Recently broke the tip on this old Herters, 1961 I believe. It shot really well. I didn't pay a whole lot for it $40 or so. Any suggestions?

Yep! hang it on the wall.

looks pretty bad. Try posting this over at the history/collecting forum and you might get a better answer.
Thanks,
Wasn't sure where to post this question . I'll give that a try. Thanks for the info on brace height on Herters bows on another thread. I have a few that I lucked into. Great shooters and look good to.
Bowdoc is hunting right now, right? Maybe Droptine will see this.

Do not think that can be fixed, wall hanger for sure.

Not really sure what happened. I'd had it for a while and had shot quite a bit with it. Great shooter. Actually hit where I pointed it, most of the time! One afternoon fired an arrow and it sounded and felt different and a millisecond later the string slapped me in the face. I thought that the bow had exploded, as I've read that this can happen. I was lucky enough to only have a pretty good welt on my cheek.
Any ideas? I thought I had looked it over pretty good for cracks and delams, apparently missed something. Time for new glasses?
:rolleyes: :saywhat:
Were you shooting a dacron string?
I shoot 3rivers dacron strings. I thought dacron was safe?
you can always shorten it the same from each end and redo the nocks but it will be heavy, it will look like a reflex deflex then you can take some width from the limbs to lighten the load.
But the auction site is full of bows similar to that!!
