Sorry to hear that Dan. I guess this mean that you will now have to buy a new one.   :D

I tried to send some pictures but couldn,t get them here. Bought this bow in the 70,s and I will miss it. I exploded at full draw no warning. If someone needs a handle give me a shout,

Only bow, that sucks. I've got a 45lb loaner I could part with for however long you need. Let me know. Tripper

Dan, let me know if I can help. We're not that far apart if you need a loaner. Fred

If this bow is as important to you as it sounds,go and hang it above your mantle.No matter how exploded it may be,it will still look nice.  :(   Sad Sad story.

Thank you guys for the offers, I still have my longbows and this might be a good time to really get to know these straight sticks. now I have to learn to shoot straight with these, I don,t have ol faithful to fall back on.

Use the salvaged wood to make a knife handle.

I know how you feel Dan-it wasn't my only bow but my favorite one-piece-a '68 Super Kodiak blew up on me at full draw a couple of weeks ago. I'm just now getting past flinching when I shoot. Sounds like yours gave good service-sorry for the loss.                            Grant

I forgot to say what the bow was, It was a Herters takedown with a metal riser. The riser appears to be fine.
