Maybe it’s time for a new bow?

#1 Post by Carpdaddy »

Since this one blew up at full draw today? I’m thinking that leaving it strung in a hot garage in near 100 degree temperatures may not be the best idea! Got by a lot of years though. Not today. Thankfully it only hurt my pride and slightly slapped d me. :oops:

Ouch, glad you didn't get hurt. You needed something to do anyway.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

I had to jerk another one off the wall, little heavier weight, wheels are turning on new limbs!

Wow! But, you need to move that rack from the garage to inside the house. This isn't the first case I've heard of where excessive temps have caused bow failures.
