About Ready to give up.

With the latest incident I'm about ready to give up, and only 10 months into shooting a bow. Since Feb 1st there has been nothing but problems; 6 times the center serving separated, D-loop broke on the 5th shot the same day I got it back from the shop(they just tied it on that a.m.), QAD rest that was not dropping fast enough and kept getting hit by the arrow, peep sight that cut 2 strings, and just last week I noticed some serious lean in the bottom cam as well as wear on the cable from rubbing the cam.

Took it to the shop, bad out of timing. Well picked my bow up today; the string that the last shop had made and put on was nearly 2 inches too long but it was now timed and ready to go. Me and the man at the shop shot the bow a few times and I went home. This evening I was going to use some D-loop string as a kisser since my anchor had changed and had already been considering this prior to taking it to the shop. I nocked an arrow (after the D-loop broke on me I will never draw a bow without an arrow nocked)and half way into the draw I hear a pop/crack, my hand comes back and hits me in the face and my arrow goes sailing into the woods.

So I look and my D-loop came apart at the bottom knot, I go inside, sit down and turn the lamp on to check out what happened. That's when I spot an even bigger problem, top right limb is cracked. What in the world? This is about to really piss me off, this bow is only 6 months old.

The string was 2" too long? That's some serious stretching. What about the cables? If they were stock length, that joker had to be pulling way over the rated weight.

You need to get away from pse and never step foot in those shops again.

The cables were from the set that I bought back in Feb, the string was from about 3 weeks ago when the peep sight cut two strings, apparently they built the string and just put it on without checking for length or timing the bow, granted they did not charge me for that string since the peep had cut the first string that they built and put in the peep.

I'm starting to think that myself, problem is I can't afford to replace this one right now.

Or maybe it's the shooter.

Sell it and get a recurve. Samick Sage for like $129. You won't be able to shoot as far probably but you'll never have more fun with archery than shooting traditional. And you won't be constantly fighting the equipment.

You sound like my wife, she say's that I'm doing this so I can get a new bow.

The limb should be covered under the warranty.

It should, but this day and age you never know, I'm just wondering why it cracked. I could see if I had dry fired it, but the fact that there was an arrow nocked when the D-loop came undone makes no sense.

If'n I were you I'd listen to whatever Shaw recommends.

Ignore/disregard anything that Atoler says cause he don't know a damn thing about bow hunting!

This. I had a pse crossbow limb split once and they replaced it no questions asked.
Take it to Shaw and let him restring it. Also check your trigger release for burrs if your having that much trouble with d loops. Dont give up. It will get better iif you stick with it.

Sounds as if your shop doesn't have a clue. Find another shop with good reputation and get it fixed right. Don't let it discourage ua.

Drive and see Shaw. Leave it with him. If he can't fix it, give it back to them. He is very helpful if you have troubles. Fine fellow he is.

Shaw, Thanks again for all you helped me with and answering my stupid questions.

Sounds like the shop is full of tweakers. After all that I would not be surprised to hear anything. The limbs should be covered by PSE.

I personally would not by different strings from cables but that shouldn't matter.

You can believe I would have had some sharp damn words with the shop owner.

Like someone else said, take it to Shaw and let him clean up your local shops mess.

He has a rock solid reputation.

I would get the limb replaced, sell it, and buy a quality used bow like a Mathews or Hoyt. You've had nothing but problems with that bow.

Well I got the Decree back with 4 knew limbs and bought a Hoyt.

what did you get?

Hoyt Defiant 30, shot it a couple of times and loved the draw cycle on it.
