Is my bow splintering?

[Gtownhunter]

Sitting in a tree now and just noticed this splinter ish looking mark on my Ten Point xbow? Is the limb fracturing?

Id have it looked at. Its not worth having that thing wrap around your head.

[Bone Collector]

Ima say handling scratch, till I see better pics.

I would err on the side of caution because that looks like cracks to me.

yep, better safe than blown up while sitting in a tree.

[Gtownhunter]

Just got home... Yep it's splintering. Pretty sure Ten Point will have me covered under warranty.

[LMiz]

ouch

[jetlag887]

I wouldn't shoot it again.

[Smokey911]

Don't shoot it again. Send it in to ten point. Lifetime Warranty on that.

Thanks guys...the return was just filled out. This little splinter may keep me out of trouble with my wife. I have been hunting A LOT lately! It's very minor looking but I expect it has the potential to get nasty. Soooo would any of you guys shoot it again? I think I know the answer but man it looks so minor. Looks more like the camo dip is detaching than bow, BUT who knows. Leary of it and think I will just hang it up until its fixed.

from experience in working with graphite day in and day out. there is no reason why it should be splintering in the middle of the limb. the graphite plies that make up the limb should run the full lenght of the limb. unless some of those plies drop off in that area. but again the outter plies should run the full lenght of the limb. but im not there to tell you its ok so im not
