Snapped my boys bow to be

(1/2) > >>

Bo:
 :'(  I snapped it stringing it for the 1st time.  I just tried to rush things and that happens sometimes I guess.  It was for my boy and he had put some time into it.  He took it better than I did.  It was a red oak board bow 58 in ntn with recurved tips.  It was going to be beautiful and now it is broken much like my bow making spirit.  This is just a reminder to all that it only takes a second of poor judgment to end the life of your selfbow.

Skeaterbait:
Yep, it just happens. I have an osage that I was working on and at the first brace I heard the tick. Game over.

Gordon:
If you are going to build bows you are going to break some - that comes with the territory. You just got to let it go and start another.

George Tsoukalas:
I went through that too. Take a look at the thread "1st Brace". Jawge

venisonburger:
I had a pile at one time of broken bows, some that had months into them, and in a second, gone. But don't give up, at least you learned something from it. Jump back into it and watch so you avoid the mistake. maybe the next on will work.
