I owe Forum an Apoligee

[vixenmaster]

Its my fault that i assumed my vixen had a lifetime warranty. I have been informed that is not the case. I need to read better n not go by word of ear or mouth. Now fer those who piled on after Peter made it well known i was wrong. He is n was correct, y'all shouldn't run in a pack peckin at me. You feel i was wrong thats fine, but talk to me here in the open about it !

Like most things in life there is good news and bad news.

Bad news they have no more carved tip limbs to offer you.

Good news. The bow served you well for 20 years. If you choose to buy the new limbs you will have another 20 years before you need another set..

Sounds like a win win situation to me.

....and as I understand, a couple of members have offered their carved Vixen limbs to ya Mike....

....I do understand your original venting and I am not sure i would have reacted any differently than thou....having cut my eye teeth on the unquestionable 100% Excalibur Warranty which apparently has gone through an iteration or two and currently the verbal understanding differs from the written one! 'nuff said by me...time to move on!

All's well that ends well. Consider all the good: after 20ish years of trouble free usage, a 5 year warrantied part broke and was offered for replacement at well less than 1/2 the new price. That's a great deal.
Additionally, vintage Excal owners being what they are, at least 2 offered their vintage limbs for no cost. Another nice pair of offers.
We've all learned more about our "best in the business" warranties.
Time to move on.

Easy mistake. I would have thought the same as you. But is it just limbs? I seem to recall a guy who had an issue with his wolverine that would fire when the safety was flicked off. I don't think he was out any $ on that repair. But perhaps that's b/c of a safety issue and not considered a wearable item? Where is the line drawn?

I guess that's where discretion comes in

[newbie]

everyone would have vented just as you Mike.
I thought the same but had issues with my wolverine and got the same thing many moons ago.
I think a whole bunch of people didnt know they were 5 years before 2010 but do now.
That vixen is worth the 80 bucks to you in memories.... dont let it go to parts bud.

[onebigskittle]

I sure learned something,So thanks for venting.

[sproulman]

Try waxing your bow and see if they pile on..lol.. I think what came out of this was info I did not know that full warranty went in after 2010..

like my luepold was 40 years old and they charged me 80 bucks for 500 dollar scope ..I was very happy what a scope i have over older one ...

I have 800 dollar recurve bow hanging on wall that i would be lucky to get 100 dollars but it has memories ...

[wabi]

Yep, it had a 5 year warranty.......but.......
Excalibur always warranted them way beyond that when Bill T was still the owner.
Yours is the first I'd heard of that has been refused for free repair. Perhaps the new owners are more concerned with profits than customer loyalty.

[Hunt it]

Sorry folks but a lot of this is BS. A 20 yr old xbow breaks and warranty expected???? I would not have the nerve to even ask - I'd buy new limbs if they existed. Regular folks on here know dam well how well Excalibur looks after us, yet many griping about it. Even after many of these things get basterdized and altered and Excalibur has still fixed the messes that have been created. Enough of the whining and go hunting. Don't knock something you know is above average.
