Boy Jamie, That torques me almost as much as it does you. I had a lot of time into that bow, even if I only shot 3 arrows out of it.  :(

If you want another bow skinned, talk to me after the season. We'll see what we can do.

Jamie, I would definilty hang that one up, not worth the risk. You have got a couple of other fine bows don't take the chance. ED

Alright guys(and girl), I am retiring it. It has been hung up, unstrung since I found the crack.

Im gonna be shooting in a bit with the griff.

Brent, I got a lot of kudos on the skins at the Muzzy, FWIW.

Thanks everyone. Just seems wrong to hang up a bow ya didnt even get to draw blood with...

If not drawing blood had something to do with my bows I'd be in trouble...lol!!!!! Enjoy your season.....

hey that happened to me ... here are my results.  Seems like we could start a mourning group here...
BEFORE


AFTER   :(

Man I hope that wasn't during a shot or at full draw!

Full Draw while practicing in the yard.  I didnt get it too bad.  Just a welt on my bow arm.  But other than that no worse for the wear.

Man, its a shame that such nice bows go like that.
Glad you werent hurt too much.

Still miss my bow.  :(

jamie you could talk to rich lopez he goes by droptine 59 here on trad.gang he is a real good bow finisher-repairer you may be able to get your baby fixed at a good price .look him up an talk to him. it cant hurt.

Forget it.  I took my '65 Kodiak with both limbs delaminated over to him last week and he took one look at it and gave me instructions on how to make a lamp out of it.

sorry to here that- hope your lamp turns out nice.

Jamie,

I'm sorry you didn't get to "blood" your bow before it probably ends up retired, but... on the positive side... at least it didn't end up being YOUR blood to complete that task!

Sorry it broke.  Maybe you should take it as divine permission to buy a new bow...
