Can this be fixed....

[portugeejn]

or is it a wallhanger?  This is a Bear Cub I purchased not to long ago from that auction site that shall not be named.  (I am done with buying bows from people who know nothing about them, but that is another story.)  

I noticed these issues (crack and possible delamination???  The crack doesn't go through to the other side.),  Looking for some opinions-try to fix it or use it for decoration?  I have shot the bow a bit and enjoy shooting it.  It doesn't make any funny noises or anything like that, and shoots pretty well.  I was thinking perhaps some Loctite 420?  Thanks.

I don't think I would shoot that one with out eye protection and a helmet.

That will look really nice on the wall next to the trophy you shoot with the bow you buy to replace it!!

(Unless you keep shooting it, in which case, the scar will heal with time.)

When you string it and pull it back for the first (last?) time, think of the words of the guy who fell off the cliff - "so far, so good!"

that crack is like a nail in your tire, it might not be an issue today but it will be soon... good luck.

Hang that one up BEFORE it hurts someone!

I'm with the rest,it will go,just don't know when the last shot will occur! Wallhanger IMHO

Been here on the lonesome side  of  discussions  before. If that crack is in the wood under the back of  the bow, I'd shoot it without any reservation. If it's on the belly side, I'd do locktite or  superglue  and  shoot away.

The glass does probably 95% of the work in a lam bow and as long as it stays glued, it's good  to go.

Thanks for showing that, i have always been tempted to buy an old recurve off yabe, now I won't.

Thanks all for your advice.  I think I might try some loctite 420 just for practice, then not shoot it much.
