Probably had about 500 arrows it. Noticed today that the top limb at the limp turret had a splinter. Pretty disappointed for a $800 plus bow to last only a month. Will try to get the limp replaced from Mathews and I hope the problem is isolated. Bought the DXT a month ago. Probably had about 500 arrows it.

I love it. Have had no problems with it. I shoot at least fifty arrows out of it every day. It is almost silent, it is the quietest bow i have ever heard, and vibration free. I have not heard of any cracked limbs and know many tournament archers and pro shop owners who would not hesitate to speak up had they heard about them. The drenalin is a great bow.

I have bought a Mathews Drenalin bow last year September. 5 weeks ago one of it's limbs broke while it was fully drawn. It sounded like a gun shot. After they replaced the limbs under warranty one of the limbs broke off again under full stress. I exchanged my broken bow for a new DXT, becaused I have herd from the dealers that Mathews have apparently solved the problem. But I doubt it strongly, because the DXT I own now makes the same crackling noises as my Drenalin which broke twice at the limb turret when I start to load enrgy into it. I am a Mechanical Engineer and would like to have discussions with the responsible designers of all the Drenalin bow series. But Mathews locked this subject. If anyone can comment on this, I will appreciate it greatly Regards Adriaan Good day.

I shoot 5 grains/lb. I never knew a bow could shoot so smooth after the shot. I am able to keep my red dot on the target after the release. I shot leagues and won second place in outdoor 3D. Anyone having negitive results is not properly set up. Crank limbs down to max, get proper spline (stiff side is better) and keep your accessories simply. I use an expensive scope, Rip Cord rest with some old stabilizer I had. Bow is quiet with very little vibration. My experience with the Drenalin has exceeded my expectations.

I think every brand has had it's round of cracked bows. It sucks and the company should cover the bow no matter who owns it. They should cover it to just protect the name. Have you written them a letter? Sorry to hear this. I think every brand has had it’s round of cracked bows. It sucks and the company should cover the bow no matter who owns it.
