Sad but true here....Many archers outside the loop of making natural material bows think it's a waste of time to try to make or even shoot these wooden sticks with wooden arrows to boot.So some to try to prove their point by paying no heed of caution by the bowyer just plain try to break the bow to prove their point.I've had those type encounters too.
It's sad really too because at 3D shoots where FG and compound shooters are at in between rounds of shooting I don't leave the bow out of my sight.At bow making gatherings like Twin Oaks and Mo Jam no type precaution is needed.
