Hi Gang,
I recently received a new bow and stringing it up right out of the box (with a stringer!) I noticed one limb was definitely askew. Not severely, but definitely not striaght.
So, I contacted the bowyer and he said to push on the limb the opposite direction I need the limb to move and pull on the string in the direction I want the limb to move. I need to say here that the limb has a bamboo core with ceramic belly and carbon fiber back so I know I can't just twist (corkscrew) the limb.
When I do as suggested the limb does straighten out (I go beyond straight when working with it), but as soon as I send one arrow down range it's right back where it was. I have slightly, and I mean slightly, heated the limb with a hair dryer and moved it, but same results when I shoot one arrow.
Any suggestions? The bow shoots very well, but I just don't like knowing that it isn't exactly right. Help!

I know it's painful, but send it back to the bowyer to let them examine it. Twisting the limbs or messing with them could possibly void the warranty. Just be safe, send it back for inspection.

I am very suprised the bowyer didn't recommend mailing it back.
-
yep, it needs to go back. Carbon and ceramic sounds kinda expensive. I'd sure expect it to come back to me.
LOL

Don't mess with it Terry ! I know you waited a long time for this bow ! but its not right send it back. Or better yet let me and Desert Dude take it back. :saywhat:

After all the @#%*& you went through with this boyer, send it back. This is uncalled for!!! After making you wait an extra 7 months, giving you the run around, now this. Very unprofessional. This make s me sick...........! :mad:

I'd say send it back. If the guy doesn't make it right, (and SOON) file a BBB complaint, and tell the world. If you paid by credit card, you can always use the card company's dispute resolution process as well. Unless I miss my guess as to the bowyer, this isn't the first time he's had a less-than-satisfied customer.
The "catch-22" is that you're out a bow, and/or your money for that much longer. Good luck, whatever your decision!

Thanks Guys, and to Larry and Mark, thanks for the back up! Cool down, have a beer, take it easy. Down, boys, down! I was hoping to bring it up to Lake Henshaw this weekend, but per EVERYONE, I sent it back this morning. So, we'll wait and see what happens. It really is a nice bow and flat screams a 9-10gr arrow. And groups great! Ugh! Although you guys know I like heavy.
Anyhow, thanks to everyone for there input. I
ll keep you posted.

yep good to send it back, i dont know who you got it from but that should have been their first advise. but i hope they make it right and you have many good hunts with your bow.

Can you PM and tell me who you bought it from?
Thanks
