I messed up and didnt tie my longbow onto my bow lowering string right and it fell from about 6 feet hitting a rock.  The limb separated at the end and about 10-12 inches down the bow.  I know I might not be able to save it but I am going to try.  I was going to put epoxy into the separated limb and hold it together with a bunch of C clamps and then put it in my attic for about 2 weeks.   Which type and brand of epoxy would be the best to use?  Any other suggestions as to what to try.  I have another longbow ordered and being made but would like to get this one running as well.  I realize that my chance of success is not very good but figured I would try it.  Thanks for anyone advice.

I have had very good success using Loctite 420, an industrial CA glue.. It seeps into the cracks better than epoxy and other CA glues. Just clamp and let it dry overnight to be sure.
