Today my bow exploded on me. I took it to the archery shop & they said it needs a new cam. Everything else is good. However bowtech does not made the parts for my model any longer.
It is a Diamond Iceman 09 Left handed model by bowtech. Does anyone know where I can purchase a new cam for this bow. Are there any online shops that sell bow parts for older model bow's. Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. I cannot afford a new bow & would like to get this one fixed if all possible. Thank you. edit: If there is a universal cam or something I could purchase to place on it that will function I am highly interested. Any help please. The bow is still great but the cam is shot. Nothing else wrong, except maybe the string but that seems like an easy fix. |
| I know some guys put different model cams on their bows. Maybe there is a new model cam that bow-tech still makes that will work. Archery talk may be a better place to ask. Also, I feel you I have blown up three bows and nothing sucks worse then being out your bow and a bunch of cash to fix it. |

Might find a dealer with the right part in the bin. |

What is the warranty like on your bow? I had a cam issue on my Martin bow a number of years after buying it. My bow blew up on me since the cam had a defect and cut the cable in the bow right where the cam ended. Martin didn't make that cam anymore and replaced the limbs as a precaution and put two new style cames on there. They also put new cables, and a new string on and transferred all my nocking points, peep sight, etc as a courtesy.
Sometimes bow manufacturers stand behind their product and fix it, even if they need to replace your entire bow. Have you already called them and asked what your options are? I would rather have the factory swap out the cams for you with ones they have tested then using generic ones that through off the harmonics and accuracy of your bow. |

Call Bowtech first and see what they say, they may have some parts or otherwise repair/replace the bow.
If not, find out who the Bowtech/Diamond dealer are in the area and call around. A discontinued LH cam isn't going to be the easiest thing to find but I know when I worked at an archery shop we had various cams and parts left around from older bows. Edit: what do you mean by "exploded"? |
