Bow Cracks
« on: April 10, 2020, 04:34:39 pm »
So recently I made a ash and fiberglass bow. I put about 200 or so shots through it and it started to sound like a box of rice krispies. At first I thought it was glue or varnish on the fiberglass crackling. I ended up finding 2 small cracks on the side of the bow one is on the belly underneath the riser an one is on the back under the fiberglass. I ended up putting the bow on the tillering tree and put ca glue in the cracks and it only makes noises when string the bow should I be worried.

Hang it up before you get hurt.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Seriously, hang it up. This thing is warning you of impending doom. 

The only time a bow should make sounds being drawn is in a movie where the director has the Foley crew put in leather creaking noises for dramatic effect.

Time to start another! You got this next one.
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.
