Is this safe to shoot
« on: December 06, 2016, 12:58:00 PM »
I damaged the tip on my 67 Kodiak Hunter last summer and I'm wondering if it is safe to shoot?

It's past your string grooves.  I'm not an expert on glass bows but I don't think that will be a problem.

You're fine.  There's no stress on that area.

I did something similar on one of my bows.  Strung it up, but the string must not have been completely in the string groves.  I leaned it against the wall while I grabbed my shooting glove.  Then it just sprung!!!  Jumped off the floor, hit the ceiling and scared the crap out of me.  In the end, I only had damage similar to what you have.  The bow has held up well for several years after.
