riser crack: safety, warranty

[kunsangsean]

I've had this crack rise out of my fairly new riser. It was about two inches long, refinished for free, then has risen out again since - see picture.
My question is: is this a safety issue, and is it worth taking them up on the warranty. I feel bad putting the bowyers out for fixing it/replacing it. Then again, I don't think this should be expected in a new riser either. Thoughts?

I hate to say it, but I think you'll be replacing that riser with or without the warranty. Better to do it now while it's new and certainly before you risk injury by continuing to stress it.

Do not under any circumstance string that bow again.

God bless you,Steve

Resin-impregnated curly maple. Futurewood.

I would have the bowyer build you another bow. These  things happen. The bowyer wont have a problem with doing it. He wouldn't want to have it brake anymore than you do. No brainer, send it back. Like Sixby said, don't string it.
