Re: Winderfighter

The first thing you shoud do when you get a Windfighter is to put on a thread at both ends of the handle and at the tips. These are the stress zones. I remember seeing a very good korean horn bow build attempt on atarn that failed in exactly the same place in the tillering phase.

The fiber looks still intact. If so, you can glue it up and then use a thread to reinforce the area.  I have seen a similar repair but in the middle of the limb, and the bow is still shooting well after 2 years. (around 65# @ 32
