Anyone else having limb issue with 380? I have mine a yr this Dec. and had limb tip break on original set, had another limb tip crack on second set and have a limb splinter on third set.

No issues with mine and I shoot a lot. I'm sure you've read up on the importance of brace height, your bow comes equipped with REDS and the ADF, so I'm baffled as to how one person could have such bad luck with their equipment.

....wow!....As a family we have 3-M380's again with no issues...as previously stated brace height is EXTREMELY important...not assuming anything...that is extremely rare, if unheard of.....

...Are you anywhere near Danny Miller of Horizontal Archery in Sardis, Ohio?...If you are it might be worth your weight in gold to venture on over to him and let him take a gander at it...couldn't find a nicer, more knowledgeable person when it comes to Excalibur...

...I know you are frustrated but, they will get to the bottom of this for you!


Good luck,

Anthony :)

I keep my 405 5/8' from the edge of the rail. My buddy keeps his 405 3/4" from the edge of the rail. I think the 380's are recommended as the same.

...I would definitely take that trip down to Danny Miller after the season and pick his brain and let him have a look...great man!

I did talk to Danny when I was hunting in Ohio. I was 3 hrs from him. He assured me the limb was fine and to keep hunting. Seemed like a great guy. Time did not allow me to stop in on way home but I plan to make another trip soon to visit his shop
