I can't believe this. Let me preface this by saying that I'm very conscience of the condition of my bow and equipment. I always go through a "pre-flight" routine. I feel the limbs, inspect the tips, and inspect the string every single time I pick it up to shoot. I don't drop my bow. I'm careful to not let the limbs hit anything. I leave the bow strung, unless I'm traveling. I don't leave it in hot vehicles and keep it stored on a horizontal bow rack.
The bow specs are OL Adcock non-acs takedown, 68", 8" brace height, 14 strand FF, beaver silencers, double brass nock set, 63# at my 31" draw, new 635 grain arrows with new nocks (correctly fitted to the string).
Now to the point. I was shooting a few arrows like I do every morning. Everything was going well. I was hitting my target, the bow was quiet. On about my 7th or 8th shot, something happened. I thought I had dryfired. Then I noticed the string was off the top limb. I then looked at the bottom limb. It was destroyed.
The pics will show what happened.
I really don't know what to do now. This was my favorite bow. In fact, it's my main bow. I don't even have arrows for my other one. My wife got it for me for my 40th birthday, and although it was used, it was a perfect fit for me. We spent more on it than we should have, but I figured I'd rather have one really nice bow than a couple of mediocre ones. I planned on using it exclusively for the next few years and get really good with it. I was going to go shoot in my first 3d tomorrow. That's out now.
I guess I could have someone make up some limbs for it. I don't think OL Adcock makes these anymore or even makes anything these days. I really couldn't afford new ones right now anyway.
