out of my forge but thats the limit.I am planning on keeping the forge as my backup bow.Guess what, the dealer totally denies putting the dings in the bow. Imagine that.<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>
