Glad you weren't seriously hurt to bad about your bow .

Vince does make great bows, but I am a little afraid of the take-down system. All systems have failures, but I have heard more from that system that the others. Glad that you are ok.

True. Love how simple the hinge is but to be honest I don't know that I'd get that system again

Man what a bummer, glad youre 'generally' ok. Hope you get back shooting soon. Don't let what happened hold you back.

Not at all. Was bummed for a bit but got up and put the quiver on my other Mohawk and got to shooting. I'm still ready, it's all good

Sorry, that's terrible. Glad it didn't bite you!

Sorry for you hope you can replace it with something you like.My favorite Bob Lee limbs blew up about a month ago.The new replacements just don't have the feel of my old ones.Kip

Thank you Eric for being a great example of how to handle such a negative situation.

Also for pointing out the fact that anything made by human hands can fail.

Sometimes even people fail but the awesome ones get up and begin again...just like you have done!

Not to insinuate that you failed in any way but just the opposite my friend, you have succeeded in the midst of your bow's failure.

Thank you again!

God bless,Mudd

Bummer, it's only happened to me once so far, bamboo backed oak. I had been hearing a funny "creaking" for a couple of shots, but couldn't see any physical defects. I thought maybe it was just the grip shifting or something, then all of a sudden...snapped in half. Fortunately the leather grip acted as a kind of hinge. I had actually won that bow and had nothing in it, but it was a great shooter and seriously hurt my feelings. Oh Well, it happens, you weren't seriously injured is the main thing.

Here in Michigan, archery deer season opens Oct. 1st...many years ago, I had my bow break on September 20th...with no back up.

I was hunting with a new bow on the opener, and I killed a deer with it two weeks after that. It`s been fifteen years...still with the same bow, BUT now I have a back up.

Glad you weren`t hurt.
