Title: Problem with fiberglass
Post by: Farmbus on February 03, 2008, 09:19:00 PM
Hello everyone. First post but I've been lurking here for a few months. Good people and good information here.
  I hate to be a bum with my first post, but I had hoped that someone here might be able to help me. A friend of mine has a "Wilderness Bows" 65# @28 by Neil Russell long bow that has a few areas on the back that looks like the glass has separated from the wood.  Neither of us new if they could be fixed or if they should even be worried about. Here is a picture. Sorry about the quality but there is a small crack just under each blemish and I can't tell if it is in the wood or just in the finish. There are two more like these but smaller on the other limb. Can this be easily fixed? Does it need to be? Thanks everyone in advance.

Yep,I'd go with doc's advice. I HAD a bow that had a spot like that but bigger,kept shootin it off and on,it never got visibly bigger till the end! Happy it didn't whack me any harder than it did!
