Why did this happen?

<< < (2/2)

Muskyman:
Curious if you ever got your bow fixed?  Hope it went well for you. I had something similar happen to one once and I never fixed it. I thought about taking it completely off and gluing a handle on it but never did anything with it.

Bruce M:
No I haven't glued it yet and am not too sure I am going to because the bow had tremendous hand shock despite being one of the best tillering jobs I have done so far in my short bow building experience.

I think now, and maybe I'm wrong, is that the fades are ramped down too sharp as woodbear eluded to. Thinking this is what was the cause of the severe hand shock and maybe contributing to the cracked handle as well, idk just mulling it over.

Anyway that bow has been put up on the "to be continued" rack.
