Any idea if this can be repaired?

This is an omega longbow that bit the bucket some years ago. Clean  Delams right bear the handle

Doubtful.  It looks like the joint was glue starved, so you MAY be able to peel off the rest of the glass and glue on a new piece, but, it would be tricky.

I've never attempted a repair like that.  Hopefully others will chime in.

Good luck!

I’m guessing that you are probably right. I’ll probably just super glue it all down and put it on the wall.

I think I would try removing and putting new glass on before I made a wall hanger out of it. Maybe some light heat to see if the glass will work free. Heck, it’s already broke. Why not try.
But then again, I’m cheap and like a challenge.

I have removed glass by using a heat gun, starting near nock tips and just heating enough to slide box cutter blade under the glass and slowly working down the limb. Comes off fairly easily as long as heat is close to optimum, hot enough to remove glass but not so hot that it affects epoxy in lams.
