Went out with hunting rig for my evening shooting session.... Other than a busted lip, bruised cheek and no small amount of disappointment I'm OK.

Just goes to show equipment failure can happen anytime. Even though there were no warning signs or evidence of a problem its still a good idea to check your gear.

Happened at full draw btw.

Ow that hurts. As long as you didn't get hurt everything will be OK. You can always get a new bow.

Looks like you had the connexion hinge.  I have heard about several failures with that type of takedown.

Dang, that sucks!  I've had several bows break and they only do it at full draw. One of them was a connexion hinge when the screws broke. I have 4 Mohawks, all 52-53 # if you need a back for your backup.

Just happened to me yesterday . Did not break but the riser separated as I was drawing. 66" Mohawk 45lbs. Been trying to contact Vince .

Got to thinking and just want to be clear.  I think every bow made has the potential for failure in some fashion.  This just happens to be a Mohawk, I've loved each one I have had and wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

that sucks.
I have been there the same way. had a recurve lower limb give out 3 days before leaving for a big hunt. It sucks bad. But now you get to buy a new bow! so there is a silver lining!
