Post by: stevewills on September 03, 2012, 11:57:00 AM
ok im freaking out,i was out shooting my pma2 and shoot 5 arrows and set my bow down to retrieve my arrows.when i picked it up i noticed something white on the top of my upper limb tip.the glass has seperated about 3/4 of an inch down from the tip,and you cant get your fingernail under it and im freaking out being this close to season.it isnt in the grooves its above the string..so heres the ultimate question can i glue it back.oh man....

x2 above...those  BW guys are AWESOME...i sent them a bow to have it drilled for quiver inserts....i had it back at the end of the week.

That bow is to costly to risk making a mistake!!!!!

let the experts fix it!

Put a good quality super glue under it and clamp it.

Black Widow will fix the bow and have it back to you very quickly and even if it is out of warranty, there will be very very little cost.

You are doing the right thing. The first chance at adhesives is the most important if messed up it is next to impossible to get a good bond.

Black Widow is a great company and the guys that operate it are all first class. I visit the shop in Nixa once a year, and it's always a pleasure to talk to them and they always are so friendly. I'm sure that they will make it better for you.

I have had them fix a couple of things -- one was a terrible mistake on my part that resulted in bad tip damage -- and they did what needed to be done and had the bow back to me in a matter of a few days.  Their service is impeccable.

Smart decision, Steve.  If it can be fixed it will be done correctly.
