This was my first real bow. 58" 35lb @28"
I have owned it for 30 years and as a young teenager it was my constant companion, I must have shot it for around 3 hours a day for several years. I have used it to introduce people into bows and hunting. It has been lent to people, shot by beginners, stored badly, and generally used and abused for most of its life.
Last week I got it out for a friend to shoot who had not used a bow since childhood, she had a great time, but to me the bow didn't seem to be punching out the arrows like it should. I left it strung overnight and in the morning this is what I found.
It is sad but at least it had a long and useful life.
I will miss it, no other bow felt quite as natural in my hand as this one.
Not sure what to do with it now as it would be wrong to throw it out, I may incorporate it into a bow rack so it stays with me.
