Title: Need your Opinion
Post by: Holepuncher on August 24, 2013, 01:44:00 PM
I had a Bowyer build me a Takedown with a longbow and recurve limbs. I paid right at $1000.00 for it.  about a year later the riser developed a crack just above the rest. I sent it back for repair. What would be a reasonable length of time for me get back in my hands.

No one but your bowyer can answer that. If you're desperate, maybe he could lend you a riser until yours is repaired.

It was a month the 18th of August. He cant loan me one,he doesnt offer that particular riser on his website so I assume he doesnt build it anymore.

Why? Wood is prone to failure. Call the man. Ask to have your bow be a priority. If he is unreasonable and the terms of your warranty allow for a refund then ask for your money.

I sure don't think a month is unreasonable.

Depends.  Did he give you an estimated time?
If he said 2 weeks and its been a month I'd be asking but its hard to answer question without all info.

Best of luck
