The arrow /arrow rest situation wouldn't normally derail the bow, something else must have been going on. Lots of possibilities for failure. Limb going bad finally let go, to much grip torque, worn out nocks from lots of shooting, that tiny leaf getting between the string and cam, bad tune/to much cam lean.. Sometimes its a perfect storm of all of them, either way Hoyt would probably get you right if you go thru their dealer. Your rest not dropping is definitely a issue though, just doubt it caused the failure. Id put money on the nock being cracked or worn out from shooting, then id suspect the arrow. Hoyt's are pretty tough, so hopefully you just need strings and cables. Best part is, your not injured.
I hey man was it a hoyt rest ? Because it seems like it would be the rest malfunctioning or. The. Bowtech but I bet you Hoyt fixes it anyways but honestly man I think your approach is kind of off “I want what I want” and. The. The threat of switching it’s not their fault man you get more with sugar than vinegar bro good luck hope it works for ya !
It wasn’t a threat, I called the Hoyt manufacturer and got a bad response, then the manager called me back after I made this video. He personally called my bow shop and had the bow sent to the factory to get worked on. I wasn’t clear, but there customer service wasn’t the best up till the manager took control.

I'd say it was your nock, causing the event ie "dry firing" as you can see the nock fly past the bow as it all comes apart!! the rest explanation sounds "sorry to say it" dumb as old biscuits!! your rest fails, ok.... so your rest is lightly locked upright & your arrow will pass through, possibly damaging the fletching's & fly off target.... nothing else OR the rest drops down as its not under tension due to teh string being detached from your limbs "you didn't notice???" either way the rest/string failure sounds like an installer or user error when installing & teh bow blowing up again sounds like user error above anything else again so Hoyt wouldn't cover such as a warranty job, its user error that's caused the accident. as I find it very interesting your covering the nock point up with your hand as your holding the broken arrow. the comment regarding the bow expanding & hitting the branches, well 1st you shouldn't have anything near the strings ie it should be clear... anyway, chances are the only thing that's hit the branches above or near by would be the remaining parts of the nock as it disintegrated, the arrow clearly hit your scope side ways hence it splitting in half..... as again, a fault with your rest wouldn't result in a dry fire.. your arrow will still go-off just not where you aimed regarding the I've saved & built the bow "accessorised it" well it sounds like you've bought out of your real budget, because you wanted what everyone else is using or has said is very good etc anyway the vast majority of all these accessories you can reuse... on a new bow, but buy a bow in your real budget range. anyway, you really need to get into the habit of checking your nocks after each & every collection from a target & on your 1st shot of the day. I go to the range with 12 arrows I'll shoot any of those arrows.. as for loosing arrows "I've yet to loose a single one!" I've gone to the range & had 24 arrows in my quiver, its irrelevant, you go ready for events, you taking x4 arrows, well your not prepared for anything.... "in every day terms, that's poor planning"
anyway, your remaining last comments you even sound inexperienced... if you don't know how to work on your bow, you cant blame shops for poor workmanship, as don't forget nothing stopped you from going back in & pointing out something missed or poor standards etc, this literally is inexperience & negligence, regarding to you being skinny "build has nothing to do with what bow or poundage you can pull" 80lbs is just OTT & nothing but pointless
Dude you really don’t need to explain yourself to guys who are leaving stupid comments. Stuff happens no matter what equipment you have ! Also just save your cash I’m sure it’s repairable
Had a string do this after I put a d loop on after removing two brass nocking points. The brass nocks/ release had weakened the string and it failed epically two weeks before season.
Hey bro I work in the archery industry and if you need any advice on any thing I’d be happy to try and help, just let me know and maybe we can get this figured out
sounds like a nock broke which is a dry fire really just cause the rest failed that would not cause a derail nor make the arrow go into the rest like that not at 80 pounds that arrow is gonna go through the rest forks and veer off from there imo.. ive seen many bows dry fired of all brands and be fine but they where low poundage.
Your lucky I had that happen once arrow broke towards the back of the arrow and the back of the arrow went through my hand and stuck into the bow grip my bow didn’t blow up like yours but still really sucked ofc the nearest ER was an hour away to
Bow itself should be fine i had it happen to me , maybe the limbs and cams need replacing but in the meantime if you need a good 70lb bow check out bear archery that's what i have as my secondary bow just in case my mathews fails
Couple things wraps are really nice for fletching because instead of trying to pull every vane off and then reclean the shaft a good wrap lets you take it off as one piece. Also you should never be using sandpaper to rough up your arrows. Even that little bit of sanding damages the carbon in your arrows.
I love the content man keep up the good work, I build a lot of my own arrows as-well and used to hate arrow wraps but I use a white wrap when hunting just incase I don’t get a full pass through when the deer runs it’s a more likely chance I find my arrow
Dawson, Good to meet you. I saw your video explaining why your bow exploded. Like you, I've got a new channel. I've been putting content out the last week regarding bow tuning and arrow building. I've been doing my own bow work for a quote a few years. If you want some help learning, I am happy to help. My belief is that you can't be truly efficient with your equipment, unless you can work on your equipment. Reach out of I can be of assistance to you. Good luck, and happy hunting
Another thought... You still need an arrow spinner if you're going to build arrows. Making sure your inserts are true to the carbon can be verified by spinning. Also, if you get an 8-32 thread pitch bolt, and a stack of heavy washers, you can install the bolt into the insert with the washers on it, and sling the insert end around, using the washers like a slide hammer to get inserts out of carbon. Doing this instead of a drill bit in the carbon saves your carbon, and the insert. Just a couple tricks I picked up over the years.
Hey I have no service were we live now. It’s hard to reach out. You can reach out at rerackhnt was the old name for this channel. Have to change it soon. Don’t be mad if I don’t respond like I said I have 0 service
@@ElevateHNT I'll have my wife reach out to you. I'm assuming that is your Instagram handle??? I'll have her send you my email. Once you reach out via email, I'm happy to give you my phone number. Just don't write it on any bathroom walls. Haha. I obviously don't want to write it here.
Easier way to remove inserts is to heat up a field tip and screwed it into the insert wait a couple of seconds until it gets hot and the glue starts to melt and then just pull out the insert with ease.
If the glue gets old the vanes wont stick like new glue. One way i know to make your glue last is to store it in your refrigerator. I got tired of buying max bond every time I built arrows, and haven't needed to since storing in the fridge. Wraps are also practical for vane removal to refletch, visibility in flight, surface for blood to show, easier to find after pass through and consistent vane adhesion.
I've found that for me, and where I live (Hot and humid coast) my vanes will fall off if the glue is not new. I can't really explain it, but if I fletch a batch with new glue, and another with used or old glue, those will fall off. I mean, might be a different thing, but that's my thought process so far haha. Great content.
I'm in the same boat. I'm a blue collar dude, and the only income in my household, so the budget is tight. i started hunting 3 years ago with a used bowtech assassin. i had success with the bowtech, but i sacrificed, worked OT and saved so i could get a nicer bow. I'd be heartbroken if this happened to my new bow. sucks that this happened and i hope you can get it fixed/ replaced. don't let the trolls and haters get to you.
@@ElevateHNT Man just watched and that is crazy, am the very picky to with who works on my bow have had proshops do stuff that I later researched going down our favorite archery rabbit hole was done incorrectly. Now I do most of my own work, I used to shoot Mathews and wanting to do go on my own working on bows I have switched to Bowtech and shoot the Core SR... If you do end up switching would highly recommend shooting one since they are so friendly to work on and are very forgiving platforms. Loved your story behind it. Earned my sub and am looking forward to your content
My son had a similar failure a week ago. The arrow blew up when coming off the bow, and caused the cables to jump off the cams. We're still not sure what caused the arrow to break (it broke clean, a quarter inch in front of the fletchings), but it couldn't be the rest failing to drop, as it was a whisker biscuit. Our theory was that maybe he didn't nock the arrow well, but that's just a guess. Luckily nobody was hurt, and the bow wasn't damaged.
