You reckon I can fix this?
Justin Snyder:
OK Bob, let me try explaining it again. The "patch" will look like the first picture. ;) You cut the ends off the broken bow for tip overlays, and you are done.
Coo-wah-chobee:
Thx for further explanation Justin. :-\...bob
Pappy:
SW Was there a growth ring violation there or a knot or something,we reflex Osage all the time and it doesn't usually cause a problem.Look at it close and see if you can figure out what caused it.
Was the spring ring[the white chalky part]Thin or thick,I have seen them separate if they are thick.
Then if you can't figure it out cook brats with it,we all need fire wood.That is why I tell folks that are just getting started don't get to attached to a piece of wood until it is a bow. :) :'(

Pappy:
O ya I almost forgot,I don't think duct tape will do the trick on this one. ;)Did it break straight across or splinter up the limb.Usually straight across is dry rot.

Minuteman:
Keep after it Sawfiler. Everybody hates this but" If ya ain't breakin' 'em ya ain't makin' 'em!"
Do like Pappy said and try to determine why it broke and learn from it . Move on. It does hurt a bit when that much work goes down the drain :'(, keeps us humble though. ;)
