HELP !! Tip broke off Matrix 380 limb !!

Post by F250-2 »

I shot a deer with it two nights ago. I thought I would fire a couple practice shots before heading out tonight. First shot - good. Second shot - POW !! tip off the right limb is gone. It appears the tips are glued on to the end of the limb. I can see a crack in the adhesive on the left tip. Arrow was seated correctly, bought the 380 in July of 2014, a few hundred shots with it, brace hgt. was correct, all screws were tight. Excalibur is closed for the Canadian Thanksgiving. Leaving in about a week for a bow hunt in the mid west !!

oh my lord.....I hope you get fixed up quickly.
I just took my m380 down from its hanging bed and looked over the tips....
I don't see any separations but, I'm blind as a bat and need to get the
magnifying glass out. 100-150 shot since new in 10/13.
new strings and 500gr arra's deployed. 1/4" off the RBBB and the same with the prior reds system.
I will be looking closely.......thank you :wink:

X2 tell him of the urgency,, let me say one thing. I have swapped limbs on both my 380's, and with both bows after they were sighted in, changing limbs did not affect my zero out to 40 yards enough to matter, I could hunt without rezeroing either bow!!! You will be taken well care of,,,, limbs hardware string,, Good Luck!!

It would be easier to offer suggestions or help you if we knew your location.
Why not fill out your profile a bit ?

Just give him a credit card number and he will ship them and reverse the charges when you send your limbs back.
