Title: Howatt Limb De-Lam
Post by: ShrtRnd on April 28, 2018, 02:49:02 AM

Was given a Damon Howatt Hunter #55@28" AMO 62" today by a co-worker. Unfortunately the bottom limb has de-laminated due to neglect. The rest of the bow is actually in good shape

Just wondering if it's worth the effort to have it repaired or not?

I would have to say no, with the damage to the laminations. If you like the riser, you could have someone relimb it , but would prob cost more than its worth. JMO

Agree with kenny. Could glue it back together, but would never be sure it would hold together.

Or not... I agree with the previous posters. I would take Kenny's word over the Bible on bow building/repairing

Glue it back together and hang it on the wall. It's shooting days are over.
