when bad things happen to good bows - (warning! graphic image content!)

[leatherneck]

That sure does suck. Keep us informed Rob.

[Ric O'Shay]

That is some scarey piece of pipe! I've never seen it bend that way. I thought SCH. 40 had a crush strength of 3000 psi.

I usually have no problems with USPS but I loathe UPS and will avoid them at all costs. I had a large shipment of vintage audio gear destroyed by UPS only to learn that if you win the damage claim they send the payment to the shipper. So I paid for merchandise, cost of shipping, and the cost of insurance. The low life that sold me the goods took my money and the check from UPS and promptly disappeared on me! Only time I have ever been taken for a ride in an online transaction. Sadly it was one of my largest also.    :mad:

That had to be done maliciously....I can't believe that would happen in the normal course of shipping unless they ran a forklift over it...and there's no tire tracks on the tube... :(

[JohnnyWayne]

Yikes! Good Luck to yah Rob    :eek:

[JamesKerr]

What a bummer. Hope you get your money back Rob.

[bolong]

Sure would be interesting to know exactly how someone managed to do that.

[Ben Maher]

What a shame mate ! And Such a beautiful bow too !
I am dubious as to how that could have been done in normal transit with that big poly pipe ... someone went wrong somewhere big time !
Hope it works out for you .

[Dodger]

Insurance or not, I feel sorry for you and Craig.

[adkmountainken]

if i had to guess i would say someone slammed the tractor tralior door closed on it, highly doubt it was the route driver.

That made me chuckle quite a bit as well  

[Huntschool]

No trailer door can do that to sch 40 PVC... that took a controlled bend with restraint on one end....

[GMASIUK]

Sorry Rob no disrespect ment with my first statement, I'm not trying to start anything. It's just that I was surprised to see S-40 bend like that. I do hope it works out for you. Again sorry for your loss, Glen

[FerretWYO]

That's a sad sad deal. Way to ruin a true piece of art.

I have never seen sch 40 bend either.

[Plumber]

sch40 wont bend like that it will break it had to be sch 10 or sdr35 none the less it stinks ship in sch 40 only.the plumber

[Keefer]

Not doubting it's not shedule 40 p.v.c. but from being a plumber most my life I would like to also let many of you know schedule 40 p.v.c. is made in what most of you see as a solid core or Foam core...Most of the Foam core that I have seen and used has  black writing on it and the solid all the way through has red writing on it...Foam core can shatter also but I've also seen it kink like the photo or crushed so to speak...One way to know if it's foam core is by the weight...If you had a 10 foot piece of solid and a ten foot pc. of foam core you will tell...The foamcore could be used in a house just like the solid p.v.c. but wasn't aloud to be used under ground by some county codes due to crushing ...Some guys will still use it underground and turn the writing facing down so inspecters wouldn't know the difference if they ran out of solid core...Also when cutting it with a saw you will be able to tell the difference..So I think it is a possibility it's schedule 40 but foam core ....Now thinwall is another story...Oh and foamcore is less expensive then solid...God Bless, Keefer's <><
