Ok the worst just happened but glad it happened with me and not my recipient.......it sucks.  I was shooting the bow and tweaking tiller had it to 26"-27" drawing while shooting and it let go at 15" of draw length wise along the back.  It was at a pin knot and ridge.  It was a crepe myrtle bow.  Quite a snappy shooter.  I was going to start sanding tomorrow to finish it out.  I sent my recipient a message to see what he wants to do or what the trade runners decide......I will send him the bow I received or make him a new one that is what I really want to do......but it will be up to him or the trade runners. 

These are the pin knots along the bow...


The one that let go

AWWWWWH man that sucks! I have never had an opportunity to try crepe myrtle but I have seen some beauties on here. Those pin knots look interesting. I had similar indents in a BL stave but it was old bug damage I think.

Mr. Bailey, first of all, my condolences.  It happens, seemingly most often when you can't afford to have it happen. 

Secondly, I would say the call depends on what you and your recipient can work out balancing your conscience and his needs. 
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

Bummer!! At least you can blame the wood. My trade bow failures were all my fault  :-[

Really, that sucks but I bet everyone on here understands how it is.

That sucks James.  It was looking like a cool bow.  Total bummer
