"catastrophic limb failure" ?!?! Wow that don't sound good. Happened to me last yr with a PSE Evo. Bottom limb shattered when one of the mod screws came loose and the screw head smashed into the lower limb. I never could keep them tight...even with loctite...it just slowed the process down. I ended up selling it after it was repaired and being bow less for the rest of the season.
My wife and I shared her bow the rest of the tournaments...a Mathews Jewel @ 38 lbs and 2" too short of draw for me. lol We were a sight on the courses. Sharing the same bow. It didn't hit anywhere close to where her pins were set with me shooting it but I learned how to compensate and actually won several local shoots and finished 2nd in the ASA state championship with it. I had to borrow a bow to go shoot the ASA Classic with because I still didn't have enough $ to get one for myself and we couldn't share the same bow there because we had the same shoot times on different courses. A friend of mine let me borrow their Prestige, as they were done target shooting for the yr and I put my stuff on it and had 4 days to get a feel for it and set up before the Classic. Finished 19th with it but wonder what it might have been had I had her Jewel or a bow of my own haha.
