I think Im gonna be sick......
« on: July 28, 2012, 04:26:00 PM »
This has been a bad day. I ordered a new bamboo backed hickory reflex/deflex a while back and got it in the mail today. Man she is a beauty......or was a beauty I should say. I strung it and took it down to the range to shoot this afternoon. On the first draw I heard a crack and instantly let the bow back down without firing it. A crack in the bamboo and wrinkling on the hickory on the back side!!   :eek:  Man I am sick. Didnt even get off a shot. Can this be repaired or do I need to send it back? OOOOh boy....

Man, I know just how you feel. I bought a bamboo backed Ipe bow that i was beginning to fall in love with. I took it to the Oklahoma State longbow Championship a couple weeks ago and it came to pieces on the practice range. I was devastated.

Send it back and get another.

Good luck with it.
