I broke a bow trying to hurry it so I thought I would try and salvage it with a piece of scrap spliced together

Nice save.  I sure admire you wooden bow guys.  I have made a couple but they never looked anywhere, as nice as the ones I see on here.

Wow. That's an awesome fix there Ranger. You put a leather wrap on there, and I bet nobody would be the wiser.

Very nice indeed.
