A lovely lady who wants to learn to shoot brought her old recurve to me to check out yesterday. It is a Shakespeare Nedecah, brown glass late 60s vintage, 58", 44#. I put my stringer on it and pulled it gently almost to the stringing point, and the upper limb came apart with a crash, split from the tip down through the recurve portion, maybe a foot. Is it now a tomato stake, or is it repairable without special equipment? The wood lamination is what failed, and it looks good when squeezed back together. She was so disappointed. Me too.
Thanks for any input.
