Anyone seen one of these???

wow!! thats on a mathews drenaline isn't it?? i hope it was a fluke, i bought the same bow 4 months ago! how did it happen? and what was the quality of servise from mathews in fixing it?

YIKES! Never seen that myself, but that's not good and right after you got it.

It darn well better be a FLUKE. :>/

I've heard of several of the Drenalins blowing up on people, but usually in a press wrong. I'm friends with an individual that owns an archery shop, and he has a bow press that is designed specifically for the Drenalin so this sort of thing doesn't happen. I don't think it's a very common occurance but I know it happens.

I personally own the Drenalin and love it. In fact I've already taken a big game animal with it. Believe me when I say that the first time I have to put it in my portable press, I'll be sweating bullets.

Did it snap or just slowly splinter?

Well, Mathews didn't swap it out... My pro shop did it for me, No questions asked. He just set a new one up and sent me on my way. I was glad for that!

It happened while practicing and not on a hunt thank goodness. I came to full draw and CRAAAACKK! It snapped.... scared the crap out of me! I can say one thing. It is the smoothest shooting bow I've ever owned and I have taken the longest most accurate shots immaginable with it. Dead accurate to 80 yards no joke and I know there are naysayers out there whom believe that is too far, but it is quite an amazing bow. I am just hoping that it was a one time deal and now will be smooth sailing if you know what I'm sayin'.

sounds like your working with a great bowshop.
