I felt bad for him, I hope he did not give up..i hope he did some research on the internet and found out how bows are made.. I thought the bow was gonna break at the riser, tnen I saw the hinge when he strung it.

lol, poor guy, not sure why he thought trying to full draw that was a good idea, may have been ok with a little kids short draw.

I would like to hear from the experts here about his bow design. Lets learn from this!

From what I have read, his limbs were too narrow. He should have had a lot more width to mid limb?
Maybe a wide pyramid style would have worked with his chosen material? Cast would probably be poor, though.

Thoughts?

I have had that "It Broke" look on my face a time or two. Truly is one of the best ways to learn.

The thing I noticed most about the look on his face was that the despair was mixed with surprise. It was like he never even considered the possibility that the bow could fail.
