Title: Need New Limbs
Post by: IBEW 716 on October 29, 2010, 02:34:00 PM
I managed to accidentally dryfire my take down recurve when an arrow nock broke.  This in destroyed one of my limbs.  I have been unsuccessful in getting the original bowyer to produce a new set of limbs.  It seems he is no longer interested.  Is my riser and expensive paper weight or is it possible that someone else could fabricate a set of limbs that will work?  I would hate to send the riser to the scrap heap.  It was a beutiful bow and made me truly happy for a long time.   :help:  

I did try searching for an answer hoping not to clog the forum, but was unable to find a post that covered my need.

Depends on the bow but some will interchange with any limbs from same type of bow ,some will not. Who made the bow?

It was a 55 @ 28, 62" Sweptwing takedown.  I don't see them very often in classifieds here or at the leather wall.

Try mad dog archery. I think he does something like that.

I know he can save busted one piece recurves by basically scraping off the limbs and reusing the riser.

I think me may be able to help or point you in the right direction.
