What could cause....

By the way, I didn't ask for new limbs or expect them. But the now maker said that he wanted to make them for me.

Second, I have no intention of insulting (indirectly or otherwise) the man's craftsmanship or materials in any way. I accept that it was either a mistake that I made or "just one of those things" that sometimes happens.

My $0.02, if you liked the bow, I'd absolutely contact the maker. This is a takedown with one good limb, you can purchase more limbs for the existing riser. Perhaps just a replacement lower limb, or perhaps a new pair. Sorry about your blown bow, I'd be pretty unhappy about losing any of mine.

I had a bottom limb delaminate on me at full draw that was never exposed to any sort of unusual heat, made by one of the most recognized companies in America. I got it new and it was not more than a month old.  So unfortunately as Bisch said, "IT happens".  The manufacturer could not have been better about replacing the bow--had one in the mail to me before receiving my broken bow.

The bowyer may want to have a look to see what may have happened. I would contact him.

Y'all may have convinced me to contact him. Not in order to get him to "make it right," but I believe that I would like to get more limbs for it someday and the limbs alone aren't listed on his website. I just don't want to accidentally insult him or his work. I kinda want to talk with him a little anyway, since I found out that we have a career history in common... Thanks again, everybody.
