I have experience with the Killer Instinct Burner 415 model. That experience is horror... my luck was that it broke before the statutory return time to the seller expired. It didn't explode, I think it should have "exploded" ... Complete garbage that I will never buy again. Good bye cheap models from KI ,..maybe sometime X1/ XP OF respecting the memory it is a in innovation and good compound crossbow.,.

No problems here with swat408, xp or x1.

That sucks it happened to you but KI will take care if you.

With some of the guys here, lighten up on the OP. Hard read, whatever.

When I started posting here i was accused of being "John carlson" or "john connolly." I couldn't believe some of the twits accusing me of being someone else . Sometimes, this place can be a tough crowd with a select set of individuals.

The majority is friendly and helpful.

Actually it’s Joe C. Our own Burky was once accused of being Joe so you’re in good company.

I too had two sets of KI 415 limbs crack. Loud pop while fine tuning broadheads one day. Warrantied front end and replaced. Second time sitting in the stand just at the end of shooting light, loud pop, looked for cause. Found another split KI limb. Nothing but the pressure of a cocked xbow. They didn’t really want to send another new front end. They did and xbow is gone. Warranty at KI is tops for me. Not a 415 fan anymore.

I bet that Joe Conover is still on the forum under one name or another. I know he is still on Crossbow Talk on the AT site.

Waiting on a reply from killer instinct on the warranty , also it was not a dry fire it was hanging on a rack in the stand in front of us . No one touched it moved or did anything it was about 34 degrees out and it just exploded . I never even scratched , dropped , bumped or damaged it it was most definitely a faulty bow !

I have the same bow the same exact thing happened to us. I think this is very common i feel a recall should be done. Got it for Christmas last year slighted it in shot to sight it in first hunt with it very disappointed no recipt since it was a gift their policy if not registered not covered under warranty

Were would go to buy replacement limbs for a ripper 415 if say someone finds a one laying on the ground obviously the warranty would hold up in that case

Unsure I've looked at several models as I currently have the lethal 405 and there is no limbs for that either I emailed KI waiting on a response but with it being Christmas not going to get one till next week probably

I just wondered because at least in the past, KI has sold limbs for ther bows. Only reason I can think they wouldn't, might be they changed ther policy or don't sell that bow any more or maybe temporarily out of those parts?

It sounds like he was looking on their website for limbs. He should have better luck thru email when they get back to him.

Maybe I'll keep checking periodically throughout the year hate to see a bow go to waste especially with my son now newly picking up the rich man sport lol

I've been waiting for them to email me back for about 2 weeks. Bad time of the year

Darn well it's a good thing I have till next season

Lots of crossbows manufactured overseas are having limb failures in regards
to splintering or breaking. Some crossbows limbs are manufactured by the
same company but sold under different names, depending what company
wishes to purchase them.
They are either using poor quality material, a poor mixture or not curing the
limbs properly.
Many parts of these crossbows are interchangeable.

If the importer is fortunate to have replacement parts, one can obtain them, but
until the manufacture makes the necessary improvements, one is going to receive
the same faulty replacements.

Being some of these imported crossbows are so cheap to purchase here, the
importer is not stocking parts.

Thank fully no one got injured.
Take care.

BR, thanks for your explanation of poor quality on manufacturing.

In crossbow limb quality I believe what may be lacking is the stress test on the limbs before they are assembled.

In my manufacturing world to avoid customer defects an engineer develops stress test to confirm the product is reliable. This would include applying a defined load to the limbs for a specific time to establish the capabilities.

Overseas process control may be uncontrolled for various reasons.

I write this because because of my extensive experience in manufacturing.

Sorry to hear but if you have a favorite baseball team or football team and they have a bad year you give up on them or do you root for them next year too well I upgraded from the killer Instinct lethal weapon to the burner 415 and I've had no problems with it including with the new silent dead crank which is way better and I go out three to four times a week I've had no limb problems with the burner 415 I'm glad I didn't give up on my team and customer service is the greatest always have taken care of any issues beyond warranty thank you Dawn
