Hi all

I have a 1970 something Bear Kodiak I took from my dad to shoot it a bit- (He knows and was willing to let me).  I was shooting it a good bit and one day the arrow flew off the string and made a very funny noise.  It turns out the the back-side (not belly) limb tip cracked ever-so-slightly right where the string meets the notches.  The crack is only about a centimeter long from the notches towards the riser.  Never did shoot again for fear of making things worse.  Is there anyway this could be fixed to shoot again, or has it become a wall piece for the ages?

Thanks for your advice.

Can you post a picture?  It's hard to say without seeing the tip.

Picture would help. Surprised that such a small crack would make any noise as the arrow was released.
I'd be checking to make absolutely sure there is not a hidden crack somewhere. Try strumming the string as you check it out.
As for the tip repair should be pretty easy with some thin super glue.

I have the same bow in a newer model with the same issue and it now just hangs on the wall....mine actually cut my string...I will be interested to see if I can repair it. I will try to get at picture as well.
