Title: mourning the loss of an old friend
Post by: KHALVERSON on July 22, 2012, 08:29:00 PM

i walked past my bow rack a little while ago and saw this
i shoot this bow every couple of weeks and left it strung like i have done many times before
its been very hot here but the bow is hung horizontal in a place that never gets over 80-85 degrees
it looks like the glue joint finally gave up
im gonna miss this old bow
just glad it didnt fold at full draw

The ol Sturtevant finally gave up? Did you unstring your Zipper, Predator, Hoots, Bear, and the rest of your bows? How about a shooting match tomorrow and you bring that bow so I have a chance? R.I.P.  :(

I saw this thread and....Sorry about the bow but I'm glad this is just about a bow.

I agree with Riverrat 2. I think it could possibly be fixed. I'd at least try.
