Please help.. Bow repair question. SAVED HER
« on: September 13, 2009, 05:54:00 PM »
Done a real smart one today. Dropped a stand on my bow from 15'.     :knothead:    
It looks worse in the pics but the glass is busted a little and the limb core boogered a little on the side about 1/8" deep from side to center the glass lam is seperated from the maple about 1" long by 1/8".
Can I fix this at home and how do I do it or do I need to send t oa bowyer. Season starts in a couple of weeks and this is the only bow I have to hunt with until late Nov.
Here are some pics.
Direst link to pics. I couldn't figure out how to resize

9/15...
Shot my bow today for about an hour or better and all is good. Thank God for small miracles, super glue and epoxy as well as all the wealth of knowledge and encouragement on this site.
thanks guys

Thanks alot Snake, that's a very generous offer and greatly appreciated.
I think I got it fixed snaded it down today and it looked good, shot it about 10 or 12 times and a sliver of the glass came up a little so I touched up the repair with a little super glue and clamped it back up. I'll give it a good while and sand it again and shoot and see what happens.
First trial shots the bow shot great but I did'n't want to push it just yet until I get all the nasty fixed.
