At least I think I can go right back and hit 60lbs!! so it wasnt a total loss.
Been there, done that. Press on regardless!!!
The best tools a bowyer, wood or glass, can have in his kit is patience and concentration. The rewards can be great when using these tools but very discouraging and disappointing when not. I learned this the hard way like many others have. These kind of lessons usually stick with us.
Sorry to hear about your bow but looks like you got right back in the saddle. Pat
Been there and done that. It worked out though.
