Title: Should I worry?
Post by: Morten Petersen on June 06, 2011, 01:57:00 PM
I have this R/D glass bow ("Quick Stick" like the one 3 Rivers sells)...I like it alot, but I have been shooting her for a year and small, white perpendicual streaks have appeared under the clear glass on the back of the bow:-(

They are not unlike frets on a selfbow, but they occur on the back of the bow, not the belly. They occur on both limbs, circa mid limb. I marked a few with a black marker (faint black marks on the picture) months back to see if the increased in size...dont think they did, but a few more have occured since then:-(

I have plenty experience with selfbows....but I have no idea if this spells the beginning of the end of my glass bow. What should I do...if anything at all?

Cheers

Guess I'd contact that manufacturer and ask the same question.
