Crazy bub!!! Glad you are OK, could have been disastrous to your well being.

If that is in the one layer of glass and nothing wrong in lamination, I think that could be repaired with super glue. If the crack has any openings that can be taken advantage of to get glue to seep in. The sucess of repair could be judged by how much the cloudiness goes away as the glue will make it clear if it penetrates. How much poundage? what kind of bow? Have any questions PM me. I am not a Bowyer but have repaired a couple over the years.

Sorry to hear it Bisch. I've used golf club epoxy with ALOT of success on an old a Grey Wolf of mine. (Still shooting it cracked over 10 years ago) let me know if I can help.

I am sorry to hear of this accident, but you were very very blessed today in that you were not hurt at all. The bow is replaceable, but you my friend are not. God Bless

Tough day Bisch, I'm sure if Bob can't fix it he can build you another set. If they can't be repaired, make sure the fire's hot...

What a horrible way to end a great day.

Clint, I do have another bow, but not another recurve. With the Recurve Championship tournament coming up in 3 weeks I have to figure something out fast!

Thanks for all the well wishes guys. I am going to look into fixing this a little more as several have suggested might be able to be done. Me and this bow were pretty tight and I sure hate the thought of having to find a new dance partner.

Matt, had it been you, just hold on and bring the vehicle to a stop with minimal damage to the truck. Another case for the heavy bow advocate.

Sorry, Bisch, that's a bummer.

Raging Water · « **Reply #34 on:** June 11, 2012, 12:01:00 AM »

Yeah, I should have just stabbed the engine block with my Howard Hill Longbow and pinned the truck to the ground.

Sorry, Bisch.

Matt

Bummer Bisch!
Like some others have mentioned you might get some of the thin super glue, Locktite420 or similar, warm up the limb and the glue some and apply it. Have some Q-tips ready to catch the overflow. Bowdoc might have some good advice if you contact him.
I have a bunch of recurves your welcome to use any of them, but I know how persnickity you can be about your equipment. And you have a powerful resource in Bob Sorrels

Bummer. Bright side...new bow coming?

Steve Clandinin · « **Reply #37 on:** June 11, 2012, 01:06:00 AM »

Hey Bisch,before you go the super glue route try some actual bow epoxy,like smooth on of G2.It would be alot stronger.Even if you have to lift the splinter to force glue underneath, clamp and let dry .Sand smooth and add some finish.Its surprising what this can do.All the best with her.Steve
