I had two of my bows explode last year the first day of hunting season. The first one had a weak spot on the back caused from a knot, and the other one didn't like going from a 70 degree car into 25 degree weather without acclimating. I wasn't even able to find all the pieces to either of them. It's never a good day when this happens
