I just went out and tried about 10 shots and then one of my tips sheared off. No harm done. The chrono worked very well. It's been broken before. It's a poor design. The wire that support the shades actually plug into the plastic sensor housings. If you hit the wire with an arrow or drop it the sensor housing comes apart and pieces go everywhere. Then because the screws strip out of the housing they never go back quite the same. This time because I glued it back together maybe it worked better. I dunno.

I've not had this happen since I started using Ocean Spray tips. It just split off. It was a temporary tip. I may have started the split when I was filing the groove. Sometimes my file seems to bind a bit in the slot.

DC,
The grain on the overlays need to be perpendicular to the back of the bow. I'll take a pic of the hackberry molle I'm working with osage overlays for an example. You should never have that issue, that's why overlays are added....

What's the grain orientation of your overlays? I've had the string split the overlay along the grain just like that with some overlays. Didn't learn my lesson and did it again, then somebody suggested putting the overlay with the rings perpendicular to the back of the bow, helped but the wood was still too soft (mahogany I think). FWIW

I usually do it that way, grain perpendicular. I'm not sure this time as it was just a temp. OS is so strong it surprised me. It's sawdust now so I can't check. New one is on, perpendicular, glue is drying.

Here is the pic's.................Hope this help's .....I would not even put a temporary on that way. If it failed it could break your bow...
I love using tight ringed osage for overlays.

It occurred to me that I had reduced my strings from 10 strands of FF to eight. That probably didn't help. I'll remember to put in some short strands next one.
