Call Black Widow, best to let the repair it if it's still under warranty.  They are TOPS!

I'm sure they guys at Black Widow will take care of you or tell you how to fix it. The customer service there is top shelf.

Put a good quality super glue under it and clamp it.

Black Widow will fix the bow and have it back to you very quickly and even if it is out of warranty, there will be very very little cost.

You are doing the right thing. The first chance at adhesives is the most important if messed up it is next to impossible to get a good bond.

Black Widow is a great company and the guys that operate it are all first class. I visit the shop in Nixa once a year, and it's always a pleasure to talk to them and they always are so friendly. I'm sure that they will make it better for you.

I have had them fix a couple of things -- one was a terrible mistake on my part that resulted in bad tip damage -- and they did what needed to be done and had the bow back to me in a matter of a few days.  Their service is impeccable.
Life is a whole lot easier when you just plow around the stump.

Smart decision, Steve.  If it can be fixed it will be done correctly.
