Limb fail

Re: Limb fail
I haven't seen a new Excal come from out of the box with the brace height set correctly, by the time its made and shipped and finally opened, the factory string has stretched, that's just the way it is, no fault of the manufacturer, the fault usually is the new owner not aware what it is suppose to be or the dealer being uneducated in informing the new owner of the do's and don'ts of their new bow

Re: Limb fail
Another member here, forgive me if I'm wrong. I think Anthony? Made the suggestion of a tag on the bow string of every new bow that leaves the factory. Indicating the importance of proper brace height prior to shooting of the bow.bdog wrote:I haven't seen a new Excal come from out of the box with the brace height set correctly, by the time its made and shipped and finally opened, the factory string has stretched, that's just the way it is, no fault of the manufacturer, the fault usually is the new owner not aware what it is suppose to be or the dealer being uneducated in informing the new owner of the do's and don'ts of their new bow

Re: Limb fail
Just got a New Bulldog 400 and it had a bright green tag on the string warning to keep your fingers below the string, to adjust 1/8 to 1 inch from the joint and stringer aid part #

I'll send it in for a replacement . Any one else have this happen ? I'm a new owner of an Excalibur my other xbow is a Barnett.
You should see about replacing the limbs too ,not just the string.

Re: Limb fail
Still no pics? I have yet to shoot my grizzly but I'm getting ready.
Mt string is lined up on the line on the brace. I don't want this to happen.
