PSE Stinger Malfunction

[hunter312]

Just bought a new bow last week at bass pro and shot it the other day and the string come off the came when i released
Any idea what might have happened or what i should do?

[double gun]

Was there an arrow on the string? How heavy was the arrow - what poundage was the bow set at? Was there anything interferring with the cams?

[hunter312]

Their was an arrow and cut at the right length the bow was at 50 lbs and their was nothing in the way of the cam

[double gun]

That is wierd....

Could be that your poundage is set too low?
My dad and I have PSE Brute's.
His is 50-60lbs and had it set for 50lbs until his skill and strength improved. However, after 3 string de-railments during clean shooting, the assumption was made that that the poundage weight was set too low for it's design (even though it's designed for 50lbs).
After increasing to 57 lbs. he had no more problems.
We were told to always shoot a bow at the higher end of it's weight capabilities (with no explanation why and we didn't ask...which was dumb) and now we know why.
Mine is 60-70lbs (and I shoot at 70lbs.) and haven't had a problem yet.

Could that be it??

take it back. I'm sure bps will fix it or replace it.

hi i am a sells rep for pse in canada it,s possible the ideler wheel is leaning with that and the bow being backed off a bit this could happen.it,s an easy fix any pro shop can do try calgary archery centre or jimbows in calgary if thats not handy for you send me a pm and we will get you fixed up closer to home. go shooting with a great bow.

[hunter312]

thanks i will try and take it to the calgary archery center

[hunter312]

So tried to take my bow back to bass pro and see what they could do They wouldnt even touch it they accused me of dry firing it and they told me to ship it to a pse factory Bass pro wont be getting another cent of mine again

Buy a matthews.

[pottymouth]

go to jimbows, talk to jimmy, he'll fix it for you, he's fixed 3 already from bass pro, and its wierd cause the archery staff at bass pro are also pro staff at the calgary archery centre, they should be able to tell what a dry fired bow looks like, and what one who's string comes off looks like.

i love it when people go to those big hunting store and think the workers know what they are doing haha... they don't know nothing ... i would take pottymouths advise and take it to jimbows

Looks like another PSE lives up to the Pull Shoot Explode motto.
