What to do with a broken bow?

[Caleb Andes]

Hello All! Clicking on this thread you are probably looking to hear some sob story about how I broke my bow.. That would be wrong. My father in law just bought a farm last year with an old broken down house on it. While snooping through the junk inside today I found this old broken in half recurve. It is a Hogren Special. Anyone know anything about these bows? I have not been able to turn up an information on them at all. I am guessing its from an amateur bowyer considering this particular bow is #006 haha.


So what would you/could I do with a broken bow? Any cool ideas!?!?

put a new limb on it!

[lpcjon2]

Cut the handle off and make a door handle to the man cave.

You can always use part of it for knife scales!

How about a lamp base?

I have one I hope to finish my lamp now that days are getting longer and hunting season over.Kip

Be grateful that you weren't holding it at full draw when it broke?

[reddogge]

Cut off the lower limb, square off the upper limb and dislplay it or just make a couple of knife handles out of it if the wood is nice. Cut the tip off and make a key fob.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Make a bow rack out of it!

Firewood.

Man cave door handle is a good idea

[americanhunter7]

Use the tips as key fobs....Got that idea from TG member reddogge. I like the door handle to MAN CAVE idea as well.

Door handle in my garage.

cut the limbs off and use it as a riser for a 3 piece.

Salvage the riser and bring it back to life.

[statikpunk]

cut the other limb off and tie some exercise bands to each end and use it as a strength trainer, and still be able to work on your form

I'd sure like to hear from any bowyers out there whether or not this would be feasible. I also have one that I can't shoot, but hate to throw it in the fire.

Cut out the handle and build a slingshot maybe?
