They will replace it if I want, I'm still shooting it and don't want different limbs, This is what it did in February last season.

This is how it shoots this summer 100's of shots later. 50 yards @ 362 fps.

How I really feel,,,, a,,,,, well,,,, I think the TT feels real good, and with the heavy flemish and foam in barrel the feel of the shot is pretty good,,, with very little feel of vibration,,,, the feel when I let a shot go is confidence,,,, the feel when I shoulder the bow is only second to the Micro,,, :wink:

I guess there are a lot of ways to feel about the 380, that can only be matched by the feel of a Micro,,,, but right now I just feel like hunting season is to far away,,,,,, :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think you have plenty of time to send it in for replacement. And back for the season. That's what i'd do, but i would sure sand it down and go with it if, the season was tomorrow. Unless those limbs are sweet hot one's..Smile..

not sure of the definition of sweet hot limbs but have learned the hard way that 60 yards is still too close to shoot 3 shot groups at the same target unless you don't mind ruining bolts.

I had a splinter about an eighth inch deep and two and a half inches long on my M380. I broke it off, cleaned up with a dremel tool and sanded it smooth. I must've put close to a thousand shots on it before my tiller went. A splinter that size wouldn't be noticeable either way but I certainly understand changing it. Mine was right before hunting season so I held off.

I would get it replaced rather than wonder about it. I just got new limbs on my 355 and the total process took about 5 days as there was a local warranty center.

Each limb contains over 250,000 individual strands of fiberglass. Sanding down a small sliver will not change the limb function as designed.

I apologize sweet hot limbs, simply mean limbs that are achieving beyond there advertised perimeters in velocity. Again i apologize didn't mean to confuse.....

Talk about customer service:
1) I had a RMA # within an hour or two using the online process from excalibur. Limbs arrived at the warrenty location on Monday, the new limbs were shipped out the same day an I had them Wednesday.
2) I had ordered 1 doz goldtips from David Wyvern. I caught in the email invoice he sent that he shipped the wrong bolts and sent him an email. He had the correct bolts in the mail the next business day before I even recieved the wrong ones. All I had to do was put the wrong bolts in the package, attach the prepaid mailing label he sent along with correct bolts and drop it off at the post office. I was so impressed with how quickly he fixed the problem with no headache or delay for me I dropped some $ in the package so he wouldn't have to eat the shipping. Sure he is not getting rich on a doz arrows.
WOW X2!

Going to try to get it all back together and do a little test between the goldtips and the quills to see if I can detect a difference. Will post results.
Thaks for all the responses!
