Friday I received my 54" recurve from Maddog Archery. I set the brace height at 6.5 inches, put some otter fur on the string, set the nock and headed outside.
I am making a hugh change from RH to LH, you see I am left eye dominant and have always shot right handed but trow balls left. When I made the change over to trad, I went RH and haven't seemed to master it.
So here I am with my new LH bow and today got time to go to the range. After about twenty shots, the string broke when I released. I wasn't hurt, bow is ok and I found the string in the trees.
Here is my question. Is it common for trad strings to break like that? I have two Maddog long bows, RH, and have never had a problem or is this just a odd event?
Might have to get rid of some RH bows, like the LH shooting.
