It's happened..one week old micro...

[Botchio]

Wow, that grouping is impressive at 50 yards. Seeing that I should drag my block back out and keep practising haha. As far as me sticking around, don't need to worry about that I'm not going anywhere, definitely excited to be a part of the excalibur family.

So, would you suggest then that I keep shooting it? If it doesn't effect the shot consistency then it's nothing to really worry about?

You have what looks like more than just one sliver. If you decide to shoot it I would keep a real close eye on it. Treat it as if it could go at any moment. I would have said otherwise if it were anything other than a micro.

I think you said you were in Cambridge. Why mess around? Just call them tomorrow and stop in.

Me personally, given where that is and the direction it is heading, I'd say no..

[Buddyshort]

I would not trust it like that, get it fixed. Too much stress there to not fix it. Dont shoot a broken bow

Roger that, warranty claim filed online, I'll call from work tomorrow and arrange a visit.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Ya as close as you are and have not really worked up a good setup yet, and will be back out in no time. But I would cock it and check the tiller if it is even from side to side the limb is still working. This doesn't mean its not a crack and yes it could be a void that was sanded and filled but like others said you gave up a hunt and sounds like your not ready yeat to hunt with it so I would start fresh.

Then when you get it back I suggest you shoot the arrow with heads you intend to hunt with before shooting at game. Any change in any arrow insert, vane style, nock style, head style, weight anything needs verified before using it to hunt with.

I also advise you to do some checking here and would suggest if you want something better for hunting get some Spynal Tapps 16" to 16.5" to start with, and know you have the best, I will never shoot less than a 390 or 400 grain arrow in mine,, my 412 ngrain arrows shoot better than the over a dozen different combinations I have tried!! good luck!!

Welcome! As others have said call them and pop in!! They will take care of you!!

[wildcatter]

I don't believe I would leave mine cocked for days, don't know but would seem at some point it would have to affect the memory in the limbs,,,,,

Not likely to happen.
I would leave my Exocet cocked for weeks sometimes. Cocked it, layed the hose to it, then put it in the freezer for a few days too.
Cooked it one time, hard case left in the sun on a deck during a hot summer day, so hot the string completely elongated, limbs dropped to full rest. That is supposed to be the worst for it.
I have one arrow that I have had since day 1, it is the one I used to chrony the bow, in 8 years it never lost a single FPS.

Status Update: I stopped in to excal warehouse today and got fixed up and on my way within 30 mins. Great customer service experience, and fantastic facility. Very happy with the company, and hope this set of limbs last a long time

Welcome aboard.
I can't say much about the micro or bigger Matrix models, but the 310 and 330 I have are pretty sweet and never a problem yet other than a scope issue I had a while back
