Loctite 420 should do the trick. I've seen it fix worse than that.

I can only see short delam, can’t see split in glass. My very first thought upon seeing the picture was the possibility of FF string having been used, I have heard that it will break tips off, never saw it myself.

I’m sure many could tell by look and feel, I’d like to think I could, but wouldn’t guarantee it. :lol: :oops:
If I didn’t know for sure I would be ordering a B50 or B55 just to be safe.

Is the bow faster than comparable bows? I bought a used 1966 41# Grizzly years ago that was about 5 fps faster than 45# bows. Turned out it had fastflight string. The string also had a smaller string count than the strings they came with.
Jesus replaces the old covenant and speaks to the believer the moral code of God by His Spirit directly to the heart. He is the eternal, everlasting revelation of God to mankind. In Him is both the knowledge of righteousness and the power to live right.

The material looks and feels a bit different. You can really tell the difference in the way it ties.
Nothing clears a troubled mind like shooting a bow.

Finally came in. I’ll try to get it on this weekend. Going to be a busy weekend though. Youth hunt is this weekend so we will be in a tree a lot.
