Bear Stag Hunter

[mlenig]

I have a Bear Stag Hunter KG00297 45/50# that I received sometime in the early 1970's from my late uncle.  It was my first hunting bow and has great sentimental value.  I spent a lot of days walking the woods, streams and fields of Northern Indiana with this bow. It has begun to delaminate on its upper limb fadeout in the area of the sight window. It is delaminating between the riser and core/black glass.  Is there any way to repair this or is there someone that does this work to return the bow to working status.

Here are some images of the bow.










You can see the delamination on the last photograph.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm sure the good Bowdoc would say to inject Loctite420 into the offending area, clamp until dry, then shoot to your heart's content!

Thanks for the information, Kenny!  Based on what I've been reading in the forum I was thinking that may be the adhesive that I should use.

Does anyone know the kind of wood used in this riser?

More than likely it's Maple. One of the reasons for the choice of grayling Mi was a good supply of rock maple, at least that's what the old-timers told me when I lived in Michigan.
