Not sure weather that’s a viable option or not. Anyway heat it then try and get it apart.. might be the dumbest idea ever but I excel at those so I thought I put it out there.

Haha. Thanks mike. I haven’t tried that yet. I may have to shoot a bunch more first and give that a whirl if still no go. One things for sure it will be a tight fit if I ever get it apart.
Hamish:
Heat gun sounds like it might be worth a try, but I wouldn't go overboard with the heat, use hair dryer temperature(warm, not so hot you can't touch it). Another option would be to run it under the hot tap, like you do to loosen up a tight jar.
I would then heavily wax both parts and let it dry, so next time it should be easier to take apart.

Thanks Hamish. I did some more shooting today and still not budging. I may have to resort to a little heat.
Muskyman:
Agree, blow dryer over heat gun. Heat gun might tend to melt that, I assume fiberglass handle.
Hopefully you’ll get it apart without anything other then shooting it a bunch..
Good looking bow regardless
Selfbowman:
Nice bow Dave
