Fra,
The # for golden eagle is (716) 924-1880. its in farmington NY
How old is the bow?
My limb seperated a couple years ago about this same time of year,
they were holding an inventory at the time, they were shut down but
the girl that I talked to got me the replacement limbs and ups red them
to me I had them in 2 days from my initial call.
If you have any problems give me a shout and I will see what I can
do since this place is only 5 miles from dec.

Geez, Fra, are you alright???!!! here's hoping you're just a
bit shaken, and not broken. I gotta tell you, you have the WORST luck.
Was it last year you had the broken wrist/thumb/arm (whatever, can't
really remember, just that you were "out" with the compound), and now
this.. Man you deserve a big ol buck...

| 1201.4 | you said it Rob!! | KNGBUD::LAFOSSE | | Wed Sep 30 1992 14:07 | 28 |
| Just got back from The archery store... Looks like all it really needs
is some new cables, and of course the incidentals like a string
(shreaded), and peep/pins... cables are gonna run $15 not sure if that
includes labor... looking at $50 anyway
Was a big relief when I got there, The salesman (brian) told me not to
worry about it, He was heading to VT also, think he took heart. Just
hopeing the guy who's actually going to fix it is just as
understanding. If all else fails, tomorrow i'll just buy a new bow!!!
"but honey, what else could I do" ;^) my wife, she knows all my tricks!
Didn't really shake me up too much, luckily the limbs didn't snap. Got
slapped by the string and the tear drop hit me in the wrist and cut it.
But other than that I came out in good shape. What really shook me up
is that I couldn't find the arrow right away, and I was tuning my
broadheads that I just ordered (Wasp XLL 115's), 20 minutes later I
found it stuck in the wood pile, next to the dog...
ad it shooting excellent too, what a bummer... now I have to retune it
and resight it with the new peep... Pain in the a$$... Incredible
timing...
Thanks for the good words and the offer guys... called Golden Eagle and
they said if the limbs are toast, they'll cover them... I'll know
better tomorrow.

| 1201.5 | use another bow until repairs are done | UNYEM::GEIBELL | DIAMOND J CHARTERS | Wed Sep 30 1992 14:13 | 18 |

Fra,
One thing I wanted to mention in my last reply was to ask if you had
another bow to practice with? the reason being is because when
something like this happens most people will get shy of drawing the
bow, I am still nervous every time I hear a little squeak when I draw
the bow back, I have used a whole can of distilled 3 in 1 oil since
the bow limb broke.
The very first thing I did after I quit shakeing was went in the
house and got my backup bow out, went outside and started shooting,
but for the first week of shooting the eagle was nerve wrecking as heck
so if you can get your hands on another bow to shoot do it.
