help for a newbie

[jfreeman]

I have a long bow and noticed the other day that the end tips were splitting, I have included the link to some pics. I am just getting into this sport.  Dose anyone have any advice.....I live in Dawsonville GA. Is there anyone local who could repair this.  I was told by a friend of mine that shooting a fast flight string with wooden tips caused this.  He could repair this but he just had shoulder surgery.  I would like to have this repaired before deer season is over.  I have spent alot of time shooting and I am confindent I could get a deer this season.  My plan was to become confindent with a longbow then learn to build and work on them.  I am very handy but not ready to take on bow building or repairs without instructions or direction.

You might also post this over on the bow building forum.  Lots of experience over there.

Some guys have great results with some of the better superglues.  Looking at the pics, if the damage wasn't too far into the glass, I'd just remove the busted overlay and put on a new one to match.
