Micro 335 Limb Tip Question

chargeon · Post by **chargeon** » Sun Jan 17, 2016 10:54 am

Hello All! New to this forum (and forums in general, so please pardon my ignorance) and a proud new owner of a Micro 335 (my first crossbow)! First off, I'd like to thank everyone for all the insightful and indispensable information on this forum. It's been very helpful. While adjusting the brace height, I noticed a slight difference in how far the limbs are glued into the limb tips. The left limb has about an 1/8" gap on the tapered part that sticks into the limb tip. The right limb has about a 1/4" gap. Both seem solid enough, and the distance between the end of the tip and the rail on both limbs seems to pretty much be the same to the naked eye (with a measuring tape). But, this being such a high powered bow, should this be a cause for concern? I've definitely gotten the Excalibur bug, and I'd hate to have something bad happen to my new baby. Thanks!

Please ignore whatever broken says as he is posting on here to only mislead people about the truth. He has been banned from many sites cause he is a trouble maker.

I do not believe that there is any problem with your limb tips. As long as the tip is secure your good to go. There have been very few tips come off and I believe that was because of the epoxy, not because of positioning.

It is sad when a person resorts to trying to create a fear when there is not a need for it just because he has had his feelings hurt in the past.

What you are likely looking at is the difference in the grind. They are hand ground. If in doubt, measure from the outside limb tip to the mainframe/rail.
You can pretty much tell that the guy known as "broken limb" is a non compis mentis. He has nothing of value to say. I put him on ignore (foe) and I suggest you do the same. He's been banned ed from all forums with the exception of one. That one is where he gets encouragement to come here and act as (not like) and idiot.

Thanks Tom and Boo! I've been lurking on the forum long enough to know that Boo pretty much has celebrity status, so your input is greatly appreciated. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it, but I think you confirmed what I suspected was the case. Not sure if it'll work, but I just wanted to try to post some pictures to see if I could actually do it (still figuring this stuff out). Either way, thanks again!

Just thinking of your safety first if my input gets others mad because I put safety first than thats great.You should just have your dealer look at your limbs for your safety and others.Equipment will fail and thats alot power near your face..yes I have a bitter taste in my mouths these 2 members told me not to worry about my micro and matrix when I asked same questions as you both my bows failed because I did take them to a dealer for new limbs ..one limb tip inbedded in my sheet rock wall that could have been my eyes or others in area..play safe go now to your dealer.

You are an "out right Liar". I have never spoke to you about any of your bows.

If your limb tip "inbedded" in your sheet rock, then you either shot your bow too close to the wall or had a string problem and had the string fail or come off. It is near impossible for a tip to embed like you say if the string is still attached on the tip.

Most of the tip failures (IMO, the few which have happened) is after firing, not when at full draw.

You are crossing the line on the internet now. One of these days, someone will file charges or a suit against you for libel or impersonating. I know that the FBI and the RCMP take the impersonating very seriously.

Answer to your question . The tip is not coming off . As you can see the tips are ground then the moulded tip is pressed onto the ground area . Then is painted . If your limb tip had moved there would be an area missing paint . The design of the angle grind also does not allow to slide even more onto the ground area .
As you can see I have a space at my tip as well . Have fired many shots and not moved .

One can certainly see his concern as that is not good "fit & finish". My exomax is much more symmetrical.

Yeah...looks like my tips were put on post paint. I can see the epoxy inside the limb tip. The bow shoots great, so I'm not too worried, but mine doesn't look quite as nice as Doe Master's. Supposed to be a brand new bow (at least it was sold to me as one), but do you think I may have gotten one with re-glued tips?

You limbs appear to have just a slight extra amount of glue which is a good thing and don't let the hand applied glue excess concern you, at all. Also, the tips are not glued on after the camo/paint process. Did you measure the tip to riser dimension as Boo suggested?

As with anything that I've done by hand, no 2 things are exactly the same. It's not a matter of good or not, but more a matter of luck getting both sides ground the same. Out of thousands of limbs ground, you are going to get a wide variation. Almost all of the older bows came with camo limbs and it is certainly easier to see differences with all black limbs.

Mine are all brown.

I'm not saying his are good or bad. I've worked around construction a lot, and you always see and hear the guys who are in a hurry, say, "you are just frosting the cake". The masters, know that it is the little things that can make a job look professional. His limb tips do not "look" professional.

I did and they look pretty much the same, give or take a 1/32 of an inch or two. Thanks again for all of the responses guys! I really appreciate the help!

I think Boo is saying he has a screw loose. Playing without a full deck, etc.
I agree with Boo.
