I never thought it would be THIS HARD

[solobowhunter]

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone!  It looks like it's time to get to work.  One thing I've learned in this life is big set backs usually lead to big rewards.  I sure am gonna miss that bow though....might just hang it on the wall as a decoration since it hasn't broken completely apart yet.

I would like to say how sorry I am about the loss...it stinks.  I would also like to say thanks for "manning up" to the fact that stuff happens.  Find a new bow and life goes on... I have noticed way way too many guys recently that look to want a quick fix and refund over stuff like this...it's nobody's fault.  You will quickly adjust to a new bow and be happy with it in time.  Thank you.

Check to see if the bowyer has any in stock bows. explain your situation, you might be back up with familiar equipment sooner than you think.

Bummer about the bow, best of luck.

I agree with Charlie, I have had several bowyers help with bows that I was not the original owner and they still helped me out. I actually had two bowyers replace bows for me and one was 5 years old and I was the 3rd. owner.  Shawn

Sell the wheels, you will never regret it or say "man I wish I had that back".

Hey Marine.  If The other fellas don't have  bow that suits, let me know.  I've probably got one that will fit the bill.

After shooting a compound for many years, I somehow got out of it for about 10 years or so. Last year I decided to get back into it, but I wanted to do it differently, so I went traditional. I will never go back. There's just something about it. I even use wood arrows now. Anyway, my first longbow was a PSE Sequoia I believe and 2 days before the season opened it broke in my hand. No big pop or smack in the face, it just folded one day when I drew it back. I just stood there like I had seen an alien. I couldn't believe it. I had bought it from Bas Pro and by that time decided that I wanted to upgrade to something like a HH (mainly cause I love his book..not cause I'm experience enough to actually deem myself worthy), but I didn't have the funds. For anything at that time actually. Lucky for me, the guy at Bas Pro was sympathetic and gave me a gift card for the amount and I bought a Bear Montana. Now I usually like to support personally made products, not big corporations (all my surfboards were made by shapers here in FL), but I love the Bear and still use it today. That's my recommendation. Plus I was able to hunt last season because of the convenience.

Yep, just a little bad luck.  No fault of the bowyer or the previous owner.  Thanks again for all the offers everyone!  I contacted the bowyer and he asked me to mail it to him and after he takes a look at it, I'll see what his recommendation is.
