I went to take my bow off of the bow tree down at the range and noticed a small chunk of the "carbon fiber" was missing? Is this structural? Is this limb still safe to shoot?
The peg on the bow tree was a little old, but I was very careful. I guess it's time to invest in a bow stand. Brand new Hoyt 720's I got for Christmas too... =[
I have never had a chip that deep but on small dings I put some super glue on it and have good luck. I don't know how cross weave carbon handles with chips?
Is it possible it has been hit with an air rifle pellet or something similar? Maybe you could fill it with some epoxy resin, but I wouldn't shoot it without wearing safety glasses at least.
It looks like a hunk of resin. Typically, wovens are produced at stage2 and the resin softens to flow stage when pressed with heat at a proper temp. That looks like a resin rich area where the resin pooled instead of fully wetting that area.
I had some fibers pop out on some limbs this year. It looked like a gash. I was able to shoot the FITA field tournament I was at, and an NFAA field shoot. I stopped when I noticed a big tiller change.
just guessing, but when car upholstery looks like that it is usually cigarette burns. But nothing seems to have effected the next layer. air pocket let loose?
After a good deal of back and forth and lot of waiting I've finally got good news. I received a back-order notification for a pair of 840's from Lancaster!
Good on both Lancaster and Hoyt for helping make this right.
I never heard directly from Hoyt, but I got a backorder notification for a set of 840s from Lancaster. They are due to ship March 17th.
