well got off the phone with the manufactor,,well what a wasted morning on the phone.they dont carry a lifetime warranty,they carry a 50 percent warranty on anything over a year old.the bow was 17mos.old..anyways heres the kicker they told me not to use a wood bow for bowfishing and you should use a metal riser bow,well not gonna happen..so heres the options go ahead and give them the money because of poor craftsmanship,or go ahead and make my own like i kinda want to do anyways :knothead:
If you use real dry pignut hickory for a bowfishing bow or a goose hunting bow make sure that you have a real good finish on the bow, mine drank a lot and turned sluggish. A year in the attic with no finish and a retiller got it shooting better than ever. The only problem with it is, that it shoots over 170 fps. Even large carp don't slow the arrow down much.
