[QUOTE="trbii, post: 4146980, member: 2449"] Interesting story, thanks for posting it, ThipNim. Sorry to hear your crossbow broke. Don’t have any helpful advice other than agreeing it’s time to buy a new one. Brought back a memory of a compound crossbow breaking during the launch of a bolt in practice. Guy named Brian and his dad ran a reloading supply shop back in the 1980’s here in Tulsa. He custom cut and assembled some field point practice arrows for me to use on my pawn shop bought recurve bow. He said he and a buddy were firing a compound crossbow in his shop during a slow business day when he got a big surprise. The bow broke violently in his hands, while aiming it, holding the thing close to his face. Mercifully, he wasn’t injured. Caused me to wonder about the longevity of the component parts of compound bows, crossbows. How long can the parts, bowstring, cams, pulleys, bow limbs hold up being strung year after year? Perhaps a reason I just stuck with a recurve bow that I could unstring (destring?) Although admitting I admire the strength and speed of compounds. [/QUOTE]
