So to be clear… PSE bent over backwards to give you great customer service and you said screw them I’ll go to another company? This happens to bows all the time for every manufacturer. If this had happened to me I think I would be a PSE lifer due to them working with me….. I have no ties to PSE but this is silly….

Man that terrible that happened to you man I happy to hear the PSE reps were able to get you up and running so you could shoot the course buddy but as far as you saying you lost your peace of mind and confidence in your bow limbs I can understand that but I don't know if you realize that Gordon glass limb company makes all the limbs for each manufacturer in the U.S so it doesn't matter what brand of bow you go with your still getting the same quality and same manufacturers limbs even with the Hoyt bow you swapped yours out for you still got the same limbs made by the same company just with a different paint job and logo stamped on them . Every US bow company outsources their limbs to Gordon glass limb company and have been doing so for decades. Just thought you'd like to know best of luck to you and your new bow . I love the color it's beautiful man 👍🎯🏹👍

I've seen "unzipped" limbs on every major manufacturer. I've owned Mathews, Hoyt, Bowtech and PSE. Shoot what you shoot best.

Just an FYI. All of the limbs for all of the bow companies are made by the same manufacturer. No matter what you are being told.

I was a huge PSE fan for over a decade back in the late 90's/mid 2k's. Then I switched to Hoyt and haven't looked back. I go shoot all the new bows every year at my LBS and haven't found anything that would make me want to go to another brand. Maybe if they sponsored me :).

Interesting video, I found it looking to upgrade from my carbon Hoyt. I’ve owned carbon Hoyt’s since they have came out and have had 3 sets of limbs replaced by Hoyt over the years, 65lbs, 70lbs and custom 75lbs limbs. I’ve also had a carbon riser come apart and was warrantied by Hoyt. Anyway, I still think Hoyts are great bows, I’m just wanting a longer ATA carbon bow and the Hoyt Ultras are too slow at 28” draw and honestly the carbon Hoyts have gotten so heavy the carbon really doesn’t offer anything over the aluminum now.

I see you wearing a Hoyt hat. Man I can't believe that is still an issue for p.s.e. on going for 20+years. I just recently purchased my 3rd Hoyt. The Z 1 S, it's also a smooth drawing bow. Almost robinhooded broadhead turning.

Thanks for sharing…I love my RX7 Ultra 👌🏻

On any important hunt or tournament if at all possible have a back up bow. Lesson I learned many years ago. Sound like the PSE customer service rep went above and beyond to help you at the shoot. Understand why you changed. Confidence in self and equipment is paramount in exemplary performance.

When I shot Redding this year the only two guys in our group who had Mathews Bows both had the same exact thing happen to their limbs. One day after the other. They weren't together just coincidence. Just thought that might be relevant here

Lookin good bub! Nice lookin bow buddy

This can happen to any bow from any company. Either way, that sucks! I tested the Mach 30 and 34 they are amazing bows.

What would you do if the same thing happened to the hoyt now?

The more pre-bend the limbs have, the more chance you could get a compression splinter. But none of them are immune. Hoyts are notorious for splintering on the edge. The issue for me would be the fact that just a few years down the road, PSE may not have any limbs available for the Mach 34. If I chose to shun PSE, it would be for that reason alone. That being said, who the hell would go all the way out to a western hunt without a complete back-up bow this day and time? Not me. I'll probably have my bow press and extra limbs and cams, plus a back-up bow.

I want the levitate so bad. Its the best looking bow out there. Just so expensive. Limbs will fail its just the way it is.

You just sold me on PSE, thanks. That's the customer service I want. But yeah I've seen splintering on the company you're a fan of now.

The M34 is the best bow I have ever owned, it isn't even close. Sounds like the PSE rep took good care of you. Everything fails or breaks sooner or later, how the customer is taken care of matters.

That's sad, i heard that most of the limbs for the majority of bows are made from the same company in the us.. i hear you! 👍👊

Limbs are all made by the same company sooooooo this is not a good reason. I've seen it on plenty of other Companies too.

How many arrows do you think you shot threw the Mach 34? I was wondering if the carbon fatigues after awhile but I’m not sure if it does. I picked one up in April and prolly put close to 4000 shots threw it. This has me a little worried now.

Damn, was thinking about switching to PSE. How’s the levitate as far as splitting? Also, aren’t the split limbs supposed to fix the splintering? I have APA and their solid limb and have had multiple splits and was thinking it’s due to the solid limb “v.” But split limbs get rid of that issue..

Sorry to see this happened. Probably a fluke. I’ve got thousands of shots through a 80lb s2 Mach 34 with no issues at all.

I got nothing but Pse bows and no issues with them

why I always have a backup bow

Can’t do PSE, sorry.

Man it seems Mathews and hoyt are the two manufacturers that are making trouble free bows. Bowtechs have terrible cable wear, elites are hit or miss on whether they'll tune, and pse is a solid meh.

It’s becoming apparent that quality issues with PSE is starting to degrade, since the change of ownership of PSE from founder/original owner ( Pete Shepley ) to some off brand investment group. Pretty darn sad. I still own 4 original bows ( before change of ownership ) of earlier years, and they all shoot lights out to this day, with proper maintenance, and maybe some minor accessory changes like upgraded sights, and that’s pretty much it. All in all, all 4 of them seem to shoot better if not the same performance as the day they were out of the box. Sorry for your dilemma, but hey…..nice rig ya got there buddy…good luck with future TAC, and future hunts 😎🏹🏹👍
