Small Concern
« on: December 13, 2015, 11:03:00 PM »
I am not a bowyer and no expert.  I noticed these little cracks if you will in my new patriot. Probably nothing but you know a new bow is like a new baby you notice everything.... At least I do.  Not sure if they are just in the finish or in the glass itself (if I was guessing I would just say finish).  I did some research and just did a drop of superglue.  Would this be of concern to any of you? Based on where it is?  Looking just towards the right the line on the left was the end of the drop of super glue.

Thanks

   

   

   

   

I know the lighting is not the best.  Really just looking at the two main parts that seem to have a crack before the drop of super I could feel it very slightly with a finger nail.  Any thoughts are welcome interested in what you all think.  Bow is new had for about a week.
Thanks,
Dave

Looks like the finish just wrinkled to me. Polish it with some 0000 steel wool and rub it out with a cotton rag.  It should be fine.... If those ARE cracks, talk to Big Jim.

I know I had a harrison longbow that was carbon backed that I sold to a guy named larry Burford from Ark,, he said it had fine cracks near the riser and they looked exactly the same so I refunded his money.

bow was 45@28 and 70"  and with my 27" draw it eventually delaminated right up the back of the bow..

Jack Harrison told me he was experimenting with carbon on the back but had that happen a few times where it let go right at the grip,, he couldn't help me because I bought the bow used so into the dumpster it went.

Well good news is I'm under warranty so I'm going to give it a month a check back.
