Has anyone ever had this happen?
I typically shoot left-handed but can go right (right-handed but left eye dominant). I recently got a good deal on a RH Hoyt Gamemaster II; 2 sets of Hoyt limbs, 30 & 45#, and lots of other stuff and pretty new/unused condition. The 45# camo limbs are all I've used so far and it's my 1st metal riser bow - so kind of a new style for me.
While unstringing I "cut" 2 bow strings, the 1st was iffy on being cut and I did release it on the lower limb (I was backwards in my left-right thinking) and the second was a new string and clearly cut - it wasn't loose enough yet to slide down the limb when relaxed. I checked out the limbs thinking there was a flaw or something and it turned out the edges were actually pretty sharp. I ended up getting some 300 - 600 grit sand paper and rounding out the limb edges. But it seems a bit odd that the limbs had edges sharp enough to cut a string. Has anyone else encountered anything like this?
