Bow delaminating due to owners(me) negligence!!!!!
« on: March 27, 2011, 08:14:00 PM »
This was totally MY fault.....
I did a bonehead move and left my beloved longbow strung in the van all day(in 85 degree Miami)prior to going on a turkey hunt.
When I saw it I was in shock! The bow didn't blow-up but the tiller on the top limb was about 3 inches, bottom limb about 8!
Upon closer inspection, the bottom limb
de-laminated. It lookes like the veneer(back) seperated from the core, and the first core lamination cracked. The belly core and veneer are intact(at least visibly).
I left a message with the bowyer(who is top notch)and he left me a message that it is probably shot.
Is there any hope?

JDunlap,
I'd truly take the crashed car over this any day(if you saw my van's exterior you'd know what I mean,lol).Lots of sentimental value in this one.

As my younger daughter often used to tell me, "We all make mistakes."  When she said it, it softened the pain!

I've had some offers for loaner bows, I really appreciate it but I have a Kohannah Kurve to use.
I am looking for another longbow, though.
Thanks everyone.

PS the bow I wrecked is the one I'm holding on the cover of Bill Langer's new DVD,ouch!
By the way, it's his best DVD yet!

Isn't Whip a bow doc?  I think it can be fixed.
