Hate that for you! I bet it was hard to bite your lip until you were clear of your hunting area.

I've adopted too many bows that needed a good home.

I had one do the same thing. Martin promptly replaced it. Worth a call.

Ouch!  Hurts just to look.

I have a 55# I bought new in about 1995.  Doesn't have that "Martin" decal, but that's probably not what caused it.  ;-)

Was the bow a new one?  

I was thinking by the serial it may have been from 2008 or 2010.

A friend had a new DC that did the same thing about 5-6 years ago, but Martin replaced it promptly with a new one.  No problems since...

Update on this misfortune:

Martin Co. will replace bow (under Warranty), with a "Mamba",
per my request. I was informed that "Dreamcatchers" are no longer being produced.

Good info...gonna scratch on my hand:

"DO NOT BUY DREAMCATCHER"

But I'm glad Martin is going to send you a Mamba which should be a good one.

This is the replacement "Mamba".
Notice how the current riser is slimmed-down,
from previous years. Very handy!  [/url] [/IMG]

Sorry about your dreamcatcher but them Mambas shoot good and fast. Looks good especially with the skins.
