Approximately how much weight will I gain...

ssrhythm:
Great ideas and points to try and consider.  Bow is a scosh shy of 67” as is.  I’ll try to post a pic tomorrow. I can’t be sure it’s only in the top growth ring, but I think it is.  I worried about pulling it enough yo get good glue under it, but superstition CA would probably get in there.  If it’s into the next ring, I’ll probably shorten it more and make It my son’s new bow and just start another for Mo.  We are finally getting some decent temps to get out and do something with it starting tomorrow.  Thanks for all the input.

bradsmith2010:
what caused the crack, how big is it etc,,

Aksel:
I just piked a 72" bow to 70". Gained 3#. It took a slight reflex out of it. It´s now straight, so it was a slight trade off but I think it was worth it.

Pat B:
You can always add reflex back into the bow with heat.

Aksel:
Pat,  I guess I could but it´s a reflexed kink on only one limb on a Mollegabet bow I´m working on, right on the fade where the limb transitions from bending to stiff outer limb, so I´m fine with it looking less wonky now.
