What's wrong here?

[Fletchero]

I ordered a bow in mid June and was told 4wks.
TODAY I got this thing in the mail.
And yes it's strung correctly


 

[kctreeman]

Unacceptable!  I think that I would be calling the bowyer and getting my money back.

[Aram]

If that copper dot is a penny, your bow is a very tiny one.

Oh, yes, the tiller is off also but that's to be expected on such little bows.


OK, seriously...
Get your money back. If not publish the bowyers name here and on every other trad archery forum and magazine you can find.

[deadpool]

i woulda been sooooooo pissed off!!!
i would make the guy pay me back with interest!!!
if that were possible....
hmm shows how commited some bowyers can be in thier work..
pityful

[Fletchero]

START @ the bottom,
I'm not gonna try to get my money back cause it might take a year,

I've got a bow built for you. I really like this design it seems really fast. I just wanted to touch base with you and let you know I'll get a bow out to you in a few days.
 
Thanks, Wes

            Mr. Martin, I never recieved my bow, send me an update, I ended up missing the opener on Saturday and had to find a loaner just to get some hunting in on Sunday.

                I don't think I got an email honestly. I think I"m having email trouble again. I emailed a guy for a month before we figured out he wasn't getting mine. Anyway, I will be done. I built one but lost the reflex in the grip so have another that is highly reflexed that I'm working on now. I plan on finishing it next week.
                 
                Thanks, Wes

                    Hey Mr. Martin I haven't heard back from you regarding my last email and your thoughts on my bow being shipped by the Texas archery opener(sept 29)
                    If you honestly don't think it will be ready please just let me know so I can start looking for a loaner, I still have 2 weeks before Sat Sept 29th.
                    Either way please send me an email.
                    Thanks Ray Villegas

That really sucks.

Wonder what it looks like drawn. It really looks like the relex came out of the limb on the right.

[Apex Predator]

There are enough threads about this bowyer for me to skip several "good looking" ones on E-XXX.  I feel for you brother.

Small claims court.

[Gene Roberts]

that must stink.

[dorris]

up til now I always thought wes martin bows were supposed to be good ones . Man I must have missed something if thats what he sends out for a bow . I would definately ask for my money back thats the absolute worst bow I think i have ever seen .

[hawk22]

Who is the bowyer?

[mountaindog]

i picked up a used bow that he made back in april.. osage and stained bamboo... it's not a bad shooter.... it definately doesnt look like that.... what a bummer... i would be pretty heated.... :mad:  

mike

[doublewhopper]

What the heck???

[drewsbow]

HaH , the first thing I thought when I saw this bow was Wess Martin . I had similar expierence with him and will never and I do mean never get another of his bows , took over a year:0)Yes when it showed up the tiller was off also , just plain crap work if you ask me :0)

[TimZeigler]

To many good deals here and through reputable bowyers to be taking chances on the auction site.  Unfortunately your not the first or last to be taken for a ride.  Sorry about your luck. Tim
