noooooo!  the riser on my bow popped off.

i was putting on finnish and after th 3rd coat was dry  i was going to measure draw weight.   So i put it in the tillerring tree and the draw weight was all messed up it was about 5 lbs to low  i took the bow off the tillerring tree and the handle was coming off.  i took a knife and cut the glue and the rest off the handle came off.

i called my dad at work and he said we might put screws in or something.

i think it came off because it was drying in the sun and it soffened the glue.

i would post a picture of it put for some reason i cant put upload pictures the program wont let me.

i need help

David, when you re-glue it try apoxy or use the wood glue again and wrap it with glue soaked thread where it meets the limb....Brian

Pat B:
David, What glue did you use?  If your bow bends at all in the handle the handle riser will pop off also.   Pat

koan:
