Help with fixing a Bow

<< < (2/4) > >>

Sparrow:
Looks like my first bow. (Except mine wasn't splintered) Got it at a yard sale. Shot my 1st archery deer with it when I was 16. I don't know where it is today. I would think that what Mullet said would work. Worth a try. Good luck !  '  Frank

I found some fiberglass cloth on line and if it was me, I would make a patch with some of that along with some epoxy. If you want to try that, send me your mailing address and  I will send you a strip. You can use the epoxy you get at Home Depot or Walmart.

Tanis:
Thank you all for the info!  ;D

I know this forum is more of the "wood" bow group, and i appreciate the info and trying to help out.
This bow does have sentimental value to me and it is my first bow. So I will end up fixing it and shooting
it a bit.

I do want to get into the wood bows and eventually try making my own. So I knew coming here to this forum
i'd get some help.

Thank you all again and i'll try and get this bow going!!

My first bow was a green fiberglass cast off from my older brother.  I'd give choice from my bow rack of handmade custom bows for that piece of f/g crap even though I am one of those on here that considers the "F" word to have three syllables. 

Tanis, I understand and honor your choice to conserve that bow, it's part of who you were growing up and it's worth the effort. 

Having said that, hang it up on the wall and get yer butt back in here for some lessons on building your first all wood bow!!!  Trust me, you will find a new love and and addiction similar to crack without the legal repercussions.

beetlebailey1977:
I agree with JW.  I would leave the bow as is and not shoot it.  Just put it up on the wall to look at and remember.  To me if you try to fix it you are in effect changing the bow and its history.  I would preserve it as is.   :)  But that is my opinion.
