If a bow has it's limbcores separating....as in cracked? can it be fixed?<><
if the limbcores are indeed separating, its done unless you want to be really brave.
I fix them quite often. The guy sends me the bow, I get measurments of width and thickness, Make a form by clamping it down and tracing the shape of the back, remove the limbs and grind all of it off the riser down to bare wood, glue up new limbs on the form I built, so on and so forth.
The I write what sort of bow on the form and save it for the next one I have to do. The form I use the most if for Damon Howett hunters.
"The form I use the most if for Damon Howett hunters" That don't speak to highly of the bow does it. Man!! Mike that's a ton of work, the bow would really have to have some sentimental value to me to go to all that trouble.
As per your request...

This is, or was, an awesome bow. Those of you in the know, I would love your opinions.
Kerner LB 58" 50ish@28. I will be watching this thread.
Well Guys can it be fixed? If it was me...I would find someone who is good at fixing bows up and have it try. What do you have to lose.<><
Sounds like Mike can fix it, I'd send it to him.
there ya go ishiwannabe
. Maybe he can fix her up for ya?<><
I wasn't doggin damond howetts, The lst one I did was the lower limb split from the string. I think it was a low stretch string and very thin. The tip weren't made for that type string. Another one I did was 35# @ 28" and the guy wanted it hevier, so I made limbs 55# @ 28" for it.
It's really not that hard, it just takes patience.
