That's a shame Gio. Looks like it broke along a grain line. Did you do a lot of heat manipulating to the stave while building it?

Yep, had it happen once when I was drawing on a turkey. Not a good feeling.
If you don't like cops, next time you need help, call Al Sharpton

The first year I had decided to go trad I had my first selfbow let go the night before season. I feel your pain.
This stuff ain't no rocket surgery science!

Man, bad deal.
Noli rogare pro onia pauciora, rogate pro scapulas latiores.

I go afield with bent wood, stick and string in search of serenity  through my primal quest.

Looks like your bow has some tricky grain coming out of the handle and broke at a run out place that would have been hard for you to avoid.

I have found even the most insignificant grain violation will come back to haunt you.
