There's probably not much flex in that area, is there?

No noticeable flex. It’s right above the grip. I bought the bow used, but I’ve had it for years. Not sure why it started to come apart there.

It's been a hot, humid summer. Look what happened to Carpy's bow...

If you can't find any locally Amazon has it. It's amazing how far it will wick into little cracks

Glad it worked. What’s that on the side? Trying to read it?

It’s a Robertson Stykbow purist. 64” 63#@27.5
I’ve started shooting it more and more the last few years and I really like it. I have to shoot pretty regular to keep my muscles in shape, it draws in the upper 60’s at my 29” draw.

Sounds good Dan. I hope it last hundreds of shots for you esp how good it fits you and your excellent shooting with it.

I hope so. I’ve always wanted to get a custom bow built for me, I guess if it falls apart I’ll at least have an excuse to spend the money.
