Done a real smart one today. Dropped a stand on my bow from 15'.     :knothead:    
It looks worse in the pics but the glass is busted a little and the limb core boogered a little on the side about 1/8" deep from side to center the glass lam is seperated from the maple about 1" long by 1/8".
Can I fix this at home and how do I do it or do I need to send t oa bowyer. Season starts in a couple of weeks and this is the only bow I have to hunt with until late Nov.
Here are some pics.
Direst link to pics. I couldn't figure out how to resize

Afraid a snake

Kris if things don't work out let me know.I've got a couple extra bows that you can borrow for the season!

Stiks-n-Strings

Thanks alot Snake, that's a very generous offer and greatly appreciated.
I think I got it fixed snaded it down today and it looked good, shot it about 10 or 12 times and a sliver of the glass came up a little so I touched up the repair with a little super glue and clamped it back up. I'll give it a good while and sand it again and shoot and see what happens.
First trial shots the bow shot great but I did'n't want to push it just yet until I get all the nasty fixed.
