    That's really an odd one. You didn't have the limb bolts backed too far did you? I'd definitely have your dealer take a look-see and/or contact customer service, but with only drawing a couple inches I doubt I doubt there'd be any serious damage to other parts (limbs, etc). At least let's hope so.

    Well first step is to find out what went wrong and why, then we'll figure out if it was stupid or not

    Did the proshop have any ideas as to what happened? The Limb bolt blowing out seems pretty catastrophic to me....
    My wife packed my bags and threw me out, as I was walking out the door, she told me "I hope you have a long and miserable life!"... To which I replied "Oh, now you want me to stay?!" LOL
