Excalibur Matrix 380 Problem

[Newman]

I had recently posted about my string breaking after the 8th time I shot my new Excalibur 380 Matrix crossbow.

I ended up finding the string about 50 feet away from where I shot the bow. I will upload a picture of the very end of the limb when I get off of work. Customer support sent me an email and said they would replace the string and limbs if needed. There is a small dent which looks like the size of a hole punch in a piece of paper and is about 1-2 cm deep on the very edge of the limb right under the spot you attach the string. Does anybody think this would create a problem with the limb? I doesn’t look as if it will touch the string when replaced but will be mighty close. This is my second crossbow and first with a recurve system so I am somewhat new to the crossbow game.

I believe I will go ahead and buy a string while I wait for them to send me one since bow season for deer is already in and don’t wanna sit around waiting too long.

pictures say a thousand words. a hole 1-2cm? or do you mean mm? on the limb edge or on the face of the limb?

why don't you go ahead and put that string back on(if there is no strands broken)
and give it a try..
if it flew of then I suspect it was a full or partial dryfire or the loops too big.
it has happened to most of us
