Help with fixing a Bow

<< < (3/4) > >>

Eric Krewson:
I know my opinion seems harsh but the bow is around 50 years old with deteriorated fiberglass, not worth risking a failure at full draw with. Think fiberglass splinters in your eyes and reconsider putting it into use.

I still have my first solid fiberglass bow from the 50s, a Paul Bunyan 35 pounder. the fiberglass has cracked and deteriorated on it as well. When I found it in my mothers house about 15 ears ago I made a string for it, strung it, took a couple shots, thought of what poor condition it was in and put it back in the closet.

 Bows 50 years ago were made with woven glass. They won't explode, just splinter. You can fix it very easy and simply with super glue.

Postman:
believe it or not, my first bow was a solid  aluminum recurve -

Good luck fixing the bow and making bows in the future

Sparrow:

mullet:
 They are 20-25#. I have 3 of them.
