I do not think it is something you will ever have to worry about. Guys here have and still shoot the first Excalibur's with no issues.
Shoot often and shoot safe!

the limbs should last for many years, remember not to leave in a hot place direct sun in a car or truck. don't dryfire as others have said. one other biggy keep all fingers hands toes or whatever below the rail/string deck. it will only take you one time to learn from first hand experience!

You're right about that Smokepole! Pain is an excellent way to firmly implant a memory, even in a 56 year olds brain. It worked on me in grade 3 as well, when I wouldn't memorize my times tables in math. Oh the good old days!

Sorry to highjack your thread, blackjack!
