Airborne - Best of luck to you and your dad this season! Had a limb on my TenPoint crossbow delaminate while cocking it yesterday (dangerous!). I have had several problems with this crossbow since buying it after shoulder surgery, and I have not been happy with their service. It is currently at a dealer who is handling the repairs this time, but I bought a Ravin and it was cheaper, and is faster, better constructed, more accurate, easier to cock, and way lighter. Only downside is the white camo pattern which seems to be trendy these days. Live and learn on buying from a company that has apparently gotten too large to maintain quality control. I'll use the TenPoint in foul whether to spare the Ravin the harsh conditions.
