Bow malfunction?

Recommended Posts

My buddy shipped a brand new bow back east to his brother. He pulled it back to test the weight and it locked up at full draw. It's under warranty and all I'm just curious if anyone has any ideas.

Yup, had that happen to me at an archery shop (that I will not mention) but I was getting my new bow adjusted to my arm length and it locked up at full draw!!! Just like Shrek said, draw stops set incorrectly!!!

+1 on draw stops either not put in correctly or forgot to put back in at all after an adjustment. Some have to be taken off to press the bow.

Thats probably what it is. Thanks.

Draw stops.

It's also freaking dangerous! Bow manufactures say if it happens throw bow forward away from body. I chose to walk into shop from range and climb on chair with bow drawn and put in press while they pressed it.. I have never been so tired form pulling back zero weight cuz I pulled it like freakin hulk believe you me! Should have seen the people scattering when no walked past them 😂 I do not go to that shop anymore they almost did it a second time to me.
