Today, was not a good day.

[Chad Gus]

Went to a bow shoot today, at the local club I'm a member of. I get there around 8:45, get signed up, step up to the practice line, a take my first warm up arrow and i hear a load crack, as I shoot. Glance down at my bow and see that there's a crack in the top limb, well sh!t, this bow is no longer shoot able. I get on my phone and start messaging some buddies, two of them were coming to the shoot and both said they would swing by my house and pick up my hunting bow and bring it over for me. Get my "new" bow, take a few shots and get it dialed in, get to target 10, shoot the first arrow (2 arrows per target) draw back for the second shot and my bow blows up, punched myself in the face in the process. What are the odds of this, both of my bows breaking in the same day. On a positive note, both bows last arrows were bullseyes.

Better odds winning the lottery I'd say. That sucks. Good excuse to buy a new bow I guess. Nobody was hurt that's the main thing I reckon.

I had an arrow blow up once, shrapnel is still in my thumb. You can just see it under the skin, just North of the scar...

They don’t call them Blowtech for nothing. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. That’s too bad. Where and how were they stored? Wonder what could have caused it?

 

[MarvB]

Well that sucks! But on a positive, the facial received could have been A LOT worse!

Stored in my house, hanging in my hunting room when not in use. Got both new in 2008, one for hunting and the other for leagues/tournaments. 10's of thousands of arrows through each.

Heck of a coincidence for sure. I’d be switching brands.

Yeah, gonna spend the next month hitting up local bow shops, shooting all brands and see what feels the best.

Not sure how Botech is now a days but in the past they would warranty their limbs. If I were you I would check it out.

 

[noharleyyet]

Pic sent chills...

 

[Jstearns]

Had a bow do that on opening day before

 

[OntarioHunter]

Might be some time to get warrantee work done if they have to send it back to the Klingon home planet.
