I might do that Pon. I've been wondering what to do with the pieces. Or... Maybe a big bon type fire, have a bit of a cremation. Looking at it everyday might be tough knowing I can't shoot it any more.

Man that is definetly a bummer. Saw it happen one time and I don't know how the guy didn't get his eyes ripped out. Glad you are ok. Mourn for awhile, but there are more bows out there.

I know how you feel. My longbows limb snapped at full draw last summer. that bow was a real shooter. builder ended up building me another though 2" shorter and 5# heavier.
I never want to experience that again though.

I am a 1967 Left Handed model, also, and my limbs are getting a little brittle, too!
Had a shoulder dislocation over spring break this year playing street hockey with the boys.
Too bad that rest, ibuprophen and rehab doesn't work on bows.
Good luck finding its replacement.
-------------------- I started shooting a longbow because I thought it would simplify things and it did... now I simply need to get a whole lot closer to hit anything.
