Honestly, I hope it is true so the other 99% of folks can feel better about their bow. The forums have been dumpster fires over this topic and the Lift is a great bow

 

If there actually doing a recall the problem is a lot bigger than 1%.

 

Mathews is a good company. If there is a mass problem and if a recall,is in Oder they will eat crow and do what’s right. I can only hope.

 

Throwing an extra gallon of gas on the dumpster fire with some unfounded speculation?

This has be almost as entertaining as when the BowTechs were popping limbs left n right about 20 years ago.

 

BlowTech, the good ol days.

 

would be great before the winter cold temps come ..drawing in freezing temps won't help matters

 

I’m a Mathew’s guy myself and a lift owner, who just put another warranty claim for his third set of limbs in. I doubt they will recall anything being a few months out from releasing there new bow. They should be looking elsewhere to have their limbs built though.

 

Just got mine replaced.
I have a question for you. When I got my bow back from shop the lettering on the limbs where all put in the same direction both top and bottom with LIFT written on the inboard of bow which is not how it comes from factory.

When I questioned them, they said that Mathews sent "8" (I'd say 4) new limbs and marked them with the specific position for each to go in, so thats what they did. This is how the lettering ended up.

I'm suspicious if I'm just getting told a line becuase I called them out on the details. I really don't want to be but my OCD is keeping me from believing them. I do think it's possible for Mathews to specify positions but not when it would make the lettering different than factory assembly.

I would really like to know if when you had your limbs replaced, the letters ended up the same as mine. Also, is it true that mathews would specify limb position?

I bought a lift back in February. It’s the only bow I’ve ever had where the more I shoot it the less I like it.

 

Why?

 

Had mine for a few months, zero issues and love the bow. Although I do shoot mine at a lower draw weight. Not worried at all, if something happens I have a great Mathews shop in the area that will take care of me.

 

Love Mathews but this limb issue has seriously made me look at other brands. Darton or Xpedition may be my next venture now that Athens folded. Maybe another Hoyt but we will see what the RX-? Looks like for 2025. I do hope Mathews figures it out. The lift is a great bow, i just can’t pull the trigger on a possible lemon. Some are on their 3rd or 4th set… For their loyal customers sake I hope they do recall those limbs. They need to do some serious damage control. The Mathews brotherhood FB group is riddled with limb posts. Thats all you really see on that page now.

 

Not that they've told us dealers.

 

This is what a shop/dealer guy told me yesterday morning is why I ask

 

Where did you hear this?

 

Totally agree and thought the same about this being an indicator. Seems they are are just sending out limbs to achieve a specified deflection and disregarding the appearance. The only reason I think they would do this is a shortage of limbs that meet both the deflection requirements and correct logo placement.
I will reach out to Mathews and let the forum know what they say.
Hopefully, I can convince the shop to get a new set that looks right.
Cone to think of it, I had limb issues with a BT BTX-31 and when they sent out replacment limbs, they didn't even have the bow's model name on them like the original ones did. They just said Bowtech and those letters all faced the same way. Maybe this is what we all can expect for warrantee replacment limbs.
Still curious what MbatsonZ7's limbs look like.

 

Did you ever get an answer on this?

 

I had an Obsession back in 2016 about long enough to enjoy a cup of coffee. I bought one set of strings from Catfish Customs that bow ruined and Obsession sent me two sets as they were being ruined. One set of limbs I received on opening day of the season so I didn't get to hunt the morning. Also three sets of cams.

The stock cams had "Fuel the Obsession" in white etched into the cam. By the time we got to the third set they were just plain black with no labeling.
