Tired of replacing wood bows!

[botech]

This past fall I buried my 4th bow in three years.
Rather than wondering why and finding few good answers, I have decided (if possible) to just look for a non-wood model.
I am at a loss as to where to look though.
Any suggestions?.

I would add Hoyt Excel to the above mentioned.

What is your preferred overall bow length?

What is your draw length?

Can you tell me exacly what you mean by 'buried'?

Are you breaking bows?...if so, are these bows you have made or someone elses?

[FerretWYO]

I have wood bows that have shot many many many arrrows. How is it that you are wearing them out?

Quinn Stallion is a great inexpensive bow. My daughter and I both have one. The classic is pretty too.

[Mudd]

Remind me not to offer you a loaner...lol

I'm curious as to the kind of wood bows that are breaking on you?

I'm not asking the bowyers names but the kind of wood that makes up the bow.

Are they self bows? laminated? any glass in the bows?

"Inquiring minds want to know!"....lol

Thanks in advance!
God bless,Mudd

Me thinks, that we are not getting the full story

I agree Walt more info is needed, are these selfbows or what ?

[Roy Steele]

I agree with ferret.I've built bows for 20 years and have many and sold and built for fiends bows that are shot 10;s of thousands of times and are some have been in use hunting for years.
 I personaly am shooting a 60"s 56 #'s @26"s that I build 2 for a guy and his wife and he only took his.Her bow was hideing in my bow shop for 12 years in 06 I had 2 strokes and had to go down from 61#'s.I dug it out And I'VE SHOT AND HUNTED WITH IT SENCE 07.
   Not wanting to step on anyones toe's but it sounds like your bows wer'nt built and tillered to well.

26" inch.
I am looking for a bow with no wood in it at all.
Not that this isnt a heavy enough order, I really want to try and stay around 54-56" and have 70#

first was a mamba that blew the top limb.
Next was a bear 48Mag that blew the top limb.
Next was a mamba that split the top and bottom limb and last was a 48Mag that blew apart...de-laminated totally.
(Bear said that the 14 month bow was out of warranty and left it at that!)
All bows shooting alaskan shafts with 250 grain heads.

All my bows have 2 sets of beaver balls and double nocks attached.
all bows are shot 10grn.+
I generally dont walk the string but have on occasion.
I have use Dacron (15 strand) on two bows and Flemish (18) on the other two.
One bow (most recent blow up) was used in a few heavy rains but there was no openings in the finish...until it opened itself up.

[FerretWYO]

Have they been dry fired, hot, or had limb tips hit on anything while shooting.

Boy you have some bad luck.You might want to ask your wife what you did that made her mad.
