I bought a bow and the dowel broke after 4 shots of the arrow. The arrow slot also had to be cut larger because the string didn’t fit in it.That may be the last one I buy if your quality control has gone down. I have bought 6 of these for my grandchildren and they all love them and haven’t had any issues.(I have 12 grandchildren, so hopefully we can find something similar for them. Would you be willing to send a new sea life bow replacement?
