my bow just blew up

[michigandeerslayer]

I just picked up a bow off of this other site (at) it was a proline. Well I just went out to site it in and as I drew it back the top limb blew out of the pocket. So here I stand with a riser in my hand, and 2 limbs hanging on by the string. It looks like the spot where the limb bolt threads in stripped out. Is there any recourse from the manufacture? All I know is i have had string go on me before but this was really scary. The string is still in one piece and the cams are good. Im just lucky my 4 year old wasnt stand next to me like he usally is when I go outside

So now I have no bow, no money and i dont know what to do

Sorry to hear.....we see lot's of internet purchases end up badly.

Proline is now out of business, so I don't know if you'll be able to find parts.

Which model Proline? I have a New Wave...28" 70lbs but the top limb is just starting to fray a little bit. I've been looking for a set of limbs but no luck. It draws fine and seems safe, but one never knows. If I come across a set of limbs for it, I'll get it set up and you'd be welcome to use it. Has a Tm hunter style rest, Proline site, mercury stab, and proline quiver. Just need to find some limbs.......
