So now you have me thinking and I'm going to go on about branded ten point X bows.Sounds like you've been at it for a while !
I'm not entirely sure where I'll end up with this one.. If it serves me well, does what I want, and puts meat in the freezer, I may never buy another bow again. I tend to be a fan of simplicity, so the less complicated and bs the better. A big selling point to me with this bow, was that it was very basic, yet put together buy a reputible company known for quality generally. I also have a muzzleloader - one. Settled on a CVA Wolf in stainless steel, Leupold scooe, rings and bases, and its served me well for the past 2 years. I see no need for another or any sort of upgrade "just because" in the future. I'm kind of over that at this point. Now I'm just trying to sort out what REALLY works with what, and what's marketing bs..
I know of in the very least problems associated with limbs de-laminating and then hearing about from the owners dissatisfaction with manufacture warranty etc.
But, I think its becuase having personal knowledge of the owners ability to be serious, and by that I mean not actually bow hunters in a hard core sense not just some guy using bow hunter seasons as a filler.
More than likely they let the limbs hit a stand rail or even dry fired or poorly maintained to some extant and just bitched becuase they were frustrated, embarrassed for what they laid out in funds or whatever.
Lots of people shift blame particularly when it shifts from user error to the product manufacturer becuase its easier to do that it seems to me. Loss of time to days afield is additive in that regard I think.
As far as archery goes or anything for that matter theirs a personal accountability in there somewhere when you learn about these things year after year.
I can guarantee that Wicked Ridge will kill as supposed tonight and it hasent been fired since early last year before Early muzzle loader and the barn has to be 100 deg regularly now.
Its just how I described earlier. heavy unwieldy loud etc little bit of string wear probably from the elements mostly but accurate and consistent. safe etc without a doubt based on my experience.
The only bow I ever had fold up on me was Browning Excellerator and that was back in the day when release aids were for chicks and nerds but it was my fault for overdrawing too light a spine arrows and cranked all the way up. It was the limbs that broke too not the laminated wooden riser.
