 5/8 is not thick enough for 50#, you will be at a big risk at 60#. If your handle holds you will be fine but its very iffy.

Well here it is. 40# 28 inches gonna put about 100 arrows through it and see what happens, there is minimal to no bend at the fades now with this beaded up handle. I'm not expecting it to last but I'll see what happens.

Hope the bow holds up for you.  You can buy Unibond online from a few places.  I usually get it from 3 Rivers Archery.

  . I think your lam slipped a bit too far and may allow the handle to flex where the arrow shelf is cut out, maybe not but could be a problem.

This concerns me as well...its borderline. Guess youll find out when ya tiller it...

Can u measure how thick it is at the deepest part of your cut,and also how wide it is there?
