    The limbs are replaceable, but only done under warranty for the original owner. As for cost, you will have to check with a dealer.

    I believe with any Mfg. the life time warranty only applies to the original owner. I could be wrng tho.

    If he is the original purchaser and bought from a Mathews dealer so it was registered by the dealer.(Not E-Bay) The complete bow is covered except the strings and cables[:D]

    String/Cable are also covered..[;)]
    Like said IF he's the original owner Mathews will take care of him.
    If not new limbs run anywhere from $150.00/$180.00 for the set.

    I beg to differ here, Mathews will cover the entire bow to the original owner,except Strings, Cables & String Suppressor Fingers.Only on rare occasions will they cover strings and cables. And this is 98% of the time the dealers call. Now if there is a defect in the string or cables, then I would say yes they will cover them. But not due to wear or use. On a bow a couple or three years old I have not seen them cover these due to wear.And if the dealer does he will most likely eat the cost.I have been working on Mathews,Hoyt,Bowtech,PSE,Martin & XI's and others for years. Even the old Carols cable and Robin Hood bows, back when cables where steel and I have yet to see a manufacturer warranty the strings and cables. I wish they would, I could make a living just changing them.

    Surekill, If you have a way of getting these covered please let me know how your doing it. Because to this date I have not found a way.

    J.D. your dealer is eatin the cost then if he's replacing strings. When we got the invite last year to Matts bash he had, one of the question I ask was what all was covered. Strings, cables, and suppressors are considered non-covered. If cams are not original, like someone changed cam for draw length, then that is up to the dealer whether they warranty it or not.

    As far as limbs go, like the rest said only if you are the original owner snd have proof.

    All I know there was a post over on Mathews Forum about this and they said they were covered...I can't find it now go figure.
    But I have read where They had replace them before.Maybe the dealer did eat the cost.Try contacting Ron Boin or Steve Flock at Mathews.

    Clay did you get ahold of Shooterspal?
    David is a alright guy.
