I broke my bow!

[Hopewell Tom]

What a shocker!
At full draw, a sickening sound, something nicking me under the eye, pieces on the floor and me holding the remains in my hand. Two days (maybe more) of mourning...

What remains of my 1967 LH Bear Super Kodiak Magnum.
48#@28".






In better days:




Lucky I wasn't hurt... I guess.

[Shinken]

Glad to learn that you survived without injury!

There are many more bows out there....

Shoot straight, Shinken

 

[Orion]

Glad to hear you didn't get hurt.  They don't make more of those every day, but there are still a fair number around.  Inquisitive.  what's your draw length?

[Goshawkin]

That's too bad,was a good looking bow. At least you didn't hurt your eye! Just curious,what's your draw length?

[Drewster]

I had that happen once with a Herter's bow......NO fun!  Glad you weren't badly hurt.

[Green]

Glad you weren't hurt when it blew.  That's definitely a catastrophic failure.     :eek:

[jess stuart]

Sorry for your loss, stuff happens but it sure don't make it any easier.

If that were mine id build a form based on the good side, sand thst riser down to get all the glass, lams, and glue off it and remake it. Take more time making the form than doing the rest, just take exact measurements of stack and widths of the limb.

I'm glad you did not get hurt brother! I lament the loss of your '67 Kodiak magnum but I'm glad that all is well with you and more importantly... That you can tell the story with no injury! God has blessed you brother!

[zipper bowss]

:(  A sad day.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Bummer    

I know how it feels. Glad you are OK.

[moleman]

Glad your OK, but ill say one thing brother, when you do it, you do it up right! LOL  Thats a crying shame right there, that was a beautiful bow, sorry for your loss. The pain of losing the bow was far less than the pain of personal injury. Good luck finding one to replace it.

[JamesKerr]

Sorry for your loss.

[no nothing]

Sorry for the loss, but glad you have your eyes !

[straitera]

Bummer Tom.

[AngelDeVille]

Maybe it's still under warranty?

So sorry for your loss, those are beautiful bows!

[Bjorn]

What a bummer!! Sorry for your loss!

[jsweka]

Pics like those just make me cringe.

Glad your OK.

[wooddamon1]

That sucks! Glad you're OK, though...

[jarradmears]

Thats a serious tragedy. I would have been really upset with any bow coming apart but especially one of that vintage.
