Newbie to jefferson city Missouri and new to primative archer. I've made self arrown and have been knapping glass but I cannot stop busting bows . Given it was a board bow (hickory) I used a rasp and was making a Molly but snapped during tillering. Any tips or suggestions?

Welcome Dmathis.  Plenty of good information here.  I grew up in the Jefferson city area, my folks still live it that way.

Thanks for the welcome and I know Brian I set a reminder on my phone just incase was a rough morning. And sweet I made a few more points. still glass cause that's all I have to work with but good practice. That bow obese making snapped had a hinge that I didn't pay attention to. Had a 62 lb draw at 27 inches tho.
