Bladerunner bows look ok but they develop problems pretty quickly and you have to keep buying new strings for them every month or so because there is a flaw in the manufacturing where the two small 4 inch strings fray as the get wrapped around the gams which bladerunner tried to blame the users!
There is also no back up or service even though they say there is and if there is it will cost you for something bladerunner refuse to fix on a new bow!
Also, you have to buy the different draw length modules if you can get them which is another storry! And these are not cheap and be careful they don’t send you the wrong ones which is also a problem!
Again Bladerunner blames someone else if they get it wrong!
Best advice I can offer is to read about other people’s problems and buy something else unless you want an expensive wall hanging!

Crap warranty and crap service.
Bladerunner try to put the blame on the user of their product which is not right.
You may want to get your head out of your what ever and look around on the internet and see other people having the same problem.
You must be one of the lucky few who have have had any joy from them or are you one of them?

I Have been buying spareparts from Jorma Karjalainen in Finland. He works in company Rajajousi and used to import blade runner bows earlier. You can easily google the contact details. The shop is located in Kerava in southern Finland.

I shoot a mathews and I wouldn't switch to a bladerunner unless I was able to shoot them side by side to see if there are any advantages to owning a bladerunner, which I doubt. Looks like a nice bow but I just feel hunters should stick to what works best for them. Anyway, check out the squareup its pritty sweet feedback welcome. I want to buy one and would like some advice.

Purchased my Bladerunner ISO-Force in 2006. It has been an excellent bow. Shoots great and I have taken several deer with it. No problems other than having to replace the string bumpers a couple of times due to the soft material that was used warping. The manufacturer promptly sent me replacements both times at no charge. The current set of string bumpers is a slightly harder material and appears to be holding up fine. I finally replaced the main bow string last season after five seasons of use. Easy to
replace, no bow press needed, just as the manufacturer claims. I didn't have a need to adjust the draw weight, as I have an average length draw and the standard modules work fine, so I can't comment on that complaint. I have never had a hint of a problem with the customer service with this company. Every time I've called they have been responsive. In fact I called this
morning and ordered both sets of the shorter internal cables. They are starting to get frayed so I am going to replace them (again, this bow has had six seasons of use with frequent practice). I've bow hunted since the mid-'70s, started with a recurve way back then, and owned four or five bows bows since then (I'm not one to replace my bow every two seasons to have the
latest thing on the market...I get used to one setup and then stick with it until it needs replacing). I have 51 bow kills to my credit with a few of them being pretty decent bucks. I'll keep using my Bladerunner until I have a valid reason to get replace it. I'll guarantee you it's not an "expensive wall hanging". Being located in the state (Georgia) where Bladerunners are manufactured I also have several hunting aquaintences that own Bladerunners and love them. My opinion is that "Bobin Hoods" complaints have no merit.

I have enjoyed my bow for over 5 years now. No problems. Replaced string and short cables once - which is normal for any bow that gets shot regularly. Customer service was fine. The different modules came were included with my bow when it was purchased. I haven't needed them since I am a grown man.

Bobin? ... Who do you mean by "other people"?
I searched and everywhere I see the same person complaining in exactly the same words (!) as if it would be some propaganda.
Nowhere I could see any real details about what really happened i.e. how did the company exactly (word by word) responded.
I won't believe they wouldn't even say a word about the reason they believe it's the customers fault...
