Killer Instinct Boss 405 review

[TNGunsmoke]

Second set of limbs cracked today. 2 cracked limbs in 2 season, I'm done with it. Bought a Bear Banish 420 today and just about have it sighted in. Probably ought to get some heavier bolts for it too. I can't recommend the KI after cracking 2 sets in under 2 seasons.

I bought a swat XP last year. A limb broke on a western hunt in less that a year. No abuse hardly shot except to check zero. Killed one doe with it. Try to call customer service and see what happens. Hope your holds up better than the swatxp !

Walking into the stand last night with the bow cocked and I hear "Tink" from behind my right ear. Looks like a small crack has started on the lower right limb. We'll see how good their warranty service is I guess. To be fair, the limb has not broken, and did not fail completely, but I am leery of using it until it is at least checked out, and preferably replaced.

I've heard that "tink" before. It was a different manufacturer and when it started "tink, tink, tinking" I held it out and down as from me as possible. I was in a treestand. We it went boom, completely disintegrated. Luckily nothing bad happened but it was a pucker factor of about 6 for a minute. My limbs were replaced, no problem. Just call your manufacturer and tell them the bow is delaminating. This has happened twice with me. Two different manufacturer's, one a complete catastrophic failure and one just partly delaminated. Both fixed with no problems.

My Killer Instinct broke right pass the trigger . I think someone sit on it because I had it in a case on the sofa fir a couple days as I was trying to decide to go hunting . Went hunting got it out of case and seen it was cracked . Tried coucking it but it wouldn't chocolate chip cookie . I'd hate to try and get this fixed under warranty but I may try because I don't know for sure someone sit on it. Otherwise I was satisfied with it . But seeing @TNGunsmoke was having problems with the limbs I may buy another one . Been shooting my bow hoping my shoulder would hold up. Even hunted one day with my Mathews . I cranked it down some and reset my sights .
