Bowmaster Split Limb Adapters known issues

PAST-PARALLEL at rest

The new Bowmaster split limb adapters WILL NOT work on most bows that are beyond parallel or past-parallel AT REST.  Some manufactures describe their bows as past-parallel (e.g. Hoyt Maxxis) but they are only past-parallel when drawn.  The new adapters WILL work on bows with limbs up to parallel at rest.  The exception to the past-parallel rule is the Mathews Monster.    The blocks on the tops of the limb tips of the Monster hold the adapters in place and keep them from sliding toward the ends of the limbs.  While many of the PSE X-Force bows are past-parallel at rest, not all of them are.  For example, the X-Force SS models that we have seen are not past-parallel at rest, while every X-Force GX we have seen is past-parallel at rest.

Because of the past-parallel issue, the new adapters WILL NOT work on most of the PSE X-Force models and the Bear Attack and Assault model bows.

AXEL MOUNTED ON TOP OF THE LIMB (Destroyer models by BowTech)

BowTech is using a pillow block bearing on the tops of the limb tips of their new Destroyer model bows.  The new Bowmaster split limb adapters WILL NOT clear the axel and should not be used on these bows.

BOWS WITH FLARED LIMB TIPS (Some Bear model bows)

Some of Bear Archery’s bows have flared limb tips.  The new Bowmaster split limb adapters WILL NOT work on bows with flared limb tips.

YES, THEY DO WORK ON

The new split limb adapters do work on solid limbs, center pivot limbs, parallel limbs, narrow limbs and wide limbs.
