Took my Ancient Spirits Sequoia takedown out to shoot this morning with some new arras. First shot, I think my glove somehow caught the knock, which is a loose fit on my string, and basically resulted in a dry fire. I gave the bow a quick exam, and no harm done, it seemed.
Four arrows later, it blew up on me. This was the nicest bow I ever owned, not only gorgeous to look at, but as sweet to shoot.  

Ohhh man thats terrible   :(

That's horrible but at least you weren't seriously injured. Do you think you can salvage the limbs and get a new riser?

Sorry to here that, were you ok?

:eek:  Man, that hurts just to look at it. I can see why you feel sick. That was a beautiful bow.

:(      

Sorry to hear that, this is really too bad!

Looking to the picture again, is the second limb salvageable?

F-Manny

i feel sick just thinking about how you must feel sick.  i have dry fired a compound bow, and when checking it for damage, dry fired it again!  terrible things happen and i feel for ya!

I think one limb is salvageable, but I'm guessing it would cost close to what a new bow would go for to save it. I will contact JD Emerson about it. Fortunately, I escaped injury on this one, unlike the time a white oak board bow that I made let go on me. It took a while for the bleeding to stop on that one ...

Sorry to hear about your bow, but Glad you weren't hurt...

  What a bummer......feel for ya man.

i am a little queezy

I've had dry-fires on many of my bows in the past and none of them resulted in that kind of damage - is this kind of damage typical?
Gosh, that is a beautiful bow, too....

Make a grown man


Glad your OK, what a bummer.

Sorry for your loss. It hurts to loose a good bow. Glad to here you were not injured.

That just sucks.  I am glad you are o.k.  She sure was a pretty gal and it's terrible she had to go that way.

Get ahold of Timthefuelman on here, he's got a few of his bows. He may be able to get you in touch with the bowyer as i believe they shot together at ETAR. From what i understand he may be able to help you out and maybe even send you a replacement until he's done, he's pretty cool like that. Tell Tim i told you to talk to him. Sorry about that man......


P.

do you still have a warranty on the bow?, if not, still give him a call and see what kind of a deal he can make ya for another one, I had a longbow that did not even have a warranty on it(small time bowyer)and snapped on me at full draw, when I told him what happened, he made me a new one for a third the original cost

OUCH! Sorry              

Sorry, what a beauty. Gotta go now and take a swig of Pepto Bismol..... Good Luck.
