I had a 3 peice Chastain that turned into a 4 peice at full draw and then I got his split limb take down but didn't have the glue to put back together.

I see some have answered with problems with Chastain Bows. Are they works of art? Art is in the eyes of the beholder. I think yes. They are hunting bows meant for rough use. As for workmanship and warranty I also had one turn in to a 4 piece. Spoke with Keith about it and explained what happened. He had me send the bow back. He sent the bow back with a new set of limbs and a new warranty. His custormer service, craftmanship, and bow performance are oustanding. That is why I own 2 and would own more except the misses whould have a fit. Everyone that ask to shoot my bows are sold on them and want one also. You can't go wrong with a Chastain.

Never shot a chastain, but have heard repeatedly over the years that the finish is among the worst out there (meaning saw marks, etc). Have also read about way too many archers who have had issues with cracked limbs, etc. No thanks-I'd definitely go with the assenheimer or foley.
